2006 330Ci / 325Ci

[hosagod]

Has there been any new information (screens, write-ups,etc.) on the next generation 3 coupes lately?

Last thing I saw was the leaked brochure on the sedan which I wasn't too concerned about...

If anyone has any links or news they have pls add to this!

Well, the word on the street is the coupes will be available in 2007.

and who knows if they'll be a 330Ci/325Ci, BMW may decide to buff up the engines, which im hoping for even though those engines are of a superior level

I have this dilemna now. I'm coming off an 02 325ci in April of 05. So i'm probably going to take an 05 330ci, and just enjoy it, even though the 06 sedan will be out 6 months later. At least the new coupes wont hit the road for a year and a half.

I found this on the next generation 3 series coupes. Here are 3 pics in disguise...

The sad part is, I'm afraid to see what is underneath that tape because the tape is actually making it look decent...

Also, have you guys seen the new A4 said to debut in 2005?

I think the current design is better but we'll have to see...

You'll be missing the new car design, but probably getting quite a steal on a E46. They will be trying to clear all the dealerships of the old cars before the new ones hit. Good year for anyone with a passion for E46's to make a purchase.

The leaked brochure is the latest I've seen on the E90, other than one early photo of the M3 - red at that. (That's here in a post somewhere too).

Well the problem is I don't want to get a sedan re-design, but rather a coupe. Even if I did extend my lease 5 months, then get one of the first new body e90's to come out, I would probably be paying a premium on the lease, don't you think?

I got my E46 in the first months of production. I would not do that again. It was cool to be the first on the road with xenon head lights, but they always have a couple kinks to work out on a new body style change....and after a few years they always keep improving on the accessories and all. New engines usually come out inbetween body style changes. I would go for a seventh year E46 cuz they are packed with all sorts of improvements and have all the kinks worked out. You may not get all the looks that a new body style will get, but the E46 is refined and you'll get a good deal.

Thanks for the advice. You are right about all that, plus on top you are paying more for having the "newest" body.

They'll never have all the kinks worked out...lol

what is Audi trying to do with that new A4 grill? Looks like they have been looking at Chrysler (300m etc...) too much lately.....

 

[poboyis]

wow, with all that tape on the back, almost makes it look like a SAAB
