BMW has officially unveiled the new 2007 BMW 335i and 328i coupes, which arrive in U.S. showrooms this September. The 335 has a new 300 horsepower inline six-cylinder with twin-turbochargers, high-precision fuel injection, and an all-aluminum crankcase, pushing the car to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. The 335i Coupe will be joined in the U.S. by the 230 horsepower 328i Coupe, which hits 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. In addition to the standard six-speed manual, both models will be offered with an available six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. The 2007 3-Series coupe also includes the option of xDrive all-wheel drive for the first time ever in a BMW coupe. It will be available this fall in the 328xi Coupe. Adaptive Xenon headlights and Horizontal LED taillights are standard equipment. Details and image gallery after the jump… 

Engines

The new BMW 3 Series Coupe will arrive in the U.S. with a choice of two six-cylinder engines including the world’s first inline six with twin turbos, high precision fuel injection, and an all-aluminum crankcase. It is the most powerful engine within BMW’s wide range of inline six driving machines that does not wear an “M” badge. This brand-new version develops maximum output of 300 hp in US-spec from 3.0 liters and generates peak torque of 300 lb-ft for powerful acceleration in any situation.
  Featuring high-precision fuel injection, the engine boasts a highly sophisticated and advanced direct fuel injection system. In true BMW fashion this results in outstanding performance combined with a significant reduction of fuel consumption.
  A further advantage of turbocharging is that this is the most economical option to boost engine power and performance. For example, the turbocharged inline six weighs approximately 150 lbs less than an equally powerful eight-cylinder displacing 4.0 liters. And this lower weight means a significant advantage not only in fuel economy, but also in balancing the weight distribution of the overall car.
  Featuring two turbochargers each supplying compressed air to three cylinders, the new turbocharged engine offers a new standard of spontaneity and responsiveness. Peak torque of 300 lb-ft comes smoothly and without delay, extending over a wide speed range from 1,400 – 5,000 rpm.
  On the road, this power and torque result in outstanding performance. The 335i Coupe accelerates from 0 – 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds. This sense of urgency continues all the way to the electronically-limited top speed of 150 mph, when equipped with sport package.
  This extremely efficient increase in power and performance is attributable in large part to gasoline direct injection. The high-precision fuel injection concept developed by BMW ensures a measurable advantage in fuel economy, without limiting the dynamic qualities of the engine.
  To enhance this efficiency to an even higher level, the turbochargers are made of a particularly heat-resistant material which makes them immune to high exhaust gas temperatures in the interest of a fuel-efficient combustion process particularly under full load. As a result, the twin turbo technology in the BMW 335i Coupe represents a significant achievement in terms of both performance and fuel economy. The advantages over a conventional turbocharged engine are not only clearly measurable, but also easy to feel on the road.
  BMW’s new twin-turbo inline six is making its debut in the new 335i Coupe. One cannot overlook the new 328i Coupe with its normally-aspirated inline six-cylinder engine. This is the latest model to take advantage of BMW’s weight-saving blend of magnesium and aluminum for the crankcase. The cylinder head cover and the bedplate are also made of aluminum. Fully variable Valvetronic valve management, an electric coolant pump and a fully controlled oil pump are features which serve to enhance the 328i Coupe’s efficiency and responsiveness.
  The new engine in the 328i Coupe offers 230 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque. With 0 – 60 mph acceleration in just 6.2 seconds, this new “entry-level” Coupe is quicker than the previous top-of-the-line 330Ci Coupe.
  Both models come standard with a six-speed manual gearbox for the pure driving enthusiast. For those who prefer an automatic a six-speed Steptronic automatic is available. When ordered with the available sport package on the 335i Coupe, steering wheel mounted shift paddles are included, maximizing the sporting potential of the automatic.
