3 Series (E90) BMW 3er Coupe & cabrio, part 3 (unmasked pics incl.!)

[EnI]

Here you go. 335i Coupe.

Pic apparently taken in the late fall at Glasgow promo shooting.

Note the 335i - without "C". And the rearlights Tine was talking about all the time in the Part 1 & Part 2 threads.

looks very good. Now, when are official pictures coming out? I remember that we thought they were going to come out in decemeber and then it got pushed to january. Can i please just see the car already? I'm getting so tired of waiting.

Soon but not too soon. Definitely before Geneva auto shows opens.

Those rearlights look awesome. It works really well with the car, although I have to say that I had my doubts. I'll bet you it'll look that much better in real life.

Problem is:
1. So what's the 335i? Turbo?
2. No pics of the front?

 

[siko]

Hmm, picture is fussy and the angle is weird.... and I'm not sure if I like those lights. I need more pics!

One other thing I have to mention is how glad I am that the license plates is not in the rear bumper.

1. Positive. N54 engine 3.0L I6 VTT.
2. Don't know what else Autocar has. But their erlkonigs have been around Glasgow when the official E92 promo shooting was going on.

The scan is blury; the original pics in the mag are very clear. You can hope for clearer scans, buy the mag, or wait 2-3 week for official pics.

Do you know if the Coupe will get it's own set of rims?

Don't be so glad so fast. Wait for the new M3!

Sure it will some. Up to 19"

oh dear
Well I guess maybe that won't be so bad as the M3 will be a bit wider and look bigger than the regular Coupe. That was my main concern with the placement of the bumper (and the rear lights, but I guess that worked out nicely) should be reserved for bigger cars.

 

[bum-man]

Looks like the new IS in the rear.

Not sure it will work out so nice. I was not impressed. But it has to be like that due to aerodynamic reasons (and composition materials boot lid). The new M3 will be a true race car.

This is VERY accurate impression. With VERY I really mean VERY.

Front & back E92 M3 Coupe:




Rearlights are a bit wrong - apply the ones from the spy pic instead. Also expect a bit bigger BMW logo on boot lid to be positioned vertically lower: between the rearlight clusters.

 

[siko]

I think rightnow might be upset that bum-man compared it to the IS?!

 

[daani]

I totally agree whith you

 

[warot]

Although unlikely a PS, why is there only exhaust coming out of one pipe?

 

[LaArtist]

lol wtf .. thats pretty harsh and direct comments.. but whatever you like

 

[rightnow]

Although unlikely a PS, why is there only exhaust coming out of one pipe?

But it should be the left that is the real one, if so, right?

 

[LaArtist]

Yea I guess... I'm probably just over-analyzing.
