Well, I'd like to disagree. See, Audi has a really huge grille, whereas BMW's E90 has an extension of the power-bulge. The lines extend all the way from the inside of the A-pillars, down the bonnet, alongside the kidney-grille and eventually meet at the base of the front air-intake. Trace the lines with a pencil and you'll see what I mean.

That's the thing about BMW's new design-language. If you really want to understand it, take a picture from a magazine and trace all the lines with a pencil. You'll realise that the lines flow together and make more sense than most other brands' products. The only area where the lines don't quite flow together is the top of the boot area - a common critisism of the new generation of BMWs. Other than that, BMW's new styling makes alot of sense. Just look at the waist-line for instance. It starts at the front headlights, continues along the side then flows into the rear as the shutline for the boot. Same thing with the waistline which flows into the rearlights. The power-bulge that flows into the windshield. The traditional "kick" in the C-pillars. The way the driver's head is always (except in the Z4's case) situated in the middle of the wheelbase. And so on and so forth.

As you guessed by now, I like BMW's new look. Shoot me.

It is the epitome of sporty flair in its segment and for years it has maintained the leading position as the mostly widely sold premium vehicle in the world. Now the BMW 3 Series sets out to extend its lead even further. Specific design modifications, a further refined interior design, the new generation of the optional operating concept BMW iDrive, new services provided by BMW ConnectedDrive, a revised range of engines and innovations in the areas of drive technology, safety and comfort make both the new BMW 3 Series Saloon and the new BMW 3 Series Touring more attractive than ever before.

With rear-wheel drive, harmonious axle load distribution, outstanding steering precision and highly sophisticated chassis technology, the BMW 3 Series sets unsurpassed standards for driving dynamics in its segment. More than ever before, this unique driving pleasure can now be combined with an awareness of economy and minimised pollutant emissions. Thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics the new BMW 3 Series achieves significantly lower fuel consumption and exhaust emission levels with each of the ten engine variations available than those of the relevant competitors in the premium segment.

The new features in the powertrain field include the further optimised electronically controlled all-wheel drive system BMW xDrive. This intelligent all-wheel drive system which variably distributes the drive force between front and rear wheels to enhance driving dynamics as well as ride stability and traction can now be combined with five engine types. The new BMW 320d xDrive is available as a Saloon and Touring model.

Another new feature for both body versions: the BMW 318d - by far the most efficient vehicle of its category with an average fuel consumption of just 4.7 litres per 100 kilometres - is now also available with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

Parallel to the market launch of the new BMW 3 Series Saloon and the new BMW 3 Series Touring, a new 7-speed sports automatic transmission with double clutch will be presented for the Coupé and the Convertible of the series. This allows further improved acceleration figures in the models BMW 335i Coupé and BMW 335i Convertible, and combines this added dynamic performance - as compared to the standard 6-speed manual transmission - with the comfort features of an automatic transmission.

The 7-speed sports automatic transmission with double clutch shifts without interrupting traction.
