That's a pretty cool PS you did there Christian. When did you do that?.. and using what program?

For some reason I think I've seen that pic before...

Here's a chop of a 1er 3dr I did during the GCZ days. I did it in Windows Paintbrush.. but as you can see apart from the obvious change of 1 less door I also lowered the car a bit and put on some BMW Individual wheels.

* Sorry for the low quality images guys. The original pic was much bigger in size and also better quality, but a year or so ago Photobucket had some hack-in or something so they were only able to save peoples images at much smaller size. The pic above is a bit enlarged from the original, so that's why it's kinda blurry and grainy. Below is a link to the small sized image saved in my Photobucket account.

Autoweek is reporting that we'll get the 130i and an upcoming, yet to be announced 135i 3-doors here in the U.S. market sooner than expected. Going to be a hoot do drive with 300hp!

If the 135 is a reality the key will be how they price it.

I have still no answer why 130i does not have the hpi engine.

If september has another engine update i cancel my 130i order next week.

I used Adobe Photoshop 7.0 for the editing work.

I also posted this image on Carspin.net, maybe you saw it there or someone ripped it and posted it on other forums.

Yeh... I think I may have browsed by your pic when I was looking for 1er 3dr spy pics or something like that.

From the looks of it, it seems like the only change you made was to airbrush out the rear door line. Any other changes?

You're Welcome mate!

That has to be one of the best looking chops that I've done so far!

For your clue into how the Coupe and Cabrio will differ from the hatchbacks .
look at the head on shots where you can see that BMW have added a ledge underneath the lamps in the Coupe and Cabrio models. The edge of the will follow through like the headlamps of the 3er Coupe and Cabrio and will curve upwards. And the twin-grille will be less flat with a more pronounced shape recalling the design of the CS1 Concept.
