2005 BMW 3 series . . . competition for our TL

I thought I'd share this with the group. Apparently a showroom brochure for the new 3 series (slated to be announced in February/March 2005) has been "accidentally" leaked.

The story and link to download the PDF of the brochure are here:
http://www.autospies.com/article/ind...8&categoryId=8

The brochure is in Slovenia, but the pictures speak a 1000 words. However, the translation for the brochure is here:
http://www.channel4.com/4car/feature.../3-series.html

Just thought I'd share with everyone . . .

This have been making the rounds ALOT!!! All BMW sites have feedback (quite extensive) on the new 3 series. In my opinion, the 2005.5/2006 BMW 3 series looks great! I shutter to think when they release the M3.

It's a somewhat less daring avant garde design, but maybe because we have gotten used to the styling cues from BMW.

This is just a rumour but the 330i might have a 255 hp 3.0L inline six with a 7000 rpm redline.

All I can say is....more TL sales. I won't be able to tell for sure, but it's not a looker. It's a baby 5-series. 5-series are reportly languishing on dealer lots....
