e92/93 received some interior upgrades by september 08, same time as e90/91.

Chrome in cupholders and lights switch, new idrive.... all or at least most of those seen in the sedan.

Now it is only pendant a minor cosmetic refresh. Maybe just new bumpers, wheels...

What really bothers me the most is that the face lifted 4 door didn't get the dual clutch transmission in North America, so i guess the the coupe won't get it either... WHICH REALLY SUCKS

The rear lights of the E92 don´t fit the rest of the BMW line-up nowadays, maybe they change them with this FL.

With the New Mercedes E-Coupe, it seems BMW's 3-Series coupe looks very dated IMO.

Hopefully the 2010 model year 3-coupe will offer some additional standard features as part of the base price... looking at the E-Class Coupe from Mercedes, the only thing stopping me from buying it, is the abysmal 268hp engine.(Should have been at least 320HP for that price).

I don't think that any E90 or E91 has DCT tranmission, other than the M3...not anywhere. The coupé 335i already has DCT, the cabrio too.

Sky: but they do look good. I hope the form stays the same, but they give it the new 7er LED style, and LED brake lights too
The 3er sedan FL doesn't have LED brake lights, and it looks rather cheap when the brake is activated

The only place that sells DCT for 335's is Europe and Australia as far as i know. Nothing in the US, or Canada for now. Weird. you'd think they'd pitch the technology to their biggest market. Oh well.

Hmm, that's really weird. BMW is seriously lacking big time with the DCT tech in it's cars. Should be available on almost all models, in every market.

I, for one, would like to see a proper DCT box in the BMW diesels too. I am shifting non stop like crazy in a manual BMW diesel. DCT should be brilliant with a diesel engine...

If you are getting old, tired of using the stick, why not try a good old fashioned automatic...

But I guess these double clutch boxes are great for achieving good on-the-paper fuel economy in the EC-cycle.
