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

Its got messy headlights and then the rest is smooth and long. They need to put on a better front bumper and some different alloys.

I think most of us will agree that this is indeed the best looking new "flame design" BMW, strangely enough, it's not the last. Joji did a good job on this one too...

I didn't see the car enough to tell if it's the best BMW using flamesurfacing, but there is allready a bad point, the back is too long compared to the old car wich had perfect proportions for a coupe.

Good point. The character line is wayyyy too long.

Exactly! Im a newbie, whats flame design?

From this 3/4 shot the side/profile of the car looks very long, the character line too pronounced and the front door looks a little short... It's tough to tell from this pic though, so I'll wait until the official ones, BUT the one uncovered rear shot reminds me a lot of the new Lexus IS.

you choose to ignore the 7 series to make a remark like that?
It's lexus that does the copying, not the other way

concerning proportions, yes they are a little different from the old car. But I do like the car as a whole. It has presence and looks very sporty and mature. This could be the first coupé in it's class with rear seats you can actually use, that must count for something.

I disagree strongly.It remind of the facelifte 7er and its rear and a little bit of Audi A4.

the old Coupe looked to much like the Sedan with few differences. This one is a completly new car and doesnt remind much of the Sedan like the old one did. Now it looks like a real Coupe

Here is large pics of the blue one (5mb)

The 3er coupe looks like it went to the gym and got a good amount of muscle mass. It left the gym because the M3 is going to be the one that gets really muscular.

I am referring to the panels and design of the car. It is bubbly yet strong and rigid. very nice! I love that blue

Also that picture that is shown with the blue tape looks pretty insane! the blue tape actually looks good!
