Our 335i has an arm rest with coupe holders instead of the passthrough cover. I think I prefer it. But again, no idea why it is different.

The rear, complete with controversial E90 tail lights. I like them, but I am biased.

And the controversial low hanging muffler. Note to BMW: Remove all black tape when preping cars for display.

Someone decided they could not live without a souvenir. No, it was not me. Maybe they plan to steal an M3 piece by piece.

Now on to the coupe. I started with the rear because I happened to be standing near it after that last shot. This is the view other drivers will see most often.

The coupe has the silver interior (extended). It looks good. And you can see me in this shot too. Hi!

The console. Unlike the sedan, this one has heated seats and PDC equipped. And some close ups of the carbon-look trim.

As you well know by now, the coupe is a 2+2 (sedan seats 5).

For good measure, I ransacked the trunk of the coupe also.

This piece was missing from the sedan. It fits in the ski pass through. I don't know what its good for. Maybe you could hide some weed in there?

Figured I'd take some shots around the M display for anyone who is curious. Notice 4.8 seconds *or less*, heh.

The new twin turbo V8 (N64 as I believe it is known) is by far the most interesting motor of the four here.

The M area from a distance. Note, no M5, and no Z4 M's. In fact, lots of BMWs were absent from the show - a first as far as I can recall. I think they were short on space with the 1 and X6 adding two all new models to their lineup.

We must remember the Ms are not the fastest vehicles in BMW's arsenal. This bike is absolutely sick, BTW.

Will the next M3 feature a similar setup? Who knows. I think this is the only V8 I've seen with turbos in the valley. Its quite a unique layout.
