With its official unveiling only weeks away, BMW has been a little less vigilant about hiding its new 3-Series coupe from spy photographers. This latest round of photos shows the new coupe in silver, with only minimal camouflage. We get a a good idea of how the front of the car looks, with its revised grille, headlights, and front fascia. Recently, we brought you a photo of the back of the new coupe, sans any disguise. See the new images after the jump…

I wonder if they fixed the ugly dashboard, and added a spare tire. And moved the window switches back on the center console.

The interior will be about the same as the sedan, doofus. The coupe won’t get a TOTALLY new dash, window switches, and non-run flats….

Amazing how that tape obscures the real shape of the car. Removing the Hofmeister kink really takes away a lot of BMW’s identity. The rear light tape also gives it a much boxier feel.

Hmm, I’ll wait for a 1/2 series coupe. Just not feeling the E92. Might eventually warm up to the exterior styling – but the interior (dash/cluster) on the new 3 series is horrible imho. In the meantime, I’m hoping that BMW offers some incentives on 06 E46’s once the E92 is officially announced. I’d like to get a good deal on an 06 330ci ZHP and then get an M2, or a 130i M in a few years… I still love my 01 325ci though!

What’s with the huge, flat rear-quarter panel? It makes it look like a Civic or something.

I was thinking the rear quarter looked like a Jetta/Passat.
