First image of the new BMW 3 Series 2012 leaked

Curiously, and yet true, leaks of images before the brand itself has given its consent are becoming increasingly common. That is to say, the pictures you see on screen were taken during a photo shoot which, unless we are mistaken, should be made public sometime around October.

I say unless we are mistaken because it would not be the first time that, once the final appearance of the model in question has been revealed, the manufacturer has been forced to bring forward its official presentation. Even so, I don’t think this will happen on this occasion, especially knowing that BMW is still producing the E90 3 Series, at least until early October.

As for the photos, as you can see, the new 3 Series saloon will once again feature a styling very similar to that of its bigger brother, the 5 Series, something that many will like, especially given the change compared with the current E90. As a curiosity, it’s worth noting that, although the rear of all the new BMW models is more or less similar, it is at the front where they present a more or less differentiated “face“.
