The All New e90 3-Series
The all new e90 BMW 3-Series is widely expected to make its debut at the Geneva motor show in March next year (2005).
It seems to have a more conservative design with more conventional cues as compared to the latest versions of the 5-Series, the 7-Series and the new 1-Series.
Could be due to the fact BMW does not want to take a gamble on the 3-Series as it is BMW's best-selling
model?
