Anybody have pics of the new M3 . . . 'cause I think I saw it in Houston, Texas. Even my wife noticed it was "different looking" and caught her eyes. "Hey, Hon, what kind of BMW is that?

First of all,
Ric: I'm sorry to hijack your thread.
I was at the BMW dealer in Turku as they had the new E92 coupe on show today. There was a 335i and a 325i.
About the 335i: I can fully agree on what RicRacing mentioned in the first post. The car was black (Perhaps Sapphire Black, wasn't my priority number one to check it out. Black it was ), with semi-leather black sports seats.
As Ric perfectly put it, "the seat, steering wheel and all felt at first sit just perfect." Damn right they did. I felt much more connected to the car than in our 5er with comfort seats, albeit I didn't drive it (yet ). The steering wheel was sturdy and I felt very confident just being in there.
The car didn't have the Navigation system, thus no I-drive screen. The automatic transmission gear lever felt much more sporty and ergonomic than the one in E60. Overall the vehicle felt very finished; only remark I have to mention is that the right hand side outside door handle could be moved a bit forwards and backwards.
What about the rear seats? Well, I was utterly surprised! I was at the dealer with my father. Us both being very tall (well over 186cm both), he sat in front and I behind him. I had all the space in the world! I was completely blown about the fact that I had enough room there to even move my feet a bit. It wasn't the kind of leg room you would get in a 5er anyway but still comfortable even for a longer journey.
I too received a fresh brochure and I will get a testdrive next week with
a 335iA. Eagerly awaiting the opportunity
Without further ado, here are the pictures, taken with Canon PowerShot G5 (sorry for not using a proper lightning)

Rear shot. I like the fact that BMW put the exhaust pipes on each side. It's a bit Audi-ish, but I like it!

Here's the interiour, ruined by Canon's integrated lightning.

Mug shot. Notice the chromed vertical kidney grille slats.
Attachment 24145
Front lights, nothing else.

Here's a Silver 325i coupe. I like the shape of that side mirror.

And finally, a rear shot of the 325i's ass. I do prefer the 335i more

Thanks Fin535dA for great pics!
The interiour in the second Fin535dA's pic is the one I'm aiming for.
No iDrive. That comes with the Nav pack.
The only thing I feel as a "fault" with the E92 is the doors "missfit" with the rear seat sealing.
Sorry no picture available...

I've driven the 335i. It is awesome!! It is so fast and the torque is amazing.

I drove the 335 and liked it so much I ordered the e90 335. The car is fast, has torque in spades, has 3 series handling and agility, and near M3 performance. I loved my 550, but it is more car than I want or need. I guess I just prefer a smaller car.
