Don´t worry, it´s just another bad CGI job. The real thing will be lovely.

Actually there is a BMW employee on CarSpyShots.net who goes by the alias "Scott26". he said that those Autobild renderings, including the one you saw on the previous page are pretty much the real thing.

Very very true, however Huckfeldt is right on point w/ the vast majority of his renderings, I dont know how he gets such could info to make such accurate images. Past ones he's did that were right on Q were the ones he did for the E90, E60, also the new S-class, new CL, Passat, and many many many others. The cars however are much bigger improvements over his work.

Hello all,

Not posted for a long while, but I came across this today, not sure if it's legit.

Still it gives more of an impression. Looks like the sedan bordy with three doors to me.

Here are some spy pics of the coupe without the heavy camo but tape over the lights. The grill and lights look kind of 6ish. I think the license plate space may be fake as it is rumored to be moved down into the bumper.

Completing the jigsaw .
The 3er coupe and coupe cabrio.

2006 will top and tail with the Geneva launch of the new 3er coupe codenamed E92 and the revolutionary coupe-cabrio E93 in late 2006.
To understand the philosophy of the coupe it's ideas come forward in the current 6er coupe. Understanding the success of this car BMW challenged their designers to put forward this thinking for the 3er coupe.
Originally planned to be as the BMW 4er to further fit with the 6er in segments above it's usual place . The plan was to really differentiate the car from it's core module the E90 sedan.

A look Back to the future

The understand the design of the new 3er coupe you can look at how the 6er is different or you can look back to see how the E36 coupe developed from the E36 sedan. emerging sleeker and more performance orientated .
A strong look that has transferred over to the new car with a rounded roof forming over a strong passenger cell , The rear of the car forms a kinship with the 6er coupe and the forthcoming E87 based coupe in the way that prominent BMW badge stands in the centre of the bootlid placing the number plate down in the bumper.

An idea developed for the 4er (originally) was a rear bootlid in which the rear light units were positioned on the rear bootlid , not wrapping around the rear wings. With the bootlid sharing comparison with the 6er , the idea was replaced by the same design but a more original bootlid and rear lights that wrap around the rear wings. The idea it appears was too costly for production , another idea rejected included the adoption of frameless windows like the CLK mercedes-benz. Unfortunately this hampered the overall structure and stiffness of the car again the idea was rejected.

The front features a sleeker front from the E90 sedan with smaller and more shapely headlights - again BMW's coupes forming a relationship a wider twin kidney geille is placed lower than the sedan - similar to the 6er ,
The new coupe is very low like the 6er giving the impression that this car is more performance orientated than the elegant CLK.

The coupe will of course be topped by the powerhouse M3 ( the deathknell of calling the car 4er) Other powerplants will include the forthcoming six cylinder turbo , the current six cylinder powerplants seen in the E90 .
Diesel power will feature strongly in the new Coupe especially due to the success of the E46 coupe. expect the current 2.0, 3.0 diesel and the twin turbo
335d. Lower engines are not confirmed due to the marketing of this car.

To Compare

The spy pics which show the back of the car make it look like a solara or some wierd lookin thing... cant wait til they take all that camo off

[jcslp15]

I still can't wait to see the coupe, I hope that BMW debuts the 335 if it comes to the US when the coupe launches, how awesome would it be to be one of the first to have a 335ci

[eshamas21]

335Ci not gonna happen ... i doubt that there will even be a 335i ... well at least not for now maybe sometime down the line they will maybe

Do you have a basis for this statement? Based on what we already know about the 335 there is nothing to suggest that it will not be comming in the coupe and sedan as early as next year. Right now the pack (G35 - IS 350 - ect.) is catching up and has passed the 330 in a few areas. Just imagine what a 335 with the power of todays m3 would do to the comp. BMW did somthing similar when the e46 came out when they made the 330 about as strong as the previous US M3.

[eshamas21]

Its just my opinion... and i guess well just have to wait and see

[jerrymelon]

those really confuse me.

Keep doubting, you'll be suprised...

[stressdoc]

After oggling that M6 taxi monster string I am thinking a 335i with carbon fibre, alcantara, and dark grey headliner interior, equipped with that SMG and paddle shifters has got to be the hottest possible car within the reach of mortals. Definitely my idea of a mid-life crisis mobile... Preferably in a Touring, with either the petrol or diesel 3.0 turbo. Not sure how the diesels would work with SMG -- any thoughts?

Im not saying its never gonna happen but i dont think they will introduce it this year is what i meant to say. usually u hear more about things this big. But im pretty sure it will happen sometime down the line just how the 328 became a 330 or maybe they will keep all the 330 and just add the 335... but i dunno well just have to wait and see.

[HAdi]

WOW..Coupe is nice too,,but SEDAN Is better,,bcus i am getting one lol.

Damn that looks really good, proportion-wise! They need to start removing some of that camo!
