It's nice...

Last model to get the new gen. treatment...

But still lacking is some engine massaging...

Still the same engines and still the same HP/TQ... (boring)...

One of the last things that BMW should do to make what I believe would be as close to a perfect car... (IMHO)

I've always liked the new look of BMW so this latest is cool in my eyes...

logic would say this 258 hp 3L I6 would also be found in the 530i and z4, right?

Hey, it's still the ultimate sports-sedan for around 40k, period. The new G35 6MT will try and fail miserably IMO. The new IS300/330 has the best chance.

The truth is that the styling of Hundai's are really getting doo these days.

I like it. I am just glad they are making the iDrive an option rather than standard.

The new G35 6mt isn't really new...just a power upgrade. Interior still is kinda crappy and the the exterior is only a touch-up instead of a full re-desgn. With that said, it is still the 2nd best choice in terms of driving dynamics and probably the best "sports" sedan relative to the 3 series. The IS300 isn't even out yet but Toyota's put me to sleep even before I start the car (and I've had 3 Toyotas). I'm willing to bet that the new 3 series isn't much faster than a current G35 and the TL. Lets see if they screw up the handling like they did in the 5 series.

I just heard a quick comment that the new 325 and 330 eventhough they will have the same engines the output expected is more than the current models...

Woo hoo
