I like what they are doing on the Sedan but it seems like they are putting jewelry bits on that should have been there from the begining. BMWAG seems to be very narrow minded on consumer desired features. I'm all for technology but why isn't there a six disc in-dash or hard drive standard by now..considering BMW is supposed to be the leader?

With the competition gaining, "I" know the value of a BMW but average Joe who's looking around says why get a BMW 3 series. I'm hoping in BMW will return some value to price ratio because the price is getting up there. They add features to the new 3 series that we probably will have to pay up the ying-yang for where-as the competition is including them in the price which is already lower.

Oh you had a question I didn't like the re-styling on the E46 coupe but I do like what they are doing to the Sedan. I'm picturing the new hood and maybe side skirts and rear valance on a Coupe. I think there could be more "LED" to the led rear lamps and the headlight jewelry doesn't look bad. I'm betting finally what BMW said what maybe three years ago will come true. "Free" auto tranny. The center console could be more refined and I really like the cluster but really is it new or just 7 series inspired?

The .9 percent interest and finally current 2008 free auto tranny offer makes me think if I should buy now however the economy and higher prices make me think I should just keep my 2001 325ci and rag it out.