  The new six-speed Steptronic automatic uses an innovative torque converter and enhanced management software to improve shifting responsiveness. The response time of the automatic transmission on the new BMW 3 Series Coupe is down by approximately 40 per cent compared with a conventional automatic transmission. While fast, responsive gear changes can make driving more fun, the optimized selection of the appropriate gear for all driving conditions helps to reduce fuel consumption. This new automatic is a textbook example of BMW’s pursuit of Efficient Dynamics.
  Chassis and suspension
  Traditional rear-wheel drive and a near 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution give the new BMW 3 Series Coupe ideal qualities for optimum driving dynamics. This, in combination with the high-tech suspension, enables the driver to convert the power and performance of the engine into an exhilarating driving experience. Boasting a double-pivot front suspension with spring struts made almost entirely of aluminum in combination with a five-link suspension at the rear, the new BMW 3 Series Coupe has the most advanced and sophisticated suspension in its class.
  Reinforcement and support elements on the underfloor of the car serve to optimize the stiffness of the chassis which enables the suspension to work with the highest possible degree of precision. Interacting with the low centre of gravity and the specific set-up of the shock absorbers, the chassis and suspension work in perfect balance.
  BMW’s rack-and-pinion steering has been widely praised for its precision and feedback and the steering in the new 3 Series Coupe is no exception. For the ultimate balance between agility at lower speeds and stability at higher speeds, BMW’s innovative Active Steering will be available. By adjusting the steering ratio, steering angle and power assistance to the speed of the car, Active Steering enables the driver to maneuver the 3 Series Coupe with minimum effort when parking and keep the car precisely on track at higher speeds.
  The high-performance brake system requires 17-inch wheels to match the larger diameter of the brake discs which ensure outstanding stopping power and deceleration. Brake performance is further enhanced by BMW’s latest Dynamic Stability Control. Introduced on the 3 Series Sedan, BMW’s latest DSC incorporates several new functions. For example, DSC works to counteract the slightest brake fading effect even at extremely high brake temperatures by increasing brake pressure accordingly. This ensures maximum brake power even under the toughest conditions, without requiring the driver to exert any higher pressure.
  Brake Standby positions the brakes closer to the discs after sudden lift off of the accelerator pedal to further reduce stopping distances in an emergency. Dry Braking, in turn, optimizes brake performance in the wet by using the brake pads to periodically dry the brake discs. Dynamic Brake Control automatically maximizes brake pressure whenever required in an emergency stop. Start-Off Assistant briefly holds the car when setting off on an uphill grade.
  In a 3 Series Coupe equipped with Active Steering, DSC helps keep the car stable and under control when applying the brakes on surfaces varying in their frictional coefficient. DSC corrects the steering quickly and precisely for optimum control.
  Dynamic Traction Control is another feature of DSC. Activation of DTC raises the threshold for intervention by the brakes, enabling the driver of a BMW 3 Series Coupe to set off smoothly on low friction surfaces such as snow. A benefit of DTC for the enthusiast is that it allows slight, easily controllable slip on the drive wheels even on a dry surface.
  Of course, as in all BMWs, the driver also has the option to completely deactivate DSC in the new 3 Series Coupe.
  BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system will be available as an alternative to rear-wheel drive for those who need an extra measure of traction with BMW responsiveness. Acknowledged as the most sophisticated and responsive of all-wheel drive systems, BMW xDrive allows the new 3 Series Coupe driver to enjoy the ultimate driving experience in all types of weather and driving. xDrive not only distributes power to each of the four wheels as road conditions require, it partners with DSC to play an active role in helping to stabilize the vehicle at the onset of oversteer or understeer. It will be available this fall in the 328xi Coupe.
  The new BMW 3 Series Coupe comes standard with runflat tires for both models. Featuring the most advanced failsafe running qualities, these tires allow the driver to continue for up to 150 miles even under complete loss of pressure. The standard Tire Pressure Monitor gives plenty of warning and alerts the driver when the pressure of any tire falls 30 percent below the ideal level.
  Ultra-modern body structure

