Maybe this board should be renamed 2006 BMW 3-series since it appears the new sedan will be a 2006. The 2005s will be about the same as they are now. Sounds like the price is going up a lot if they are really adding so much standard equipment and bigger engines. People waiting for 2005s thinking they will be an all-new design might as well just lease a 2004 now, drive it for 3 years and get a new 2007 at the end of the lease after the bugs are worked out and price gouging starts to wane. |

My plan is to wait for '07 or '08 as well. My guess is that the price will go up considerably, given the new 1 series coming on the bottom end and the price increases for the 5 series give BMW some room to play with. Bret |

| I did sign a confidentiality agreement however, I just want to note that after 3 hours of evaluation (no driving), I decided that I like my current 2001 330i better and will either keep it for another 10 years (and buy another car for daily driving) or get a 2004 330i before they are gone. Nothing wrong with the new one, it will be very successful I am sure, I just prefer the current design. | |
| Has anyone found any other pictures of the 2005 325/ 3 Series. Thanks | |

Isn't the restyled, new design actually going to be considered a 2006 model that will be released late in calendar year 2005? If so, it will be many months before anyone will have pics to post. In that case, a 2005 3-sereies will look just like a 2004. |

Everything I've read with any credibility puts the e90 (new 3-series) release as a model year 2006, released sometime IN 2005, not fall of 2004 as a 2005 model. Another poster put it this way: Think of the e60 (new 5-series). It came out this past fall as a 2004, and at this time last year, we already knew exactly what it was going to look like. Right now, we only have photoshopped pics of the e90, and some camo-ed pics from road testing. No way that car's coming out this fall. Plus, the 1-series is coming out this fall--they will most likely want to stagger that. Seems the soonest we'd see a new 3-series is March/April 2005 as a 2006 model, and possibly as late as fall 2005. Granted, I do not know any of this for sure. Just saying the signs point to a 2006 model. |

Just found these photos on line. Might be of interest to some of you. They look pretty genuine too, not just artist impressions. New 4 Series http://www.autofiend.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&a- mp;sid=88 New 3 Series http://www.geocities.com/futurecars1/FutureCars-06_BMW_3er.html |

Huh. Mugly ugly wheels on the i. Bad color too as black doesn't reveal curves on sheetmetal well. I'll be interested in seeing it with a silver color (which accents lines the best). Still leaning toward the highest output 1 or a TL in 2006. V8 in the M4? So wrong. A heavy V8 seems to fly in the face of the concept of a 3 but they just keep making it more and more corpulent. sigh... |

Anyone know when the 2005 model comes out? Also, do we know anything yet about the MSRP ? |
