The 3-Series Compact looks like an ugly ass Rover. That is the UGLIEST BMW I have seen in ages.

Yes, there is a Flash presentation with all sorts of info. Try reloading the page a few times as they cycle different news stories.

Looks fine by me, they just need to put the regular 3 Series headlights on in place of those ones :disgust:

I really don't care how it looks. As long as it has that 2.5 Liter Inline-Six, 50/50 weight distribution, a 5-speed manual box, and rear-wheel drive, I surely don't care how it looks. Fun, rear-wheel-drive cars with such power are getting more and more rare. If I can't afford a 330ci, then I'll certainly take a 325ti. The thing could be a barn-stormer!

LOL, that 3-Compact DOES indeed look like a Rover--I bet BMW dipped into their parts bin for the headlights! If they ARE cutting costs and using Rover parts, then I really do hope it keeps the under $20k price tag of the original 318ti. That was one sweet car for the money--though today I'd probably spring for an A3 (or S3--but right now I haven't the money for either!!) I really don't care what kinda parts are in the 3-compact, as long as its gotta BMW engine, tranny and drivetrain!

You're not gonna get either one of those here in North Carolina or the U.S. for that matter. And no, Performance doesn't have them :)
