335i Coupe Face Lift when?

DVDA · 06-28-2009, 12:07 AM

Anyone know when BMW plans to release photos or info regarding the design changes of 2010 335i?

Out of pure speculation, it's probably going to be LED turn signals and maybe LED brake lights.

just kidding, that's just an autobild render (although they have been pretty spot on with their prediction sometimes)

According to BMW there will be no facelift for beggining of 2010. Maybe release in march.. but nothing for september. And it will be minor design changes.

You have a source for this?

That looks pretty good but I'm not sure I like the 7er-style taillights.

i got all my fingers crossed, but the chance of that happening is probably 10%.
If they wanted DCT in North America, then i believe they would have offered it for the 4 door 335, but they didn't last year.

we'll know for sure soon enough!!

It's scheduled for 2011.

Background:
New sedan (1999 for E46, 2006 for E90)
Then, new coupe immediately after (2000 for E46, 2007 for E92)
Then, facelift the sedan in it's 3rd year (2002 for E46, 2009 for E90)
Then, finally, facelift the coupe when it's in it's 4th year (2004 for E46, which would put the E92 at 2011).

Granted, this is only the 2nd chassis that has seen revision mid-model (The E36 got some revisions, but never a Life Cycle Impulse), but the fact that they perfectly followed that same formula with the E90 and the arrival of the E92 makes a strong case that they have spent a LOT of money doing research on the most cost effective life cycle period, and will continue the formula that made the E46 3 Series one of the best selling German cars in history.

didn't someone post up the spy photos? Appearently it's not much of a facelift... just the front bumper.

That could have been just a ZCP/ZHP type upgrade. They offered one for the E46, wouldn't shock me if they did it for the E92. Hell, nothing shocks me after seeing the X5M... a 4-wheel-drive, forced induction, Auto-only SAV that despite all those criteria, still gets to wear the ///M badge.

the rear looks like the new e class coupe no?

DinoMite · 06-30-2009, 02:38 PM

Im starting to really like the new Mercedes E-Coupe.
Too bad the engine sucks @ 268hp for the E-350... if they had something more lively i'd probably lease that car over the aging 335.

You should be banned and that car is hideous with no character lines what so ever
and 0 creativity... Take a CL, shrink it to 7/8 add ugly square headlights, slap on the E insteak of CLK
badge to justify higher price .. Seriously man, you should know better...
