My esteemed colleague Vijay has argued his case for the new BMW 3 Series not being as good-looking as we might have hoped. Have to say, I agree with him. The random line-generator body surfacing is naff, the whole rear"s been nicked from the Lexus IS (which did it better) and the kidney grilles are less shark-nose, more pig snout. But I do think there"s cause for optimism. This might well be the first BMW 3 Series for a couple of generations that"s going to be gratifying to sit in. BMW usually get the fundamentals spot on. Sit low, straight-legged, pull the steering wheel miles out of the dashboard so it"s grazing your nipples. Add just a hint of driver-orientation to the dashboard, so the passenger is in no doubt they"re in an Ultimate Driving Machine, and is being ignored in favour of the driver.
