Why?  Now dropping the "C" from the coupe's designation--keeping it in line
with the 6 series--merely adds confusion.

I'd buy the car whether it's a 335i or a 435i.  And would have appreciated
the distinctiveness of the coupe having unique naming.

Living in Munich, I have seen sveral 3' series coupés lately. They
seemde to be pre-production cars, because the brand signs were hidden
under tape.

My two first impressions were these:

1. looks nice, clean and plain. Somehow like a mixture between E90
and 850ci. Not bad, but also not totally terriffic.

2. no sound. The new engine soulds like an electric motor. May sound
different from the inside, but the sound was as low asi twas boring.

That's my objection to my early ('99) E46.  You can't hear the engine at all
from inside the car with the windows closed.  My other BMW, a Z4, has a
resonant tube in the engine bay to amplify the sound - seems sort of nutty,
but it works pretty well.

I agree on the "not bad" thing. Much better than the E90 though, especially
the rear end.

Do you think you may heve seen the 3 series gas/electric hybrid?

No. Don't think so. The thing sounded like a very, very silent inline
six

Fine, if you like very, very silent cars;-)
