Saw one on the road - looked OK but not as good as in the pictures - which is usually the reverse of the Bangle'esque design.
Did he design this one - I thought he left BMW a while ago?

I don't really like the new shape 3 series in 5 door, but I saw a coupe the other day and it looked superb. Just hope they've sorted the reliability issues out

However the ride is very firm (which I like) but it won't suit everyone ...

Theyre nice, but so pricey - 335d coupe is over £35k as standard, and youre looking at £38k with options like leather and big alloys...
I agree they do look great tho! Almost tempted myself, but I feel there'll become so common the resale wont be that great when you come to sell on in 2years.

The company have quoted me 55% retained value after 3 years / 54,000 miles - which is rather better than my scoob which has lost 60% in the same period / mileage ....
