BMW 3-series Coupe

At the Geneva Motor Show BMW will release the new 3-series Coupe. The photo is showing the new model in full showroom trim. Power for the CC comes from a variety of six-cylinder engines ranging from 2.2 litre 180 HP to 3.0 litre 258 HP. The top of the line M3 will get a V8 4.0 litre engine delivering around 400 HP. Furthermore three Diesels will be available performing 163 HP to 272 HP.

BMW Z4 Restyling
BMW’s Z4 has been on the market since 2002 and is about to undergo a minor facelift, due for launch equally in Geneva. The photo is showing a prototype with a few strips of tape for disguise






BMW Series 1 Three-Door
At the upcoming Geneva Motor Show BMW will also release the sporty three-door variant of the current Series 1 model which was available as a five-door only. The three-door’s side doors are larger, and the B-pillars are set further back within the wheel-base. The pictured prototype has no disguise, and judging from the double exhaust pipes the car is equipped with a 3.0 litre six cylinder fuel engine delivering about 250 HP. The 1-Series three-door model is expected to be in the dealerships from summer 2006 on.

good thing they all have good driving characteristics.

i'm not digging that huuuuge crease on the side of the 3 coupe....



i'd so take an E46 over that any day...

Looks like somebody T-boned the back part of that 3 series I don't like the mirrors either, that is ugly. The headlights have a very stylish shape

Not big on Z coupes...M coupe/roadster wasn't my style and I doubt this one will be either.

1 Series could be a big seller here in the States, especially if it comes with that kind of power.

Not bad... but it looks so dated compared to the G35 Coupe Concept.

To be fair, the Coupe Concept is still a gaudy concept and was in a shiny showroom.

not too bad, at least it doesn't trigger the digusting look on my face

Oh man the 3 series is horrible, ugly as hell. The z4 is very nice, I like it. The 1 series is kinda not bad, but it looks like a 12,000 dollar car, somewhere along the lines of civic hatch, not 20k+ car.

I don't think I've said this about too many cars out there, but I think I prefer the sedan over this coupe. From this angle, the rear quarters and pillars are just looking too fat and honda "accordish." And that crease doesn't help.

The 3 series coupe is very mediocre looking. I need to see the back. There is nothing attractive about the other two.

I hope they won't tone it down too much from the concept. Judging from above pic, I have little doubt the next G coupe would look sexier.

this one???????????

The shape of the headlights of the coupe makes the car look sleepy.

The hardtop convertible with the eyebrows looks better, but still kind of a yawner. Too sedate-looking for a convertible maybe?

The coupe looks weird, not good weird

I agree...the 3/4 shot of the coupe is not attractive, especially the rear. Too bad, the current coupe is still a great looking car IMO.

Here are two other pictures of the 330 coupe. The fist pic is the real spy photo with the tape over the tail lights and the 2nd pic is a photoshop of the concept picture tail lights on the spy photo car. The one thing people have been discussing is that red tail light part on the trunk lid. Some believe it may not be there and just have the tail light on the body like the 6 series. Over all I like it. I hve to see it in person, but might be getting one when it comes out. However, the new G35, or M35/45 coupe that has been posted above also looks really good so I'd have to check that car out as well.