 The new BMW 3 Series Coupe is light, strong and stable at once. Its structure is tailored to improve agility, safety and comfort while also contributing to overall vehicle efficiency.
  Low vehicle weight and a high standard of torsional body stiffness is also crucial to the car’s agility. In the event of a collision, the use of high-strength steel in critical areas, together with the exactly defined deformation zones, ensures effective absorption and, respectively, transfer of forces acting on the body of the car.
  Reinforced B-pillars are a particularly impressive example of the high standard of development and excellence in design that the new BMW 3 Series Coupe has achieved, with a tubular structure throughout the B-pillars featured for the first time for added strength. This tubular reinforcement is made of ultra-strong steel in a warm-molding process and is heat-treated for top quality while still in the mold. The reinforcement tube is variably contoured in its cross-section, exactly matching the space available. Together with the crash box tailored to the loads, which act on the body, this ensures maximum safety.
  The choice of materials and the arrangement of components at other points on the body also serve to optimize crash safety. The various properties of different types of steel and other materials are used to best effect. The space available for deformation on the new BMW 3 Series Coupe is used to minimize even the slightest impairment of the passenger cell. In a head-on collision, for example, dynamic deformation areas at the front keep impact energy away from the bulkhead and, accordingly, from the car’s footwells. In the event of a side-impact collision, the specially designed floor assembly ensures controlled transfer of forces acting on the car to the opposite side of the body.
  The bulkhead support is made of innovative multi-phase steel offering outstanding strength and stability even on thin-gauge panels. Efficient interaction of the doors, the reinforced b-pillars, the seat structure and the instrument panel between the A-pillars serves likewise to maximize the strength of the side structure. The consequences of a collision from the rear are minimized by longitudinal carrier bars, a wide range of reinforcement elements, as well as the extra-strong luggage compartment floor panel, rear panel and side walls. Stable pillars and crossbars also help protect the passenger area in a rollover.
  Naturally, BMW’s safety engineers sought from the start to fully maintain the passenger cell as a safe environment even in the most severe crash impact. Centrally masterminded restraint and support systems within the passenger compartment ensure individual occupant safety tailored for any contingency. The frontal, hip, side airbags along with curtain-type Head Protection System, belt latch tensioners and belt force limiters are activated by sensor-controlled electronic safety systems as a function of the type and severity of a collision. With its robust body enhanced by a wide range of active and passive safety features, the new BMW 3 Series Coupe meets all requirements for optimum results in all crash tests.
  With active driving calling for optimum visibility at night, the new BMW 3 Series Coupe comes standard in the U.S. with xenon adaptive headlights. Light rods in the rear light clusters stand out distinctly for a significant improvement of safety in the dark.
  Whether in the dark or during the day, two-stage adaptive brake lights make an important contribution in enabling following drivers to recognize a dangerous situation well in advance. Whenever the driver applies the brakes particularly hard, and when the ABS function is activated, light intensity in the two-stage taillights is increased accordingly, prompting drivers following from behind to brake harder, too.
  Standard and optional equipment
  The list of comfort features boasted as standard equipment in the new BMW 3 Series Coupe is just as long and impressive as the list of safety elements. Particularly in the area of top-quality audio, navigation and telematic solutions, BMW offers optional high-tech concepts originally developed for the most outstanding luxury performance cars.
  Here again, the focus is on the actual driving experience. The seating position at the rear is lower than in the Sedan, for example, gives the car’s occupants optimum headroom despite the low roof line of the Coupe. At the same time not only the driver and front passenger, but also the rear passengers will immediately feel and enjoy excellent side support.
  The door handle trim, gearshift lever cover and vent grille adjusters, as well as the decorative trim in the leather sports steering wheel all come in Pearl Gray chrome surface finish developed exclusively for the new BMW 3 Series Coupe. The starter button is also finished in this material.
   Through its design and configuration, the cockpit emphasizes the sporting and driver-oriented character of BMW’s new Coupe. Taking a seat behind the wheel, the driver will immediately focus on a newly designed instrument cluster which includes an oil temperature gauge positioned below the tachometer.
  Buckling up in the new BMW 3 Series Coupe, both the driver and front passenger benefit from the newly developed belt feeder arm: The seat belt integrated in the B-pillar, moved back in typical coupe fashion, is automatically “delivered” to the driver and front passenger once they close the door and once the key has been inserted into the ignition slot. Connected to the seat occupancy detector, the passenger-side belt feeder arm is only activated when the front passenger has actually taken a seat. With the belt delivery unit housed conveniently within the side panels, this new system does not impair the elegant look of the interior.
  Access to the two seats at the rear has been made even easier. The lever for releasing the seat position is fitted in perfect ergonomic arrangement at the top on the outside of the backrest.
  The new BMW 3 Series Coupe was conceived from the start as a four-seater. Comfort for rear seat passengers is further enhanced by the center console which includes individual storage boxes with a cover on top, additional air outlet vents and footwell lights.

