BMW has finally relented and decided to release official photos of its 2007 3-series coupe. Known as the E92, the two-door version of BMW’s car tempers some of the four-door’s polarizing lines-and introduces a few new technical features to go along with the new sheetmetal.

Molded plastic front fenders (like those used on the 6-series) and electric power steering (as on the Z4) make their first 3-series appearance, but the real news lies in the two-door’s new powerplant. The coupe’s available 3.0-liter twin-turbo six is BMW’s first nondiesel turbo in two decades and also the first home for its new direct-injection system.

A revised, 328i-badged version of the current 3.0-liter also will be available. There’s no word yet on when-or if-the sedan will get any of the two-door’s new equipment, but if past BMW practice is any guide, a complete rollout across the line will occur within the next couple of years.
