Spied: BMW 1-Series coupe - 02-03-2007, 06:40 PM

A coupe variant of the BMW 1-Series has been spied in testing. The 1-Series launched as a three-door vehicle recently, but the new series is already set to expand with a coupe model. The 1-Series coupe is expected to launch by the end of this year to be followed by a soft-top convertible and possibly a M version in 2008.

Just as planned, and just as you've been told.

All that is needed is putting an original 2er copue body & sheet metal on the finally developed chassis & do some additional tests & fine tuning to suspension, steering & brakes.

Earliest time we will start to see camouflaged 2er coupe with original design when E81 ends its FEP phases & chassis is production ready.

We are talking about a few weeks here ...

F02 LWB 7er prototypes also expected to join Z4 prototype & Co.



Also: first 2er cabrio prototypes with less camo (without plastic cladding, only heavily taped) are already around - E88 entering the FEP phases. In a week or two all E88 prototypes will lose the cladding. Still waiting someone get pics of them.

Hint: B-pillar.

It's a coupe. Cabrio is getting canvas.

It's about time already... Hopefully this translates into early release ('08???)??? Notice the proportions are spot on w/ the original 2002.

YES! This is something I've been waiting for a long time.
Is it true that the coupe will be out already at the end of 07?

EDIT: Is it going to be 1er or 2er?
