looks sweet. Cannot wait to get mine. Hopefully it will be here in April, like the dealer says..Does the trunk look ridiculously long compared to the sedan or is that just me. Maybe thats just because its a spy photo. Take all the crap off the car already BMW... Also...why does the rear side window look so much smaller in the Spy photo of the white coupe that we saw a few weeks ago. Besides that it looks dead sexy..

seriously BMW needs to get the coupe to the US before the summer driving season, or they will miss out on a bunch of buyers....like me!

And i am definetly not worried about the front since I like pretty much every BMW front, from the 3,5,6,7. The rear does have me quite worried but you know what, no matter how ugly the car is to look at in the beginning, I have always found that it grows on you.

new 5-series anyone?

The asses on the 6 and 7 have never grown on me, though the fronts and middles on both of those cars are just stunningly beautiful. Why Bangle and company tacked on those bubble butt trunks just boggles my mind.

The 7 series rear is still a little odd but I do appreciate the 5 series rear now, at least its distinctive, haha

I believe thats an old render. According to the spy shots the licensee plate sits in the center, not down low like that magazine indicates.

Perhaps it is a trick of colour and/or photography angle, but if others can see a difference, I think the white one looks better, more sporty.
You read my mind... I was thinking the same thing looking at the photos side-by-side. I think the white one looks more sporty. But it's probably the angle.

That would make sense why the rear is covered. If the rear was the same as the coupe there would be no reason to cover it. A Photoshopped pic could pair an e90 rear with the spy shot and we would know what it looks like. I really hope you are right about a sportier rear and taillights. The e90 taillights work well for a sedan, but I prefer something more like the 6 series taillights or even the ones from the mag photo (posted earlier) for a coupe. You mentioned the rear lights will make the coupe stand out... have you heard anything about changes they may do to the front? I assume the front is masked because they have a slight change there too.

i'd like the tail lights to be diff from the e90 sedan because i think it doesn't look great on the e90... but acceptable... but i'd rather not see it replicated on the coupe. the e90 headlights work real well with the conservative/sporty overall look of the e90... it's a masculine i think, look... the sharp points on the blinkers, and the rest pretty gradual bends. the only obvious circular shape in the whole headlight are the angle eyes themselves. That's a nice contrast. If you make the whole tail light roundish... it can take way from the angel eyes... I'm crossing my fingers... i dont like the headlights on the 5, 6. The 7 they 'fixed'... with an acceptable shape... it's not wow, but it's no longer wow, that's fugly.

235i Nose mask

Do know where I can get 2006 325i nose mask. here in Canada the winter is really bad. They put salt and sand which result in so many small chips on your hood and chips in your windshield too especially if your following those big SUV's.
