Are they going to actually do this one? Because they've said they were going to make a 4-series to split the coupe from the 3 series since all the way back before the E46 was replaced.
I don't like it much. It's a bit dull, the lower front fascia looks weird, and that vent on the wing is out of place. And for some reason, I don't like the interior, either.
I like it. First coupe version in a while I've preferred to the standard four-door 3-Series.
They need rid of that goppingly awful plastic wood on the dashboard, and those cupholders should probably be a more subdued colour too, but apart from that I quite like the brownness of the interior. The suede-lined pillars remind me of current Jaguars.
Doubt it's actual plastic though (Bangle said there wouldn't be fake wood whilst he was running the place, well he's gone for a while but still ) but perhaps you meant the kind of wood or typically German wood finish.
Don't mind it myself, I think it's a retro-cue from the seventies CS pictured below (now that is plastic I think) but I think I'd prefer an aluminium finish for this car instead (love the brown leather and suede headlining though).
As for the car itself, I like it, the sloping rear has a hint of Audi Sportback but less pronounced, love the detailing (including that vent) and the rear treatment which seems to integrate the exhausts.
Overall I like the rear-end better than the front (what's with BMW's current front-end treatment for most models? maybe I just need to get used to it yet).
Good lord I hate the naming convention now employed at BMW. Hell, all of the Germans have lost their minds.
As for the car itself, it's a 3-series, coupe. Swoopy lines, awkward face. Likely to gain the not-as-great steering, ride, performance attitude that the sedan employs.
So instead we wait for the ATS coupe, and hope that BMW addresses that competition in the mid-cycle refresh.
Still not digging the vent, but the rest looks quite sexy to be honest. Then again, it looks that impressive since it doesn't really look like a production car. For now I still prefer the good 'ole E92
) but perhaps you meant the kind of wood or typically German wood finish.
I cant remember ever driving a German car with cupholders.
