If the 335 is an addition to the line then $7500 is possible considering it’s a turbo. There is a $5700US difference between the 325 and the 330. So a ~$7500 bump from the 330 to 335 wouldn’t be unheard of. A slightly higher bump due to the increase engine technology with the turbo.

I hope your dealer is wrong. It would mean all those 328 claims are invalid.

If the make the 335 a 50K car, wouldn't you buy a 5-series instead?

I really see no point in getting a 335. I mean the reason people buy the 3 is cus of the handling and it's more affordable. I dont see the pt in buying a 3 series with more HP and faster 0-60 acceleration. When is anyone really need all 310HP?? If a 3's gonna cost $50k+, I would definitely go with a 5.

Ummm....

For the price of a fully loaded 330i ($45K) plus AWD and it's about 50k....you could get a 525i with a couple options.

I won't say much on this subject, as i can not, but Tine is wrong.

Agreed. What I was saying is that the 335 will, supposedly, have a base MSRP of $45k. It will cost a lot more than a 5 series.

Supposedly according to who? I've read pretty much every rumor regarding the 335 on the net and nobody has made that claim.

If anything, those who claim to have inside knowledge of the situation like SpeedFreak! has said that there would be a minor price hike from the 330.

Who was it that said his dealer said there will be a $7500 price diff. between a 330 and a 335?? I guess you missed that post then.

If that's true then $37k(330) + $7500+ 695= you do the math

You mean the guy on this thread saying some dealer, who'd been trying to sell him a 330 for "months" told him that? Cmon now. Let's be real. I hardly find what some sales guy trying to sell a 330 said to be credible.

Dude that's why I said "supposedly". Besides the whole point was "IF the 335 costs $50k, I would rather get a 5 series". So like I said, a 335 for $50k is not worth the money.

The way I see it, it sounds like BMW's approach to the sequential turbo set-up, although not new, is going to be somewhat revolutionary. If most other manufacturers are currently only using single turbos, then BMW's turbo is not only going to be more complex, but costly. Think about all of the R&D costs they'll be recovering since no other model of their's (that I know of) is going to be using this engine; at least not initially.

That being said, I can't see a 335 costing 50K, but on the other hand I can't see it costing only a few grand more either. And that's not even taking into account any of the other upgrades BMW will have to make to that car to keep it as well balanced as the rest of their cars.

haha calm down man, I wasn't trying to attack you or anything. I was just trying to point out (more to the general board) that there hasn't really been any credible info that the 335 would be that expensive.

My bad if it came off as an attack.

[jumpinjoe]

I thought the 335 would be coming to the 5 series as well. So if you want to lay out another 10 grand, you can have the same engine in the roomier sedan. If you want the v8 , then add another 10 grand, unless you can get a late model cpo.

haha I forgot to add a smiley face. I was just saying...

[canuck2]

I just ordered a brand new 325xi today and asked the salesperson about what will happen next year with the models and here is what he told me :

current 325i will become the 330i (same hp as current 325)
current 330i will replaced with the 335i twin turbo engine

it made absolutely no sense to me and I asked him to explain it like 3 or 4 times just to make sure I understood what he was saying.....he wouldn't get into specifics on pricing.

[seevemonka]

I agree,if there is going to be a 335 turbo,you know it will cost between 6,000-8,000 more.Which means it would be added to the line up.There is no way,that a twin turbo would be 1 to 2 thousand more.I've thought this from the beginning.

[NaTuReB0Y]

Who cares.......how can we judge the future when it's not here yet! Enjoy your 330i or 325i!

Take it for what it is worth given his motivation to either sell a car now or a more expensive one later.

He's probably reading our threads... regardless... he's full of sh!t.

Unless the dealer is only referring to the sedan being phased out a little later in the year. I couldn't imagine BMW would hold off on the coupe until after all other vehicles are released.

Normal BMW production always starts in Sept. they start to role into the dealer in October.

I assure you that as we come closer to the official information... you will hear all sorts of BS from the typical car sales guys who pull everything you can imagine out of their ass.

Avoid the Bull Sh!t... no wait... collect the Bull Sh!t and bring it here. Now that I think about it... this could actually get rather hysterical.
