Updated info on facelifted 3 series....

I figure most of you guys are keeping track of the 3-series so i figure i tell ya whats going on.

Well one, there is no more steel grey color. The new color is Silver Grey. And no more topaz, its being replaced by Mystic blue.

also new design wheels will be offered.








Can someone make out what this says? I think they are offering new darker headliner, and i cant tell what the other is, seems like blackbetter leather?


Damn over priced shit.

besides the front signal lights and the front bumper (around the fog light) there really isnt much of a difference. Esp if u have to pinpoint the changes then most ppl wont recognize it anyway

but that last silver coupe

Damn, looks like your shit is gonna look old pretty fast.....

Doesn't the new nose look a little bit inspired by the Z4?

I like the wheels, but I hate the rear end-- They shouldn't have moved the rear "diffuser" slot up that high. And they should have lost the little red lights under the bumper. And what the hell is with all these Bimmers and MBs with those stupid little circular "dents" in the rear bumper? I always hated that.....

its ok, its juust more of a reason to mod. Plus if i kept the TLS for this long, then i would have lost soo much on it. So biggie to me.


Tom2, you sure you own a bmw? The "dents" always have been the PDC, park distance control.

I just think it looks like shit, on ANY car, that's all. It's a bad styling statement.

Yeah maybe......but by this time next year, I'll have a different car. Prolly a G35C with 6-speed. SMG blows, once the novelty wears off.

Makes sense, go from a 60k m3 to a 35k g35.... sure Tom. SURE.

Why not just get an m3 with a 6-speed? :o

Why doesn't it make sense? I don't buy a car because of the price, I buy it because I like it. And I like the G35 A LOT! Are you saying I should only buy a car of equal or greater value to my current car? Sorry, but that's not me. I also own a $20K Ford Escape that I drive around in the winter. Maybe I shoulda got an $50K X5 instead?

As you probably remember, my engine had to be replaced in my M3. I haven't really been happy with it ever since. Besides, I'd never buy the same exact car again, with a different tranny. The SMG was a big mistake, because I know I would have been more happy rowing my own gears.

Believe me, my next car will probably be a G35 Coupe.