272 horsepower out of a 3 liter. Thats pretty impressive

04/18, 2:38 PM

i dont think they are real. I agree with tony, no way can the new 3 series coupe be that long lol, looking at the last two pics, the door and windows are different in each pic. Unless these have been scaled down wrongly, yep they ARE fake.

04/18, 2:40 PM

wait so the 330i coupe will get 272 hp, does that mean the 330i sedan will also get 272hp? and those pics are awful…i knew bmw couldnt better the e46 look.

04/18, 2:49 PM

They could have AND should have, look how long they have been testing this car, damn it I was expecting better lol, i like the front end coz it lookz kinda nice. but the side is too long and the back should have been more original instead of 7 series taillights. Yup the E46 is beautiful and hard to beat.

btw i noticed that the pics we seen the other day at the airport the license plate on the car was
“M NZ 4380″ and these pics the plate is “M MZ 4370″ probly doesnt mean anything coz even if they are fake someone could have tried to be smart about it lol.

04/18, 2:52 PM

I’m not too sure if the sedan will also get 272bhp but if it doesnt i’m sure it wont be much less

Those pictures look real, BUT when you compare them to the spyshots, they are disproportioned… the car appears to be stretched out, when in reality it shouldn’t be.

Look how w i d e the grill looks in these pictures, when we’ve already seen that they will be the same width as those on the sedan.

The images have been resized to 800 px wide. Only 600 was available at this time. That’s why they’re grainy.

The rear quarter panel is way too busy and the front foglights could’ve been integrated better, but overall it looks much better than the 330i sedan. I’d buy one if I hadn’t just bought two new cars. Bring on the E92 M3!

04/18, 4:28 PM

i dunno.. the rest of the car doesn’t look as grainy.. oh well. if that IS the real car i’m a bit disappointed.. but eh never been a big fan of BMW’s (except the m5 in M mode heh)

Awesome front end, but then again we’ve known what it was going to look like for quite some time now… The bigger news is the possibility (?) of the higher-output 3.0 NA. If it gets bumped to 272 (DIN) that’s about 265 (SAE), which I’m assuming is the case here. If I’m not mistaken the 306 (DIN) will end up being a round 300 (SAE). Correct me if i’m wrong. Can’t wait to see the “M”.

I gotta say I thought it looked ugly at first. Then I went to E90post to look at more pics and for whatever reason I loved it. If the pics are legit I wish they showed it in a better color and with better wheels. But in anycase it only wets my appetite for new M3.

JohnnyBlazE

As 3 litre, 272bhp is expected…

Ford Mondeo ST220 is 220bhp stock, from a 3 litre V6, but people have got 297bhp without resorting to other forms of aspiration… So 272 isn’t too off the mark, especially considering BMW leave little room for power expansion.

If you want to know how well the Ford 3 litre can do, see the Noble M15 – same engine.

The thing that kills me is that BMW coupes are always pricier than the sedans, and right now the sedans are waaay overpriced. Coming in 2009 – a one-door 360xi for $99,000.

Check out bmwusa.com, they have the definitive pics. Kind of sucks that you can’t get the full 3 liter that the sedan has, but I guess that is too close to the twin turbo. I think this is one of the best Bangle BMW’s to date.

