I like it. The sill is a little odd and I still don't like the twin pipes in the rear but a new rear apron/bumper with diffuser could fix that up.

Some key points on the new 3er coupe.


335i
0-60 5.3s Manual & 5.5s for STEP

300HP/300ft-lb torque

STEP has paddle shifter!!!!

STEP shifts faster than any previous version

All gas engines have oil temp gauge vice the MPG gauge.

Have a seat belt assist that "hand" the belt to you after you sit in seat (must have listen to us 6er owners in this regard).

Good info on BMWUSA site and configurator should be available on 24 April.

Those 197 (18") wheels are growing on me. They look pretty sharp.

Front looks like a 5
Side looks like a 6
Rear looks like a 7

The larger wheels really make a difference.

WOW! I love it. E92 is definitely a step up design-wise from the E90. Compare with the E60 I love the sleeker side profile and the shorter rear overhang, but I do miss the 'flair' of the E60 headlights.

Damnit I still gotta choose between the Z4 coupe or this...

I don't get why the 335i is nearly 100lb heavier than my 530i though ... the turbocharger shouldn't be that heavy and it has a smaller chassis!

The 3 series needs a diet. Look at the weight of the regular 330i sedan.
