Dont know- will have to see it in person. Looks good, but not sold on the new shape just yet.

Think the new design line, suits the 5 and 6 series, but for the 1 and 3 series just doesnt fit, but i can still change my mind :)

Just my opinion.

It will be the same story with the e90..... when they first came out not everybody was overwhelmed until the sports pack and M version came out

i sat in the 118i they had at JIMS this weekend, it didnt feel as premium as the prev versions, and lacked many features, but this was prob a base version

I'm just disappointed by the fact that BMW is not upgrading engine outputs on the 3 series models... I mean, you get the 116i at 100kw (thats good for a 1.6 motor) and 118i (tuned version of the 116i) pushing 125kw... but still get the same engines for the 335 and 320d??? :thumbdo:

I was at BMW Midrand on saturday (to check out the 118i) and I think they did a good job putting turbos across the board... Apparently (according the sales exec) the new 320i will have a 2.0 turbo motor.. which will obviously be better than the e90 320i (at 115kw). I suspect the new 320 will push 135kw+...

P.S: this is with exception of the 328i motor... which outputs 180kw on a 2.0 displacement.

Just my 2cents...
