BMW F35 : 3 Series Rendering (下一代新三系列合成圖)

Could this be the next design for the best seller in the BMW family, the 3 series? The current E90 BMW 3-series has only been on the market since 2005 but details about the next-gen model are already circulating with most agreeing that the next model will feature styling lifted from the Concept CS.

Due in 2012, the next BMW 3-series will be the first of a family of BMW cars with a more recognizable face derived from the original styling of the Shanghai concept.

With the new 3-series, designers will attempt to address criticisms of the current car’s awkward styling and lack of interior space. These renderings, compiled using information from sources close to the project show that the new car will have a pronounced kidney-grille with the air-intakes positioned on either side of the bumper just below the headlights.

New options for the 2012 3-series will include hybrid variants as well as the latest version of BMW’s Efficient Dynamics. The X-Drive AWD system is likely to gain favour thanks to a redesign of the system to reduce weight, which will only increase fuel consumption by 0.5L per 100km over RWD models.

Other features that may make it to production include night-vision devices, a heads-up display and radar safety systems.

預定於2012年上市的下一代全新三系列(原廠代號F35)，外觀造型元素有很大機會取材於CS Concept。

許多設計師對目前三系列的外觀頗不以為然，線條匠味太重，不夠俐落大方。這些新三電腦合成圖預告出下一代新三會有更清楚顯眼的雙腎水箱罩，保險桿下側兩邊則會有與CS Concept類似的進氣孔 。下一代新三據了解也會有BMW’s Efficient Dynamics的車款可提供給消費者選擇，四輪驅動x-Drive也會是選配之一，不過這組輕量化的x-Drive並不會增加BMW新三的車重，與後驅比較起來每公里油耗也才增加0.5公升而已。

其他可能的配備例如夜視系統，抬頭顯示器及雷達安全監測系統。