328i badge is just stupid, this seperation of coupes and sedans is just goin to confuse the average buyer and make for more e-arguments on bimmer forums…

04/21, 1:47 PM

The sedan will follow suit next year. There will be a 328i and a 335i in 2007. There will no longer be a 325i and 330i. BMW did the same thing with the e46. For the first two years of production, they were the 323i and 328i and then in 2001 they became the 325i and 330i respectively with the introduction of the coupe that same year. So basically this means we will get a 300 hp 3 liter inline 6 turbo engine for about the same price as the 330i last year. I guess those that had to be the first ones with the e90 are kicking themselves now…

fake if that makes u happier, i think its a good effort…when they have the M Sport kit on it!

04/21, 3:48 PM

Jackass, they are probably as fake as your mommas saggy breasts… if they are photoshopped they are extremely well done (which i doubt) and of a standard much higher than magazine render/images. if u compare the profile of the E46 against the E92 profile above i think u will find its not out of proportion at all and say for example u look at the new 6 official pics dont u think its out of proportion at angles even though its been relaeased for a while now? i for one think they are real (flame me all you want, wud like sum1 to prove me wrong pls)

04/21, 4:26 PM

I think it looks great. However, those pics look like the standard non-sport versions of the 3 series: note the chrome strip lining around the windows/pillars. The sport versions should look really aggressive with shadow-line trim and larger wheels (== no wheel well gap).

04/21, 4:30 PM

Guys? I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but look at the interior shots: iDrive is standard (I think)! Also, why no 330i coupe?

04/21, 5:38 PM

^ Did you read the article? the 330i’s going to be fazed out in favor of the Turbo 3.0 335i. Why do you assume iDrive is standard? And if it was, I’d be happy, I should start an iDrive lover’s club.

04/21, 7:18 PM

No, I only glanced at the article. As for iDrive, go to bmwusa.com and look at the preview they have. One of the photos there shows an interior without navigation, and the iDrive control knob is clearly visible!

04/21, 8:56 PM

Who CARES why there is no 330i Coupe?

The 328i is JUST as fast, lol. 0-60 in 6.2 seconds, according to BMW, and I guarantee that they’re passing around that number for marketing reasons…

I can already hear the complaints about how some lowly 328i has a faster 0-60 time than a 330i.

Puleaze, Donald (Agent 001) – No goddamn BMW is taking any styling “cues” from a Lexus. Go back to your ****ty website.

04/23, 12:43 PM

Redwood

I agree, no way did BMW take styling cues. Hello? Lexus latest models, BMW’s latest S-class, and other cars are taking styling cues from BMW! Not only is it painfully obvious, but there have been newspaper articles about it. Now which company executed that style better is up for debate.

As for the coupe, I like the tail lights better than the E90 sedan’s. I just hope they aren’t going to make the 3.0L turbo a coupe only engine. Those of us that need a bit of practicality like performance too! A new performance package sedan with that engine would be sweet. I hear there will be an E90 M3, so maybe they already know.

04/23, 2:34 PM

Puleaze, SR(the asshole)-look at the headlights, take two pics and compare it.

AND Redwood BMW does not have an S-Class

Iceman

The pics are real people, look at BMW’s official website to confirm them. Also, Car and Driver Magazine is carrying many of these pics as well as being the Offical BMW 3-series coupe photos. No 325 or 330 so stop asking about that. There will be a 325i, a 325xi, and a 335i. The 325i and the 325xi will both be 230 hp and the 335i twin-turbo charged inline 6 will be 305 hp. It’s all on BMW’s website in their press release, no news yet on the hardtop vert as they are probably working out some more bugs. Also dealers will be recieving these coupe models for sale in September, but some dealers are taking orders now.

lessee…. 300 hp, 300 lbft, twin turbo 3.0L 6-cylinder engine, awd, probably useless backseat, styling that thrills a few and scares a bunch of others…right around ~44 grand? is this 1994 or 2006, because I’m pretty sure I just described a dodge stealth R/T turbo and not a dang bmw 3 series. so much for progress… yikes.

