3 Series (E90) BMW 3 series Coupe and Cabrio Unmasked Thread Cont'd Part 5!!!

Well don't forget - the cladding adds a good deal of "puff" to the car. It's as though the shape is extremely swollen. I'm holding out with my optimism on this one.

I hope you're right osna but if this is a hardtop then the trunk possible could be that long, or at least look like this.

i think the CC version looks great. As it should. I like the fact, that the line starting from the lower end of the windscreen and continues to the back of the car, the trunk, is a straight line.

 

[NarutoRamen]

I know it's straight...but I love curves

no, no. that straight line is what i love in convertibles. every conv. with a straight line is most likely to be appealing to me. others simply don't...

This is a terrific car.

 

[Alx]

Really nice, and the nose looks very agressive.... A very stylish and vivid design.

 

[Giannis]

We seem to have a bunch of pictures of the next M3 coupe but what about the sedan? I feel like the coupe is a lot closer to being finished than the sedan. Perhaps BMW isn't building a sedan M3, they were just using 3 series sedans to test parts for the M3 coupe.

I was said E92 M3 will debut before E90 M3.
Sedan is to come out sometimes along with E90 facelift.

BMW have announced that the last production for M3 E46 will be May

True. The E46 production ends in May. Then after the re-tooling the official E92 production starts in June.

And the E92 will be announced this month - just before E46 production ends.

And the E92 will be announced this month

wow really!?!?!?

 

[EnI]

wow really!?!?!?

Really.

Initially the E92 was planned for Geneva showing (and PR in Jan or Feb), FL Z4 Roadster for Los angeles, Z4 Coupe for Detriot. But the marketing dept. changed the schedule: showing Z4 Roadster in Detriot, Z4 coupe in Geneva - so E92 had to wait. Z4 Coupe is more important to promote right now. Btw, the 2006 allocations are allready sold in 9 countries.

Also E46 is still selling well in Europe (especially 320cd & 330cd in UK) - so BMW are delaying the E92 PR.

Z4 Coupe will have its N.A. debute in NY next week - after that E92 PR is finally scheduled.

I don't know the date, but my guess will be 18th or 25th April - IMO.

BMW UK are trying to get E92 for London show - for world premiere, but no decision yet. E92 was shown off-stage in Leipzig - just like in Geneva. My guess is NYIAS will also get E92 for off-stage VIP showing.

No M3 sedan is confirmed according to my info from the dealer meeting in hawaii. Also 1er is coming to the u.s. in coupe form and will recieve the 3 litre turbo....(cant wait!)

Exactly my first thought too. Makes me think back to the flared wheel arches of the Z9 concept. Looks damn awesome!!

Can someone please verify the size of the front wheels.. are they 17" or 18" ? ..coz there is still a hell of a lot of room under that front wheel arch ?

That is quite a long time to wait.
