Replying to: shipo (Sep 05, 2007 7:32 pm) Shipo, I know that you know 1000 time more about BMW then I. But there are rumors on Bimmerfest in October 2011 as a 2012 model. Replies to this message: shipo (Oct 08, 2007 8:20 pm)

Replying to: nivki89 (Oct 08, 2007 8:05 pm) Yes, I've heard rumors, that said, it really doesn't mean too much this far out. FWIW, a 2011 debut of a new 2012 3-Series would be just about on schedule based upon previous releases of new models. Does that mean that it'll happen? Beats the willies out of me.   Best Regards, Shipo

Replying to: bf109ace (Oct 07, 2007 7:02 pm) The Bangle designed 3 series are just 'ugly' and unclassic, including the 2008 M3. The last generation has more classic looks. The current 3-series look like another Japanese design.   Really? I think the 3 series is one of the best looking cars on the road, especially the coupe. Yes, the previous generation has a more classic look, but bmw has to change with the times or people will buy the "sleeker" looking Japanese cars. Classic is not necessarily better. I suppose looks are a very personal thing.   Dan

Is their any talk about making the convertible AWD like the Audi?
#9 of 276 2009 BMW 3-series model refresh by aussiem8 Mar 08, 2008 (6:04 pm)
Was at my local BMW dealer this week and drove a 335i for the first time. The salesperson told me they were hearing from BMW that the 2009 model will undergo a mid-cycle refresh. No idea what may change, but any styling changes should be subtle, like on the 5-series. My guess is the enhancements will be more interior related, electronics, etc. I'm very interested to find out because my A4 lease comes up in Nov and the 335i is high on my list as a replacement.

#10 of 276 DCT in 2009 BMW 3 Series sedan? by leeh Jul 18, 2008 (12:17 pm)
I read the Inside Line article from today with more info on the 2009 3 Series. It mentioned that the dual-clutch transmission (DCT) was confirmed for the coupe and convertible in Europe with a possibility in US. What's the latest on the sedan? Would there be a DCT for 335i / 335i xDrive for US sedans?

Replying to: aussiem8 (Mar 08, 2008 6:04 pm) What is your impression A4 vs. 335? I drove one for a day while my 330xi was in fro service and I loved it.   Regards, OW Replies to this message: aussiem8 (Aug 05, 2008 8:10 pm)

Replying to: aussiem8 (Mar 08, 2008 6:04 pm) In the June or July Automobile magazine they had a pic of the refreshed 3 and the 1 with Tii badging. The Tii is supposed to slot in between the standard and M versions.   I'm actually waiting to see the 09' 3-series as well. The current model sedan has oddities in exterior design (IMO), and the interior needs some updating as well. After my wife and I test drove one the past month it wouldn't make our short list.

Replying to: circlew (Jul 18, 2008 5:54 pm) My A4 is the 3.2 V6, no sport suspension. It handles incredibly well for a regular suspension. Has very good acceleration up to 60 mph, but like most 6 cyclinder cars falls off quickly above that. Interior is classy and still the class leader. Not as quiet as the BMW 3 series, nor does it drive as well. The BMW chassis is unlike any I've experienced. If BMW could put an Audi interior in its cars, they'd be unbeatable. The new A4 coming out next month has a great look, in & out, and the handling & braking is on par with RS4 according to magazine editors. Looks like it will down to the new A4 and 335i. One is clearly faster and sportier; the other may be sporty enough but much classier. I have 2-3 months to decide. Let the fun begin.
