I dont even think we know exactly when the coupe will be available!

Does any1 else think the front end is really rounded? Almost like a Z4...

Can't wait to see it in the metal - to form a real oppinion!

[Hornet]

Looks promising IMO. Hopefully the official pics will show up soon.

deadfresh coming up big again !

I think this coupe is just killer, really couldn't ask for anything more from BMW

:rocks:

can't help but noticed the mirrors are taped... could there be turn signals underneath like the benz C class?

Are thy taped, or is that the turn-signal we're seeing? I would think that if they taped them, they'd use body colored tape.

If so, I don't think I like the looks of that.

Looks GREAT otherwise.

It's just tape. You will notice day-glo tape on the mirrors of almost all spyshot cars. Must be some sort of safety regulation.

Why are the wheels different in the 3rd pic?

They are 2 different cars... look at the license plates...

[Simple1]

the third picture has me the most excited! can't wait till the North American Detroit show now, only an couple of days till that & macworld expo also, men I love new years, not to mention C.E.S(consumer electronics show) in vegas, now I know why I love the new years again. too bad I can attend any of them

[ronsil]

is it just me or is the ride height a bit too high? It seems that the gap between the wheel and the fender to be too much, actually looks like whats on the Xi model. Otherwise, can't wait to see it in person.

[ksfrogman]

Something about that side profile looked a bit too simple, a bit too old and familiar. Then I remembered the older Lexus SC400.

Pic A: e92
Pic B: SC400
Pic C: e92
Pic D: SC400

Those 2 look nothing alike... What... they both have 4 wheels

No, you didn't notice they both have door handles and side mirrors?

[rana]

Anyone want to photoshop Sedan Headlights and Taillights on those pics? Because that is what the car is going to end up looking like anyways.

[tbensous]

rana> form the spyshot above, front and rear lights will look nothing like the sedan... much more round and less angles...

[ON325i]

Just enjoy the picturues guys, we'll see the real thing "soon" enough, this is not photo hunt! haha

[deadfresh]

Looks pretty accurate to me


Look at the white parts of the tail lights. They match up perfectly. The crease along the side also blends into the tail lights as can be seen in both pics.

[Intuition]

No, the tape around the lights makes it look round. If you removed the tape you'd see the lights are like the sedan.

Even the kidney grills look a little different when you remove the top metal strips. But put em back in and you have the same kidney grills as well.

I have never seen BMW make different lights for thier 3 series between the sedan and the coupes. I know they make facelifts after a few years but I bet these lights are the same as the sedan. Don't let the tape/stucco fool you.

---edit. The tail lights look different maybe.

The lights for the e46 sedan and coupe are different. They never where the same.

[tbensous]

E46 sedan and coupe have different front and tail lights, as well as different front grill...

Coupe and sedan don't share any exterior body parts... They never did...
