    I took spypics of new 3 series Coupe + B7 Alpina!!

    Yesterday I spotted a group of Beemers on my way to Las Veags (in my Shelby Mustang rental car...hehe).
    Among these were the new 3-series coupe and a B7 Alpina.
    Check the pics:

    Yep, have to agree with that... E46 Coupe was great, but E92 is disappointing... 3-series sedan (E90) looks much more aggresive...

    Maybe those 17" are simply too tiny for new e92 design?
    Here is the pic of 335i Coupe with Design 230 19", looks better IMO...

    Yes, this definetely looks better. But what I don't like at the new coupé is the back. Looks like a Japanese car.

    It's more than the back. I could get used to that. It's the body line. (side of the car)

    The body line is too high. It starts high and get even higher towards the rear of the car. It makes the car looks taller than it actually is.

    I could not see myself buying a BMW. It might the best coupe around for the price but it's just too fugly.

    They did make it taller.

    They also made it ugly and generic looking.

    Are they blind at the factory now?

    You're right about the side line. What happened to the once elegant and beautiful BMW design?

    I saw the car in person and it looks very good. Actually, much better in person then e90 saloon but, that's my opinion... Wheels are very important on this car and as Stefan said even 18" looks pretty small on it!
    Here is the pic of side look...

    Yep, a lot cars on pictures doesnt look well, but when you see it in person looks much better.

    When I saw Z4 Coupe on pictures it was very ugly, but when I saw it in person it looks great...

    White / light silver seems the best colour choice to me for E92..
