Here's a quick PS in black:

that's an awesome PS!

cant wait to see you guys mod this beauty~

[MUrhino]

If these are real, why the hell would BMW change the hood and kidneys of the coupe from the sedan? I've never seen that done before. Might as well be a new 4 series or a mini-6. Whatever....

I think you hit the nail on the head. It does look like a mini-6.

BMW AG wants to make a greater distinction between the coupes vs. sedans. No more "one sausage, different sizes".

They had initially wanted to call the 3-coupe the 4 series, but decided to keep the 3-series namesake because of its heritage and name-recognition, eg. M3. So now, they call it a 3xx but without the "Ci" designation.

Thanks for the link. Makes much more sense now.

It is also discussed here: http://www.autospies.com/article/ind...&categoryId=21

Re: 272hp from the normally aspirated 3L 330i, IIRC the extra hp comes from DI (direct injection). Which will probably debut in Europe first due to lower sulphur content in their fuel. North America will get the DI engines later by 2007/2008 when our fuel standard becomes free of sulphur.

[Artz 330]

can someone PS some black like style tails on that thing.

[nrgy]

Overall I like the look of the new coupe, however I'm still undecided on the tail. IMO, I think they have the rear lights reversed. If anything, those 7 style lights would look better on the sedan, with those smaller more compact jewels on the coupe. I did a quick PS with some of the current spy pics floating around of the M3 for comparison. Personally, the coupe would look perfect with the sedan's tail lights. BMW was SO CLOSE

SWEET FVCKING JESUS..... someone wanna try putting some LM's on thurr?

--i think the thin lights balance out the back a little better than e90 lights... theyre just like a clump of red floating around... the E92 lights seem to make aft of the thing look wider... and as pontiac grand prix widetrack says.... eyuh ahh ehh unah... wider is better

[Intuition]

I would say that all they had to do was make a two door out of the sedan.

Would have been sleek. This car isn't to shabby though. It looks a little more plain like an audi (don't get me wrong I like Audi) or a lexus.

One thing I still don't get though is that ridiculous line form the edge of the headlights straight down to the edge of the foglight. Seems like a mold wasn't properly sanded.

If one could replace the headlights, front bumper and hood from the sedan you may have a nice looking coupe. Oh wait then I'd have to replace the tailights and....etc etc...

Well, it is a nice car overall and has its own presence that will be a nice canvas for customizing. Not really as excited as I was when I thought it would look more like a 2 door version of the sedan.

Still, has its own merit I guess.

[ages944]

thought I would add a few quick p/s's

[Straz M3]

As someone stated before I would definately like a PS in white with some CSL's pleaaaaaaaaase....and wow the car looks AWESOME

[Robin_NL]

I'm not feeling the back end. Korean/Japanese design if you ask me.

[Catscratch]

First post, and probably a stupid one
For some reason I *really* love the E92 on the airport "spy" pictures. But on these official photo's, the E92 is just ok. Wondering how the car will look like when I see it with my own eyes.

[ozgur_ustuner]

its back looks like american cars not feeling BMW!

and its front look taken from 5 series i think! e90 is much better than

this BANGLE!!!

[BenMW]

My first real baby pics are finally out....Its nearly been a year since I have been thinking about this car. and a bunch of months have passed since I put down a deposit on the E92 so im hoping that guarantees I will be able to have one of the first in the US.

I Love It...More Photoshops please!.....Black with tinted windows. ASA AK1 wheels.

PShops are greatly appreciated to all those that have been and are thinking about doing some.
