Full disclosure: I like a good BMW. I like a well-sorted 3 Series. I actually own an old 328i Sport (E36) and happen to think it has aged tremendously gracefully and is frankly one of the finest cars ever built. Others in the office disagree quite vociferously but they"re clearly wrong. News of a new BMW 3 Series was of interest, then. This is, after all, a model line that has shifted more than 15 million cars during its lifetime. It"s the reason BMW exists today; the core of its range. The car that allowed the company to use its Ultimate Driving Machine" tag and actually be proved right. It is a Very Important Car. So you"ll have to forgive me if I think the styling"s a bit fussy. Threes used to be clean, simple designs find a cared-for, unmolested E21, E30, E36 or even E46 (you"ll have to try quite hard) and you"ve got something really quite timeless.
