Here's some info for you guys.....looks like a 258 hp V6 and a styling refresh......

New 3 series

 

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...

I like the new look of BMW also.

 

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

 

Mazda 3 has better styling.

 

It looks like a Hyundai.

 

Looks much better.

 

, and

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
