i dont like the tail lights but everything else is just fine.

This is understated classic. As a matter of fact, the first time I’ve seen successful copycatting by VW. Their Jetta coup looks like a ringer of classic 3 design. What do they say about highest form of flattery?

Borat, I believe the highest form of flattery comes from eating beans.

saaburu1, don’t confuse flatulence with flattery, although in some cultures they are used as synonyms.

…I could be thinking of something else though. Jokes aside, I like when they show the engine cutaways. Just look at the timing chain on this mother!

These wheels remind me of the new Jag Xj’s..nice. I am not a fan of BMW styling of the past few years but this ranks up there with the A5/S5 as far as classic, clean looks. Modern without being ostentatiously so..

I don’t see much difference – but that’s not a bad thing either… The current coupe is really the best looking GT coupe on the market, save the A5/S5. We maybe at the pinnacle of good looking cars right now. Let’s hope BMW doesn’t change it too much – we don’t need another 1st gen Z4 disaster in 2 years.

there’s an a5 parked in the garage of my apt building and i always take a long look at it when i pass by…it’s a pretty wide car, but the proportions are very right…

I agree about the VW ripping this bit-o-work off. When I first saw the New Coupe Concept, the first thing I was drawn to was the “Hoffmeister Kink” (look it up). This car, though, has been the subject of my lust for quite some time. *fans self off*

This is, hands down, one of the best looking coupe in recent years from BMW. Aside from the last gen M3. But it has a soft but emotional silhouette with a bunch of attitude thrown in the design. Yes the A4/S5 is utterly gorgeous, but this is damn close to top of the tier.

clearly the update reminiscents the new 5 fascia theme. Have to see it in person to pass judgement but overall the 3 coupe has always been always light on the eyes, classic pure sports coupe

its nice………but it is much different then whats already been seen by them. kinda boring of updates.

When it comes to the M3 – I don’t know what it is, but I really love the sedan’s looks, especially in white. Still though, in regular form Iin imagination land I’d love to have this coupe in my driveway next to my imaginary Ferrari California and Testarossa.

Design downgrading…. I was expecting more aggressive look at the front end, smoother and sleeker rear end specially at the tail lights… I gotta say, quite disappointed.

now thats what we need from BMW a 3.0L inline 6 its easier to add turbos to it and of course u get alot more torque. So now BMW what we need is get that freaken V8 engine out of M3 and go back to the original M3 Inline 6 and make it 3.6 Twing Turbo now we talking…

BMW is clearly the finest high volume, full range carmaker in the world.

Ok, I only have one issues with this. The current coupe, has shift paddles that up-shift as well as down-shift on both paddles. These, however, have dedicated paddles. I like the fact that when I’m turning, I can use either one to complete the task. Change it back, or do as Nissan/Infiniti does and mount them to the steering column…

Like the new look but nothing gets me more excited than the Audi S5

The way the black front facia continues all the way across doesn’t work at all. It makes it look a LOT taller compared to the current front end that has the nose come all the way down to the bottom. No thanks.

It’s just a shame that about 1 in 100 will ever get driven past 1/10th of their potential.

Doc, wheres Lexus on this one?
SC430?
Puh-leaaaaaze
