The e89 was built ground up. It's the e85 platform that was 3 series based. |

The front brake duct openings are direct knock off and new brand family direction on the new (ugly) 3 and 4 series front end brake ducts. The whole front bumper looks clunky in my opinion.
I do however like the side marker indents. It beats the white blobs side markers on the 09-13 Z's. The 14 LCI side are a big improvement, which I have installed, but I would like this look even more.

Sadly, I can't say that much of what I saw or read in those two articles excites me. Both look over styled to me. And I'd clearly have to drive one to make a fair assessment, but a four cylinder just doesn't interest me. There's a lot of time before it is a reality though.

I like this rendering. I don't remember where I got this pic this week.

the body panels are mostly new but on page 40 a lot of the suspension is "common parts E87 and E90" or "modified components (developed with minimum expenditure)" And we all know the N54 + DCT are shared with E90 and other cars |

How you or I interpret the info doesn't really matter, as you pointed out. Actually I would have liked the sharing to go further and to have the 335is/1m engine cooling and the optional suspension and exhaust parts that the 3 series has had access to for some time. |
