Well surely they will have to come up with an alternative for the next M3, then we may be able to retrofit that to the N54

Stuff that...I'm trying to figure out how I can put a 63 AMG engine in a e92 as the current M3 has no torque for a V8. So it'll be more reliable then a N54/55 and more beastly then an M3.

Gotta love the 850, I remember when it was first announced and thinking OMG. I saw one around the corner from home last easter had a FS $30k OBO on the windscreen.

Mind you there is a sliglt slight, when you squint your eyes similarity, but I then so does the Z4.

Not feeling the F30... guess Ima move up to F10 M5 lol

That is one UGLY front end...if they make the coupe look anything like that I'll be looking elswhere...what is with the stupid lights and that gap to the grill!!

Cadillac · 10-17-2011, 12:45 AM

The navigation screen looks like an after thought...looks cheap and nasty not sure I would even consider buying another 335 coupe with that thing sticking out of trhe dash...I am ready to sell the 335i E92 Coupe for another but may need to look at something else. Was hoping for a better interior than what they have shown here.

Where's the cup-holders??? Invisible or non-existent??

In front of the gearshift; slide plastic panel forward, reveal cupholders.

Why does the new F30 look like a slightly modded E90?

..Doesn't look like much rework on the looks front!

John_01 · 10-18-2011, 12:02 AM

We should be happy that BMW haven't changed the appearance of the car too much. If they did our cars E90 series cars will start look dated and lose value too quickly.

I really think this car is aimed at a different type of customer than the current E90. I think this car has been made big and impressive looking so it will appeal to owners of C-class and E-class cars from a competing manufacturer.

True, stunningly similar actually

except for the drooping nose, glad not a drastic change!

Cadillac · 10-18-2011, 02:23 AM

Still ugly and the interior Navigation screen is a joke...what is wrong with the new 5 series interior...not a lot.

Remember this is the 4 door - the current 4 door 335i is not offered with DCT only the E92 Coupe. I am sure the replacement for the E92 will be offered with a DCT 'box and will be a bit faster than the current E92 335i.

I'm not feeling the gap between the kidney grilles and the headlights... I guess it would be less of an issue with darker colours

marklar · 10-19-2011, 04:04 AM

I think it's ugly as sin, an A4 looks nicer now. I'm keeping my E90LCI until the F30LCI and then I'll decide whether to go back to the 4 ring circus or not.