this car looks fantastic. whatever styling turned me off in the 330i has been “modified” to look just incredible in the coupe model. i dont know why, but the car seems to have a little 6 series on the outside, and looks alot…well hotter than than the 330i. i live in Boston, so i would go with the 328xi to handle harsh weather, and if it can do 0-60 in the claimed time and get between 20-25 mpg in the city (which it probably will thanks to the valvetronic system), im sold. But dont forget, there are gonna be alot of 2005 330ci’s and 325ci’s on dealer lots that you can get for great deals now that the new coupe is coming out. A buddy of mine in Boston picked up a new 05′, near 0 miles 325ci for 9k under the sticker, and once september comes around, you can haggle for a lot better reductions. and for all those audi and japanses car fans out there, although i admit those cars have better navi and technology, BMW is the most amazing car to drive without question. test drive any BMW 3 series and take an on ramp at really high speed, its better than sex (cant say that about any lexus, infiniti or audi ive driven) believe it or not, the only car that was as much fun to drive as the 3 series, is in my eyes the lexus IS 300. just calling them as i see and feel them.

how much will the bmw 335i/325i coupe cost(roughly)?

04/27, 4:52 PM

Why is the front of the car fitted with some kind of camera below the license plate? (The darker colored car)

Looks too plain. 335i twin turbo … common it needs a aggressive look. No one can tell this apart from other BMWs.

yo, this car is the sickest of the 3 series. accleration is sick, handling is sick and it has the BMW handsom look…..this car is crazy:D

It is so sad to see BMW going down hill producing ugly new cars these recent years. The company has lost track of its traditional customers. I will have to look for an alternative next time when I need a new car. The Audi A3 looks mighty good.

I’ve owned a 74 2002, a 88 325i, and a 95 M3. These are probably my last BMWs if the current design theme persists from the design department…

Has anyone heard rumor of the base price for the E92? Thanks – d

05/07, 11:49 PM

Well, I hope you all now believe that the pics are definitely real. (Yes, I know I’m about the fiftieth person to say this, but it looks like some people here need some convincing.) Go to BMW’s official website, and let’s stop debating what’s already been established. Personally, I absolutely love this car. I’ve always been a huge BMW fan. The rear end looks slightly… well… awkward and a little boring and un-BMWish, but I’m sure it’ll grow on me, and I’m sure it looks much better in person, knowing BMW. The rest of the car is amazing. The front end is in no way boring. It’s a perfect blend of heritage with modernism, and I’m sure it will fly out of dealerships as soon as it is released. I’m lucky enough to have been promised a BMW as a high-school graduation gift. This is the one.

I am deciding between the new Infiniti G35 and this. I currently have an 01 330Ci. I don’t particularly like the look of this – consider that I have had this basic design for 6 years now. The service people suck at BMW. But they do have top notch engineers.

It will come down to the test drive – that’s for sure.

You should wait for the diesel versions.
Maybe BMW will rolout a 335d with 272HP and more than 500NM of torque and still having a nice 35/40mpg. Once you try these diesels gas cars feels underpowered.

the rear area behind the door and the door edge have a disturbing proportion to it, I sure hope this isn’t the final version…

the hell? interested in our product? wtf are you talking about (james whateverthehell) – anyway, I like the E46 a whole lot better than this one, and to be quite honest I hate the back, the sides are getting wider every generation and the back is turning into a lexus makeover

06/30, 2:05 PM

luxuryblah

BMW’s look good and perform well. But considering their lack of reliability, they are not a great value. But then neither are any of the models from Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, etc. In summary, all of the popular luxury and near-luxury makes/models are quite disappointing relative to the initial purchase price, along with maintenance and repair costs. In the end, the car game is more about marketing hype than about producing a truly great product.

