Seriously when will be coupe model be changing?

MMVI · 09-05-2009, 03:59 AM

I am only 1 year into the 3 year company car (a beautiful 325 Sport coupe) but I had an E90 325 on 162s (and 2 x E46) before that, and whilst its still a long while off I am concerned about my next car. I will have had an E9x dash infront of me for 6 years and know that if its replacement is too far off I will have to commit to another model/manufacturer because haveing 3 in a row is too much.

I can and will extend my current car if the replacement is nearby (September 2011) but does anyone really! know when the E92 replacement will be out.

I have heard (and I have never got this) that once again the coupe will follow the Saloon significantly later, that means BMW will have had an E9x shape in production for getting on for 10 years. Come on guys its nice but not a classic.

I could just about live (lets face it there is nothing better by a long stretch) if BMW made iDrive and Nav standard, this would change the interior by enough of a margin to make it feel different but £2k still in this day and age, they are taking the piss.

So when will it change I need to know?

If you're talking about the E92 facelift, I believe we should be seeing it as a 2010.5 MY in early spring of next year.

brand new coupe / new 3 series - 2012. facelift might not happen since the company is saving cash right now. bmw is in serious trouble financially, they'll survive ofcourse but they are cutting down / delaying a bit new model releases when possible.

mid year is silly as hell...

The all-new 3 series (F30) will be a 2012 model. The M variant (M3) usually comes a year later.

I agree, but I thought that was the latest rumor. I could be wrong...

I bet the coupe facelift will come this October.

Well the coupé might come a year later in 2013 and the M3 might take until 2014 (E90 in 2005, E92 in 2006, E92 M3 in 2007).

This whole mid-year garbage is the only reason I ended up with a 330xi instead of a 335xi

Still waiting for a proper answer....

So few details it's going to be 1 of 2 things, IMO:

1) Very minor changes, so it won't matter if you wait or not. (If it were a big deal, I guarantee it would have leaked).
2) There will be no real change until 2011

I ordered my 2010 because there was no compelling reason to wait for 2010.5 and I needed my car sooner than that.
