The BMW 135i Coupe redesigning project has been one of the most exciting episodes in our “Be A Designer” series. With a lot of enthusiasts behind this model, we were positive that the input will be numerous, but valuable at the same time.
Our rendering artist, Andrei, had to sort out some of the comments and choose the best design elements in order to re-draw the 1er Coupe. While many of you might have wanted to see an M1 replica, the truth is that the 135i Coupe was designed as a performance car, but not in the M class, so we decided to stay on the same course.
Beside the excitement of redrawing an existing BMW model, these episodes in the ” Be A Designer” series are all about bringing the community together and sharing constructive ideas. As you can see from the renderings below, the redesigned Coupe keeps a realistic look rather than a prototype-like vehicle. Truth is that the 135i Coupe design is already appreciated by the BMW community and many of you believe that only minor changes are needed.
At the beginning of this week, we kicked off a new episode of our exclusive “Be A Designer” series, a design exercise that started months ago and involves the BMW community. The project is a collaboration between BMWBLOG, Automarket.ro and rendering artist Andrei Arvavarii and it is sponsored by Classic BMW Ohio and this latest episode focuses on one of the most exciting and addictive models from BMW: 135i Coupe.
With a large and loyal community behind it, the 135i Coupe rendering exercise should be one of the most exciting projects we have done so far, and the input we’ve received this week, has been overwhelming and intriguing at the same time. At this moment, we can’t even predict what the final rendering will look like, but we’re anxious to see the results.
By the end of this week, our rendering artist will select and analyze the comments you left us, so if there is anything else you would like to add, now it’s the time.
Our exclusive “Be A Designer” project continues today with a new episode. The project is a joint venture between BMWBLOG, Automarket.ro and rendering artist Andrei Arvavarii and it is sponsored by Classic BMW Ohio who believed in this project and continues to support it.
The initiative has been a great success so far, we started off with the redesign of the BMW 3 Series Sedan, then we moved up to the “high-class” and rendered the new 7 Series. But today, we’re going to give you, the BMW enthusiasts, an even more fun project. Together, we would like to redesign the BMW 135i Coupe, the latest 1 Series model that has gathered around it a large community of enthusiasts.
The rules are the same as before, based on your own ideas and input, our rendering artist will draw the 135i Coupe just the way you want to.
Last week, we launched the second episode of our “Be A Designer” project, an initiative that allows all of you to express your opinion regarding the design lines of current BMW models. While the first time we decided to go with the 3 Series Sedan, this time around, the new 7 Series was the subject of our social experiment.
Some of you disagreed with this choice since the new 7 indeed is one of the best designs we have seen in a while. But on the other hand, there were still plenty BMW fans that would have liked to “operate” small changes in the design lines. So we listened to you, we gathered your advice and opinions and passed them onto to our rendering artist, Andrei.
The results? Quite interesting we might add and while the 3 Series redesign was more adventurous and unique, the 7 kept its major design lines, but added some design cues that provide a more aggressive look at the front-end and a rounded, not so radical design lines at the rear.
The wheels on the blue painted 7, come from the CS Concept, on the red car we redesigned the Style 37 wheels found on the older 750i E38 and last but not least, on the gray painted model, we “touched” the Style 312 wheels.

After the huge success of the first Be A Designer project (BMW 3 Series Sedan redesign), there were many requests that we should continue down the same path and give you, our readers, and any other BMW fans the opportunity to express your opinion regarding the design lines of a BMW production model.
The project is a joint venture between your BMWBLOG, Automarket.ro and rendering artist Andrei Arvavarii and it is sponsored by Classic BMW Ohio who believed in this project and continues to support it.
Today, we are back with a new challenge, even more exciting in our opinion. After you successfully managed to redraw the exterior design of the current 3 Series Sedan, we offer a new opportunity: based on YOUR ideas and input, our rendering artist will draw the new BMW 7 Series just they way you you want to.
Over a week ago, we launched one of the most unique and interesting projects involving the BMW community. We decided to give you, our readers, a chance to express your opinion on the design lines of the current BMW 3 Series sedan. Your ideas and suggestions would have formed the base of future graphic renderings which will showcase the 3 Series just the way you wanted to.
We have always valued your input, comments, suggestions and this was a way for us to repay you and allow you to become more involved with our blog. To make this even more interesting, we teamed up with Automarket.ro, which presented the same challenges to their readers. A question has arisen from the beginning: will people across the globe share the same design opinions and passion for BMW?
Well, today we have our answer and thanks to the hard work of rendering artist Andrei Arvavarii, who had to scan through the tens of comments to find the most common requested design elements, we are able to bring you not one, but two different versions of the current BMW 3 Series Sedan.
BMWBLOG invites you today to take place in one of the most interesting projects ever created for the BMW community. The “Be A Designer!” project will give you the opportunity to actively become involved with our blog and implicitly, to give your input in the drawing process of a car which you could change its design based on your own ideas.
This project is a joint venture with Automarket.ro and Andrei Avarvarii and we will all you give this unique opportunity: to create renderings of a BMW model, of course, all based on your input.
Through the “Be a designer!” project, you would have the opportunity to express your opinion regarding the design shapes of a BMW production model – chosen by us- and to propose a new design and ideas which would change that particular model. We’re open to all of your reasonable proposals and your ideas will be collected from Monday through Sunday from the Comments section down below. At the end of this time period, BMWBLOG, Automarket and Andrei will collect some of the most interesting design proposals.
