Svelte Three | Bangkok Post: auto

FIRST DRIVE

It isn't difficult to imagine what kind of improvements BMW has made to the sixth-generation 3-series and how it would fare on the move, judging from the developments of the brand's latest cars and SUVs.

Now that the Munich gentlemen have made it clear that all BMWs should share a common look, the all-new 3-series _ codenamed F30 _ has evolved in a rather unsurprising manner from its E90 predecessor, which is among the last Bimmers to have been designed during the Bangle era.

There are now tidier lines and a more dynamic appearance to adhere with bigger brothers like the 5- and 7-series. The rear end of the Three, in particular, could easily be mistaken for that of the Five.
