Over a week ago, we launched one of the most unique and interesting projects involving the BMW community. We decided to give our readers, a chance to express their opinion on the design lines of the current BMW 3 Series sedan. Their ideas and suggestions would have formed the base of future graphic renderings which will showcase the 3 Series just the way you wanted to.
Basically, through the “Be a designer!” project, you would have the opportunity to express your opinion regarding the design shapes of a BMW production model – chosen by us- and to propose a new design and ideas which would change that particular model.
This week’s design proposal is the BMW 3 Series, the most sold BMW model in the entire history of the German automaker. When launched, the E90 BMW 3 Series has created a controversy among the BMW fans, many voices were opposing the new design lines and experiments that the former BMW designer, Chris Bangle, has incorporated into the new 3 Series. Not many know though that the E90 3 Series was actually designed by the Japanese designer, Joji Nagashima, who led the exterior design team of this model.
Well, today we have our answer to the design ideas and thanks to the hard work of rendering artist Andrei Arvavarii, who had to scan through the tens of comments to find the most common requested design elements, we are able to bring you not one, but two different versions of the current BMW 3 Series Sedan.
As you can see, one version of the front-end is a bit closer to the reality, but the second one brings out a lot of the M1 Hommage elements and it’s rather quite interesting.
Please keep in mind that these are just simple renderings based on our readers' input, so the final images are unique in their own way. This was just a community exercise and we still think the original design is simply perfect.
