Blah the front resembles to much like a Mitsubishi Lancer so I don't like it, the back and sides look pretty good but it DEFINITELY needs some lowering. That thing looks like it stands a foot off the ground.

You're damn right it looks like a Lancer in the front, it's those Evo-like headlamps. 255 hp. engine is good. The overall shape doesn't seem to be a great departure from E46, but the tail is pathetic.

The round headlamps were a BMW trademark, they're kind of losing it. The conservative ride height is typical of a newly introduced vehicle, lowering, and sport package add ons are inevitable.

The big news, however, is the return of turbocharging for its petrol engines. In a bid to go one better than the executive-class competition, BMW is planning to introduce a 340bhp turbocharged 3.0-litre six in a sporting 330 Ti model.

this is simple...costs
besides they apparently want to offer something different and attract a different group of customers
