Hey everyone. New member here

I think the car looks fantastic. I'm just a little disheartened that it won't feature LED lights, as I fell in love with these on the E46 Coupe. I think whoever said it is probably right; BMW will release them in the next facelift. I suppose all pre-facelift owners will be able to swap their existing rear clusters over for the LED ones, like many have done with the E46. I wonder if BMW have made the right decision though, as apparently the Audi A5 will have LEDs. I'm not sure, but the 5-Series, 6-Series and 7-Series appear to have LEDs, or do they? The 3-Series Saloon's (sorry, Sedan

)rear lights look plain, without any actual reference to the shape of them. I hope that the E92 has a more exciting finish like the 5/6/7er. Another thing I'm not sure of is the boot part of the rear clusters. I would prefer the lights to stay off the boot altogether. And the headlights.. looking great. Does anyone remember the 3 photos we saw of the E92 in White in the snow which we thought was completely unmasked but later found out was a chop? Take a peek:

Well I love the interpretation of the headlights in this photo. They have a smoked lens and really finished off the car beautifully. I hope that BMW go for that, but bet that they won't. I like this smoked look so much that I'll probably have this modded later!

Just my thoughts

It's also coming to the end of March now and it's quite clear that everybody is getting a little fed up of the wait. Not that this will affect sales in the slightest. But it is a tad annoying now. I think it would be a terrible decision on their part to announce it now seeing as they E46 Coupe is still in production. I mean, come on, who exactly would buy the E46 after seeing the new Coupe and finding out all the new toys that will be available in it? No one IMO. Unfortunatley, if this is the thinking of BMW, we won't get official word of the new Coupe until May, or whenever the E46 Coupe officially ceases production.

So more waiting I reckon. In the meantime, I hope BMW decide to add some funk to those rear lights and give us the LEDs. Lot's of manufacturers are bringing out cars with LEDs so it's not exactly THAT much of a novelty anymore - and after having it in the E46 Coupe, isn't it a little unfair to deprive us of it now? I mean as far as I can remember we were the first to have LEDs and now we're back to normal? Stepping back isn't good

Thanks all. Keep the photos coming.
