No, it won't be obsolete... BMW has known about the required changes for some time. There will be changes. The exact details are very sketchy. People are acting very strange, there is a lot of pressure to keep things quiet.

I think blaming the change on CA is too convenient. I think there is more to it then that. I don't believe the law requires compliance until much later this year. What ever we find out about the 5 series in the next 45 days will tell us a lot. Quite possibly... it will tell us everything. :rocks: I'm still skeptical about the N51... and whether or not we will still get it as originally planned.

SpeedFrek, are you saying that there will be a 330i in addition to the 335i in 200? It is because I will wait for the 335i if they are going to drop the 330i in the mid-year of 2006, else I am going to order my 330i soon.

You let me know ! The Audi lineup: A4 - 3.2l V6(255h.p.) S4 - 4.2l V8(340h.p.) Bridging a gap RS4 - 4.2l V8(414h.p.) A6 - 4.2l V8(335h.p.) A8 - 4.2l V8(335h.p.) Q7 - 4.2l V8(350h.p.) Same 4.2 liter V8 tuned differently per application. In comparison my BMW prediction: 330 - 3.0l I6(255h.p.) 340 - 4.0l V8(3??h.p.) Bridging a gap (335) M3 - 4.0l V8 (4??h.p.) 540 - 4.0l V8(306h.p.) currently in Europe 740 - 4.0l V8(306h.p.) currently in Europe This 4000cc Magnesium and alloy composite, Double-VANOS V8 is the same V8 projected for the upcoming M3, tuned differently per application. A good way to make a new engine design worth the cost of development. So if we are not getting a turbo 335, (I do not believe that are) then what are we getting ??? |

WOW, gone a week and all hell break loose I've heard rumors for several months about a V8 3 series floating around Detroit.. as mentioned elsewhere. Next Friday is the "Black Tie" affair at the NAIAS... A chance to yet again rub elbows with CEO's and Chairmen of the auto industry. BMW always has someone of relative importance at the show. Now all I need is some sound tact and i'll have all the info we need by the 15th. but, as i was saying here and elsewhere (argueably) the 3 series will indeed have: 325 330 335 ///M If the M3 will have a Formula1 based V8 derives somewhat from the M5's V10 it will be a costly engine unless they can use the block for larger production runs such as a shorter stroke version (smaller liter) and stick it in a V8 powered 3 series. I guess speculations will run high for the next month or so... we'll see !! -Garrett |

Because the M3 will have essentially the same engine as the M5/M6... the development period is moving along very quickly.

There is a well known fact that M3 celebrates 20th anniversary 2006. Therefore BMW are preparing a M3 Coupe Concept which is expected to be shown in Geneva. In the worst scenario Concept will appear on "M3 family photos" only.
There are some indications M3 could come already in 2006 (German market!), since production of current M3 ends this Summer. |
