http://www.wheels24.co.za hardly seems as if it is a reliable news source but either way

the article says "apparently on his way out the door"

It's just like Louis Vuitton, looks like crap, but sells like hotcakes...

I mean some of the regular brown colored ones are ok, but the rainbow logos stamped on white designs? Come on, you know the LV designers are laughin at everyone about how they can sell anything with their logo on it.

No. Mechanically, I'm sure it's great, but it just looks so dull. They really messed up a great car.

The new 3 is the first car other than the new 6, that actually looks good to me...

The 5 and 7, however do not look good. And personally, The last 5 series was probably the sexiest car out there, especially the M5. I have always liked the 3, and i like the new 3. And i hear rumors of a four door m3 this time around. Now that sounds tempting.
