The tail lights alone make it worth going to a two door. I was so close to getting a 330 last year, but those tail lights were just ugly (to me of course). I really like this coupe - even the GS wheels

Front
Intercooler
underbody
Twin turbo exits
rear end
aparently is was on the way to greenville, SC to the performace center for testing. it had tape covering the most of the tailights and also covering the BMW emblem and trim numbers but the dual exhaust and intercooler made it obvious
enjoy

Is that a true Dual exhaust system I see?? Looks nice
I believe the new official times of the 335i are 5.3 sec. I could see it being slightly faster as well.

If BMW would only do away with the Pontiac kidneys. Otherwise a straight 6 turbo-sounds like the Supra TT is back under another badge. Good job BMW on this one. 400hp+ should be no problem and the aftermarket will flood the market with boost controls.

IMHO, many of the current IS owners would have bought a coupe if it were available. BMW will likely steal some of the IS350's sales with this car.
