Not bad, but if the tail lights are the same as the sedan, then I'm still not going to like it too much . . .

I'm glad the coupe looks very little like the sedan. This is very promising to say the least.

I wish there were pictures that did not cover up the tail lights, but over all this is nice. Both my wife and I actually like the E90 sedan, so the coupe should only be that much better. We went to Lexus on 12/31 to compare the IS350 and GS300. I ruled out the IS350 the day I checked it out about a month earlier, but I was surprised my wife also ruled it out very quickly. The GS300/430 we checked out in anticipation of the upcoming GS350. Now, our short list after we sell the RX330 is the BMW 330i, the new GS350 whenever it comes out, and the Mercedes C350. If I can convince her to get a coupe hopefully we can jump into a 330i coupe (or whater number it will be called when it comes out).

Here is a photoshop someone did with the actual spy pics and tail lights of a concept drawing from a magazine. Before this photoshop the concept picture looks extremely close to the actual spy pics, so hopefully that is a same bet that these tail lights will look like this or very close. Notice even the crease in the tail lights match the crease in the body just like it did on the concept drwaing. Anyway, if the E92 coupe turns out like this I just found my new coupe

Default BMW 335ci with turbo is coming this summer!!

BMW has introduced its new 3 series E90 sedan. This means that the 3 series coupe will be redesgined too!! Now, here is the big news. The top of version the new coupe, conamed E93, WILL be a 335ci turbocharged!!!! This information is absolutely correct, so don't skeptical!! The production starts in JUNE, 2006. Later, there will be a 335i sedan. It is said to have about 310 horsepower. However, this spec. is for the european version. Because of the emission law in the U.S., the U.S. version will little different in spec. When the 335ci/335i is revealed, it will be a very strong competitor in performance. However, in luxurious aspect, Lexus IS is definitely superior!!!

If the turbo motor does indeed have near 300HP the aftermarket performance potential of this car could be insane. This could be Audi S4 competiion. This too me is good news.

Well this is good news, though not technologically advanced. The IS 350 basically makes this power NORMALLY ASPIRATED. And I am sure the IS will keep the fuel economy edge.

BMW has said for sometime, it will have to offer F/I to stay competative, as HP in cars continues to climb.
