Quick Vid: 2012 BMW (F30) 328i Review

Autoblogger reviews the all new BMW 328i (F30). This new 3-Series replacement takes on the (F10) 5-Series' design language, which looks great from rear angles, but has a funky front end. Look for it to go on sale in the US in late Winter 2012, with sport variants following this Summer and Fall.

More familiar faces this weekend, but there is a pretty big event going on as I type; the legendary Dakar Rally in South America, to be precise. The coverage for this rally on television is pretty weak, unsurprisingly, but the new NBC Sports Network (previously Versus) will be showing some action at 5pm today. You can visit the website for the Dakar Rally here and get more interactive information and footage. This weeks flick shows Dakar Stage 4 action from last year. Enjoy the weekend.
