F23 BMW 2 Series Cabriolet Spyshots and Rendering

Here is what we know so far with BMW's new product lineup Series of Odd numbers like 1,3,5,7 is either a hatchback in the case of 1 Series or Sedan for the rest, and then we have the even numbers 6,4 and then there is the 2 Series which will be either a coupe or the cabriolet. The 3 and 5 Series will get a Gran Turismo, 4 and 6 series will get a Gran Coupe. Enough of that, here are some fresh spy shots of the F23 BMW 2 Series Cabriolet which is based on the 1 Series chassis... have a look inside for a gallery of spyshots and renderings we did a few months ago appears to still hold true.

BMW i3 Concept Coupe EV (Gallery)

Here is a huge gallery of pictures of the BMW i3 Concept Coupe EV which debuts this week at the LA Auto show. The CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic) BMW i3 Concept Coupe EV plug in hybrid is a 3 door coupe style with a sportier back end version of the standard BMW i3 Concept shown earlier this year. The Concept Coupe EV is finished for the first time in Valencia Orange instead of the Whites and Silvers BMW i Concepts are accustomed to wearing. This concept looks much closer to the production BMW i3 with a more practical solid doors instead of the see through glass doors from the previous concepts, the coupe retains the 5 Door concept's 2570mm (101.2 inches) wheelbase, the coupe like body gives this car a much sportier, wide and low slung look.

F32 BMW 4 Series Coupe Rendering (And Spyshots)

Since there will no longer be a 3 Series Coupe and Cabriolet, the BMW 4 Series Coupe and Cabriolet will be their natural successor. The BMW 4 Series may offer a range of different engine sizes not too dissimilar to the BMW 3 Series, however there is a chance that we may see a BMW 440i or 435i if technical upgrade is made to the Twin Power Turbo inline 6 from the 335i. We have created a rendering of how the 4 Series could look like based on the spyshots seen here
