BMW raises base price on some 2004 "3 Series" vehicles
I guess they think they are a steal as they are priced now. Here is the latest info:
Beginning in March 2003 the 3 Series will undergo a number of improvements. For example, all 3 Series Coupes and Convertibles will receive a facelift and the rain sensor will become standard. In addition, all 330 models will have a 6-speed manual transmission standard. These product enhancements require an increase in base price to some models. Below is a brief summary.
3 Series retail price changes:
2004 3 Series Coupes and Convertibles
325Ci Coupe base price $30,100, ($500 increase)
325Ci Convertible base price $37,300, ($600 increase)
330Ci Coupe base price $36,300, ($700 increase)
300Ci Convertible base price $43,600, ($700 increase)
No change in package prices
Xenon Adaptive headlights will be $800
2003 3 Series Sedans and Sports Wagons
No price increase on the 325i and 325xi Sedans
No price increase on the 325i and 325xi Sports Wagons
330i Sedan base price $34,800, ($200 increase)
330xi Sedan base price $36,550, ($200 increase)
Performance Package will be $3,900. (available only on the 330i Sedan.)

and they already increased the price from the 2002 to 2003 models... i guess they do this every year?

I'm still in shock how expensive the M3 is
I just built a coupe......
Premium, Xenon, 19's, heated seats, HK sound
MSRP $53,720 (that's with a non metallic color).....if I wanted to do a special order color, add another $2k.
So, $55,720
Pricey little stinker

When do the the next years M's usually arrive at the dealers?
In other words when will the 04' M3 show up at the dealership?

im pretty sure they already had the 2004 m3 at the auto shows. And there isnt a facelift or v8.

If there was one there, I doubt people would be bringing up what features the 04 M3 will have every other day on Bimmer.org

I doubt we will see a V8 in an M3 before the next generation M3 comes out. The acceleration times are sufficient with this current engine to against the V8 S4 and others in the category. The M3 can get by with this engine for another 2 more years.

As far as engines/output go (whether it goes to a V8 or not) , don't rule anything out.
I agree though, a V8 will most likely not show itself in an M3 until 2006.