07/03, 5:01 AM

I think that anyone whos owned or driven an e36 or previous, can say that BMW has come a long way in design and function. I own an ‘01 330ci prem/sport package, and its a great car. It has it’s share of problems, its not the fastest thing, or the hottest thing anymore…but its still a BMW. I dont exactly love the look of the new e90 series BMWs, but I do think that BMW has “set the bar” for other manufacturers. With the new 3 series winning world car of the year 2006…its hard to argue that for the price, the e90 functions well and looks decent. It bothers me to hear BMWs referred to as inferior to Lexus or Mercedes…

Plus…BMWs are meant to be driven…its not about a fashion statement. It never was! Its the Ultimate Driving Machine.

07/06, 11:58 AM

too luxurious for my blood. the interior is very similar to the 7 series. compare this to the interior of the 46 coupe, its like bentley vs honda

07/06, 1:31 PM

adam

I’m a bit underwhelmed with the specs…

One of my friends has ‘91 Nissan 300ZX TT. Its 3-liter twin-turbo V6 makes 300hp and 293 lb/ft. Seems like BMW would be able to do little better 15 years later.

07/06, 2:37 PM

Primecut

That car is like a boat. It doesn’t look sporty or agile at all, so I think this design fails BMW’s image. It’s a shame that car makers feel like they have to make them bigger just so consumers have a visible but vain sense that the car is also better. This car is so big that if you told me this is the new 6 series I’d believe it.

We saw two of the new BMW 328i coupes in trail on the 405 in SoCal today, one in slate and one silver. They stand out on the road as classic low slung sports cars, no mistaking them for a Civic, Infinity, Scion, Buick, MB, Acura etc. Wait till you see one on the road or the race track before you think this is just another BMW slab sided sedan….

07/27, 7:16 PM

al

As much as i hate to say this i have to admit that i like the current 3 series sedan a lot more than this new coupe. also like the older generation 3 series coupe a lot lot more than this one. if the M3 looks like this coupe does i dont know who is going to buy one. I used to think BMW designed pretty good looking cars but they look uglier the newer they get. This coupe really just looks like any other car you see in the street. VERY VERY SAD. BMW has disappointed me for the first time.

This car’s pretty good… the front looks awesome but the rear headlights look a little “undone”

07/29, 3:59 PM

Paul, I’m sorry. I neglected to mention that I’ve earned enough merit scholarships to pay for a full ride to MIT, which is why I’ve been promised the bimmer. (Much cheaper than tuition, you know.)

07/30, 1:25 AM

COLE TRIDER

Im going to order one because I think this car is sick and makes much more a statement than previous models, and the engine is a lot different because my sister has a the 06 four door and its great. For all of you who need to know here is the pricing for the 07 coupes (from a BMW dealership who emailed them to me):

328i: $35,300 M.S.R.P.

335i: $40,600 M.S.R.P

*note- these prices dont mean anything because you won’t be able to get a good one out of the door for $40k, good luck…

07/30, 2:49 PM

skinny tommy

The tail lights for the 335 are better than the slanty tops of the previous 330. I couldn’t look at BMW over the last few years because of the lousy back end. The new sides looked toned down also – less amphibious. Front has always been great. I just put my money down on a September production and the car arrives mid-October. $43k with sport and premium.

I have a friend who works for BMW of San Diego and has a 2006 325i witch is the last of the E46 design. I’m going to tell him to park it with its 10,500 miles on it for a few years until we see if this E92 design works out for BMW if not, Ebay anyone? After all the E46 is the pinnacle of design,and a cash cow for BMW and has been for the past few years. It would have been interesting to see if they would have kept the E46 design for at least another year or two with the new interior design and the new twin turbo engine and everyone could be anble to own what is basically a base M3 for for about $40,000. Hope it works out BMW, not just for you but for the possible millions of loyal E46 lovers that would have sold their models of two years ago and made the the upgrade probrably without question. Instead they are relying on a bold design move on what already is turning into a heated E design debate!!!

I’ve only got two complaints about my drive in the 335i, i’d noticed it has a bad dendancy to smoke the inside tires when you try and take off right after a corner… didn’t get a lot of time to play around, but needed some kind of limited slip in the rear.
