Which is the best E92 pic so far?

tak6 · 10-30-2005, 09:29 PM

Hi guys I'm new to the forum, currently driving an M3 and a Toyota Altezza (Lexus IS). Looking to sell both and itching for a new coupe,
so the option is down to waiting for the new Lexus IS coupe or the E92 coupe.
I've driven both Lexus and BMW so I know both worlds

But anyways to the point, please post the pics of the car that you would like the e92 to be.
I'm wondering if everybody else has the same opinion.

If this is what it will look like, I'm not having any second thought and I'll be right in front of the dealership door
It's elegant and muscular lines are perfect

the back looks almost looks like a CLS Benz...

TwinPowerF30 · 10-31-2005, 01:16 AM

is that how it'll look when it's released? when?

nm that's chopped

lux.sh · 10-31-2005, 01:19 AM

I would buy that coupe in a heartbeat. If 335 coupe is going to look that sexy, I can't imagine how nice the new M3 is going to look.

I've always liked the first pic.

theokas · 10-31-2005, 07:39 AM

No pic is as good as the first one. The recently published pics do not reach perfection

ase2dais · 10-31-2005, 08:15 AM

i like it, imagine that with a 19". wow!
...seems like it has it already.

ska///235i · 10-31-2005, 08:29 AM

LOL...so Mercedes

tak6 · 10-31-2005, 08:54 AM

see any similarity?

just the back end of the 'spy pic' looks a little more protruding,
roof line is identical, front end would not be radically different.
Only worry is the tail lights and those taped up parts 'DUH'

So fingers crossed....

e90driver · 10-31-2005, 11:54 AM

I like the first pic a lot. If that is the new coupe I will be looking to trade in my sedan when it comes out.

lux.sh · 10-31-2005, 01:08 PM

whoa good thoughts tak6. Now I look at both, the roof line and body line looks very similar.

this thread is bringing me adrenaline rush. i want to see the coupe... NOW!

greatfox · 10-31-2005, 01:19 PM

Those pics are way old. I think they've been circulating for almost a year now.

I believe this is the latest idea of how they'll look. I heard that the rear tail lights are very accurate according to a bmw source. The headlights also match spy shots. You can make your own conclusions...

e90driver · 10-31-2005, 02:44 PM

Bangle should be listening to us when we say the old pics are better. Leave it to them to change it for the worse...

tctic · 10-31-2005, 03:33 PM

The back reminds me of the 8 series.

bimmy · 10-31-2005, 03:41 PM

Second picture is just GREAT. First one looks like something is missing, and it just doesn't look like bmw. On the second one tail lights are just beautiful, they should have put those on the bmw 3 sedan too.

theokas · 10-31-2005, 05:18 PM

when i saw the first pictures a year ago i started saving money to buy it. The new pictures are a bit disappointing

Can you post in the spy pics which gave a hint on the headlights or taillights? btw anyone knows if the spy shot with the white car is the latest?

abc · 10-31-2005, 08:15 PM

i think the red ass shot is hot.

the grey front shot headlights suck... use the e90 headlights, they're good enough.

M 3Rilla · 10-31-2005, 08:26 PM

The first pic is really nice. I would trade!

greatfox · 10-31-2005, 08:26 PM

ok, so I got these pics from:

http://www.spycars-online.de.vu/

here are the good pics they have of the headlights and profile

however, the rear is still camouflaged, so I won't bother posting their pics of it. Alot of times people forget that a car is camouflaged and start bashing its styling so I'm gonna bypass that alltogether.

Autobild has an updated picture of the folding-hardtop cabrio e93. This pic should be the most accurate rendition of the coupe (if you can imagine it with a regular hardtop):

Also, of questionable reliability, is autobild's rendition of the e92 M3 which is still almost two years away. The reason I think it is a little shady is that the license plate is on the bumper and not the trunk lid like the other images and spyshots. Who knows, maybe the M3 will get different treatment in this department...

Let me know your thoughts.
