Not sure if some one posted these already, but autospies just put up the official 3 serious coupe pics. Personally, I like the taillight design and that's about it. I don't know, something about the rear quarter of the car doesn't look right. It's proportions don't seem to match the beefiness of the front of car. I can't put my finger on it, but it just seems awkward. I'm disappointed; unlike the E46, I think the E90 sedan looks better.

maybe it'll take a in person look to appreciate the car.

seems to be the case with Bangle design.. some takes months, if not years to appreciate..

It looks...boring?

I love how the 7, 5, 6, and Z4 push the design envelope, and yet this coupe is just so conservative...dissapointing.

Perhaps with some better wheels and tint, and an upclose look, this car will look more appealing.

I don't think these are legit, look at all the crap that came out for the new 3, none of them were right until BMW released pictures, looked completely different.

I agree in that I think the E90 Sedan looks better than the Coupe....seems to have a more muscular stance than the Coupe. Maybe this E90 Coupe will be like the new VW GTI where it looks great in person, but not satisfying in pictures.

It looks official FINALLY. Now just can't wait to see the cabrio. I'm liking the overll design. glad to see LED rear lights, standard corona rings (aka angel eyes)

At e90Post people have already put down deposits for coupes due out in the fall.

Anybody else having trouble with the E90 coupe images from bmwusa.com?? I can't see them at all, it looks like they refresh, but the shots are blank. Anyway, saw some more pics on bmw international, and with a bigger five-spoke rim, it looks better, but I am still not convinced the rear portions match the front's. But like MrE said, I'll have to wait until I see it person....

Not the greatest pic, but at German Car Zone if you navigate to the BMW forums there's a pic of a camouflaged cabrio with the top down. Looks like spring 2007. Thinking about color--blue or silver/grey, wheels, maybe sport pkg and probably nav this time......anyone want a used 2004 330Ci with about 30K miles? [bmwdance]

Saw a small video about the new coupe.
Check it out on:

Later!
Wunderbar. What a great video. So funny to see the mechanical arm that brings you the seatbelt. Mercedes had that in the old 380 and 560 SEC (1983-1991) and I believe in the E320 cabrio and coupe (1990-1995).

The rear end of the E90 coupe to me looks much hotter than the front end. I think the E90 sedan actually looks better from the front (which was never the case with the E46). Great video. Thanks!!
