Undisguised rear view of 335i E92 Coupe

Steved · 02-07-2006, 06:12 AM

I wonder how 'big' it will be, since the 1 series Coupe looks similar in size to the old E30 Coupe..

deadfresh · 02-07-2006, 06:30 AM

They are loading the car into a trailer. This is most likely the car used for press photos.

Also - Tine was right. The coupe is labled 335i not 335Ci. He just created that "punked" thread to cover his ass cause BMW was hot on his trail.

That's a real, unaltered photograph, not a photoshop.

bimmer4me · 02-07-2006, 08:19 AM

If that pic is real, then does this make Tine right after all? I still think he made stuff up about SpeedFreak. WTF?? Oh well, let's just see some more real stuff about this car.

If a 1-Series Coupe ever comes I will be highly tempted to get one.

I've read BMW excpeted 1-series Coupe & Cabrio would be a massive sales hit. Especially in the US. Everyone is already thrilled at BMW. Marketing activities will be based on comparing / reffering 1-series Coupe to legendary BMW 2002 (1-series coupe will be almost exactly the same size as 2002, and it has good chances to be called 2-series). The reincarnation of the legend. A glance to the past. While X-sport (X6) will be a statement of BMW future.

That's what I've read somewhere in the net.

That is definatley real! Have seen drawn pics of it before and the tail lights are exactly the same on this one. Only thing i dont like is the exhaust, why Audi style exhaust suddenly,dont like it on the 6 series either, otherwise looks great.

KL2DC · 02-07-2006, 08:53 AM

I want to say...it looks a little like the updated 2006 E65/66 (esp with sport pkg) from a far...but in shape the lexus IS250 comes to mind. Overall, it looks awesome

Gonna hear it from the wife for sure...

She loves the 3er coupes.

Broken1 · 02-07-2006, 08:55 AM

I like it :-)

Maybe BMW got to them

...this and their alleged strong-arm google antics ....

lxapilot118 · 02-07-2006, 09:02 AM

I don't like the rear end

Bimmerista · 02-07-2006, 09:07 AM

I do like it, but the lights are Audiesque as well as the exhaust-BTW the dual exhaust is very cool; one of the things I liked about my old A4.

anthony_h · 02-07-2006, 09:19 AM

I think it's a legit pic but I do agree about the badge. I find the badge in an awkward place...

Nice to finally see what it looks like!

Very, very close to the real deal; except dual insted quad pipes, and rearlights are a bit different (a part on a boot lid is a bit different & blinker strip is thiner). And BMW logo is missing.

[/QUOTE]

things that make you go huuummmm.... So far Tine has been pretty accurate.

deadfresh · 02-07-2006, 09:49 AM

The 335i badge is legit... It had to be moved over because of the curvature of the boot.

There is no way any of us knew they where dropping the Ci designation. That was a pretty bold prediction by Tine.

No, bmw announced they were dropping the Ci designation when the 3.0L 6 Series came out in europe as the 630i instead of Ci. The 650i then followed the new way and 645Ci became the last Ci

I don't particularly care for those tailights
