I love the render of the car. If the real things goes in that direction, I will be very very pleased. It does have a little CC in it, as well as a dose of CLS in it in my view, but still, the stance is a masculine and elegant BMW coupe. Sweet!
I'm also in favor of the renaming. The coupe costs significantly more than the sedan ($15000USD in my market) and giving it the new name will allow BMW to up the ante a little more on the luxury features of the coupe. I've never thought of it as a badge whore thing, but for me personally, I think the e90 and e92s are really different cars in that I never even considered an e90 and yet I bought an e92. Obviously BMW thinks I'm not the only consumer with this perception, regardless of what the forum crowds think.
Hopefully the nomenclature will give BMW designers a little more room to make the coupe even more distinct but retain all the technical virtues we've come to expect from BMW in the 3 series.
