Don’t expect an official confirmation from BMW<\/a> for another week, but some of the automaker’s anticipated updates to its 2011 E92\/E93 (3 Series Coupe\/3 Series Convertible<\/a>) have already leaked into cyberspace. The team over at Bimmerfile is reporting that the exterior of both models will receive revised “sporty” front fascias, complete with LED lights and minor tweaks to the interior. Turbocharged 335i models optioned with either the M Sport Package or the standard Sport Package will be fitted with 19-inch alloys (a bump up from the current 18-inch offerings). Anthracite Bamboo trim will reportedly be a new interior option that will be joined by a new exterior color, and paddle shifters will be standard fare for vehicles without manual transmissions. <\/p>\n Keeping enthusiasts smiling, BMW will reportedly offer an “is” version of the refreshed two-door models. Exclusive to the U.S. market, the special variants are expected to be configured with either DCT or a Sport Automatic transmission. In addition, unique styling and special aerodynamic bits will differentiate them from the standard models. As expected, the interiors will be fitted with M Sport equipment as well. Best of all, the twin-turbocharged N54 under the hood will likely receive its own set of horsepower-boosting enhancements, much like those found on the recently announced Z4 sDrive35is<\/a>. <\/p>\n [Source: BimmerFile<\/a>]<\/p>\n 2011 BMW 3 Series leaks out ahead of Detroit – special U.S. market performance model mooted<\/a> originally appeared on Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 06 Jan 2010 08:01:00 EST.
