VERDICT: Is the new BMW 3-series coupe a STUD or a DUD? Vote here!

I'm a huge BMW fan but I'm not really liking this too much. It looks okay, don't get me wrong, but I was expecting so much more.........just looks...bland.

At least from the photo, it does look pretty bland. Maybe when I see it in the flesh, so to speak, I might change my mind. But I think this leaves open a very big hole for the upcoming Lexus IS coupe. If Lexus' coupe looks anything like the concept we saw a few months back, they can really give BMW a run for their money. Should be interesting.

Not sure. Lets do a survey of 500 upper-class people that make $200K a year. That will be concrete :-P

Are there more pics? Always show just the ass end in these links.

When the new IS350 coupe comes out I don't think this BMW coupe will have a chance with it, with this power compared to the IS I'm surprised why BMW did this. Do they only add the power to the overly tuned M3 and price it in the $60k to let people that their stock engines have power? I'm sorry did I say stock engines? German stock engines aren't really that powerful, you see power out of them on the tuned ones only.

To see what the M3 will look like. The front of this thing looks nice, but from B pillar back, it looks odd, especially from side profile. Rear looks better, as well.

The rear end resembles the Hyundai Azera way too much

The 6 series is about the only Bangle design that I like the rest of the BMW car lines look pretty banged up and need to be redesigned.

I would have expected that the 3 series coupe would be a step up from the sedan but it seems its a step down.

For the price and value I would prefer to get the IS 500 coupe when it comes out.

Some of you BMW fanatics may bash Lexus and say BMW is a drivers car but reality remains that most BMW can't even use the cars performance without breaking the law and are driven in traffic jams to and from work.

Those wanting a 3 series BMW are better off getting a used coupe who's design is much more elegant and eye soothing

michael... that's why the most popular BMW model is the 325i.... rims make the car... what a joke.

Oh man!!! I have to say that is one ugly car. Although the pic of the IS coupe is a photoshop it still looks better than this nonsense.

NAZI mobile? Very intelligent.

Confusing the lame Bling culture with subtle German design? Again, very intelligent.

I think the only cars you will see with a 10" exhaust and an oversized spoiler would be Japanese.

Ironic considering you are a Japanese car fan.

The new 3 has them, michael, they are just not as obvious.
