Nice attempt at sarcasm
OP, no guesses yet on pricing. The entry-level 3 will have a 2.0 litre turbo 4 good for 245 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque. |

I hope that BMW will align itself with Mercedes (2012),
A base 4-turbo C300 with direct injection C350 with direct injection The pojtn is that the 328i deserves better than a 4-cyl. turbo. that doesn't better fuel economy than a NA 6-cyl |

Getting rid of a turbo 6 at the top of the 3 series lineup would be a critical mistake for BMW and would allow Audi to run wild. I would also expect the next Lexus IS to have a turbo 6.

No. The description sounds more like an Audi than BMW. |

Also FYI from the Audi world, there is a facelift planned for the 2012 A4, probably will include LED front head lighting as an option and upped power from the 2.0T. Supposedly a drastic facelift much like the B6 to B7
I will probably stick with Audi but this new F30 is making that difficult. |

Personally I find it odd that the US market hasn't had a small diesel on offer yet. BMW make fantastic diesel 4 pots which the European market has been enjoying for many years so why not share the technology?

it would be tight if the 328 flipped the game on the 335 2.0 i4 turbo vs a 3.0 N/A 300hp I6....then our JB5 328's will put those 335's to sleep

Not really, there are certain platforms that are shared but this is not necessarily the case.
This is like saying a Rolls Royce is a 3 series. VWAG like most\all large manufacturers share numerous platforms within their lines. I thought you were from Germany and would have some inclination of this. Last edited by DTM-R13; 05-11-2011 at 05:51 PM.. |

My guess would be for the cars to launch in US as a 328 / 335 combination
328: 4cyl N20 335: 6cyl N55 The rumored 3-Cylinder turbo is going to be the interesting factor, is the '318i' name going to make a return in the US? And hopefully some kind of 335'is' edition is developed going into the future as well, its pricey but I liked the concept. I'm assuming they would do the same as they did for the E90 and produce such a car after the M3 in order to pump up the 3-series line a little. |

Here's some info from a German forum,
http://www.f30-forum.de/board1-f30-f...ionen-zum-f3x/ So most models seem to get a 4cyl turbo engine I think this new engine is going to be nice, think I'd wait a year though before getting one. About Mercedes, received the brochure for the new C-Class Coupé in the mail yesterday, C180 and C250 are 1.8l 4cyl turbo engines, C350 is a 3.5l V6 and if you want to go V8, the C63 AMG is the way to go. Surprising to me is that Mercedes doesn't seem to be keen on downsizing their AMG model yet?
