Saw "ANOTHER FAKE" pic of new BMW 3 coupe

Hmm, I saw a rendering of the new 3 BMW coupe before and it looked good, but this real one is not as tempting at all, especially the back, looks like the older Maxima rear, and the shape looks like a sedan. Not tempted as much now.

I was told they won't sell the new style Coupe until next year. The new style sedan comes out this year.

Hmm, looks exactly the same as the sedan, no wonder. Ps or not, this is what I'd expect and have expected.

Looking at those two pictures I suspect ps on the coupe. Look where the front part of the rear wheel well meets the rocker panel compared to the sedan. It doesn't line up close to the way the sedan does. It also looks questionable where the rear door was. Also on the E46 they made such a big deal about no shared body panels between the coupe and sedan, I'll be damned if I can see any differences between the rear bumper, trunk and tail lights on these two.

It looks like the sedan because it's a crappy PS job. You can see the marks from the removed door handle and the line where the read door ends.

I like the outgoing 3-Series coupe, but a 325Ci can approach dizzying prices and it's still weak.
The G35C is such a better car for the money.

Its pretty obvious from the piss poor removal attempt of the rear door handle.

100% But if the E36 and E46 are any indicators, the new 3 coupe should pretty much look like that PS version above.

. I think I will have to let it grow on me like the 5-series. But I'm not sure I would ever get one.

Oh man, I was hoping that was the coupe so I wouldn't be tempted (overpriced). It may be a real contender though if they give it some looks.
