These pics are amazing. To answer your question Ynotony, there is an article that says there will be a coupe, vert, and sedan m3. So who knows if it will come to US but you can continue to pray.

The E90 will be a nice car, great front, tail lights but it will be a bit bigger than the E90 and E46 coupe, its like 5-serie coupe, a real 4-serie if you see what I mean, They change the name from 4-serie to 3-serie but not the size |

So if not at Geneva, when is the release of the E92?
For a long time many people thought that the new 3 series coupe would be introduced at the Geneva auto show. It appears that it wasn't. So what major car show is now available to introduce it in?
While attending the Toronto International Auto Show a BMW rep told me that manufacturing of the car would probably begin some time in late July - August with North American delivery in very late August or September. If this schedule is right they'll want photos and initial test drives in the September issues, at the latest, of the US car mags (usually on the shelf in early August). With the longlead press dealines these mags have this means an introduction by late spring. What major international auto show is there to do this in? Or I have made a mistake in my logic? Will they just have a press junket and not even do a show? |

Well I may have just answered my own question. Car and Driver has a schedule for the major International Auto Shows. Go to http://www.caranddriver.com/autoshows/ scroll down and look at the right hand side. The only show listed between now and September is the New York show on April 12 to 23. Do you think the coupe will be there. When alse can it be shown? There is one on London England in May but it has not historically been a major show. |

Hrm... if you zoom into the rear lights (from the masked pictures) it seems as though they MAY actually be LED's! Take a close look. The texture seems as though they are anyway.

Not sure if these are chops or not, but they're in the May edition of Car and Driver. Nice.
Makes me almost want to cancel my E90 order...

Interestingly, in the article, they say that there will be 325i, 330i and 335i versions of the coupe. It would be an interesting departure from BMWs current paradigm of a entry level model and a premium version.

what bothers me is BMW's departure from thier logical naming system... the last two numbers in the name used to show the size of the engin... but the new car with the a 3L turbo apparently will be called the 335.... and yes, the e90 325 having a 3L engin bothers me too.... it would make a lot more sense if the new car was called the 330 it or something like that.... (since ti means it's a wagon) |

Actually the 325xiT is the touring version, or the E91.
