When the new F10 5er came out I found myself really enjoying the styling and look of the car, and I still do. I think the M5 is a monster and one of my favorite sedans out there. And the 5 series is a true E-Class/A6 competitor. It's a great car.
But I saw a F30 328 parked right by a F10 528 and from the back, at quick glance, the cars looked almost identical. The new 3 series looks like a mini-me 5 series, not the differentiated sporty sedan the E90 is. Yes, I'm sure the M3 will be a beast, and I know that I've seen some beautiful MSport 335s modded tastefully, but what I've heard from driving reviews, the car really is just a mini luxury sedan, for people who can't afford a 5 series... Not a differentiated model.
I know I'm probably starting a flame war, but as a BMW enthusiast, I had to share my opinion on a BMW forum.
