RENDERED SPECULATION: Next-Gen BMW 3-Series, Is That You?

Although the current-generation BMW 3-Series dominates the entry-level luxury class -- in terms of sales --, BMW is gearing up for an exciting revamp of the E9x platform. For the past several months, spies have been capturing plenty of shots of the fully camouflaged vehicle undergoing testing but there has not been any defining characteristics revealed.

According to BMWBlog, this led "The rendering masters at Schulte Design," to take a crack at the next-generation design and this is what it came up with.

Obviously, these renderings are educated guesses but with that said, what would you like to see the next BMW 3-Series feature design wise? Where should BMW head? What should it leave behind? Do you think some interior concepts seen in the latest F10 5-Series or 2012 650i Convertible will make their way into the 3'er?

Next generation BMW 3-Series is due out in 2012 and the car will be unveiled later this year at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The rendering masters at Schulte Design take a chance and attempt to “draw” the lines of the next F30 3-Series.
