NOW THAT IS REALYY OFICIAL! GOOD JOB DV!!!

328i, 328xi @230hp
335i@ 300hp

I guess there is no 323.

So it looks like the US will be getting the 328, 328xi and the 335. Not the 325, 330, 335 as in Europe (as people have been speculating for some time).

It will be interesting to see where they price the 335, if the coupe truly is moving upmarket.

Also, let's hope that the ~270 hp 3.0 liter N52 that the Euro 330 coupe has will show up in the 330 sedan in the US this fall. What do you guys think?

In the Uk the 335i SE Coupe is about £33000 OTR and for comparison the 330i SE Saloon is £29170.

That puts it at roughly 4k more than an E90 330i sedan, which would put the base MSRP of the E92 335i coupe here in the states at just under 40k, which in turn, would make it roughly 2k more expensive than the current E46 330Ci.

Not bad... not bad at all, if you ask me, considering what you're getting!

Watch out IS350, here come the new inline 6 with 300 ponies and 300 torques....sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

This is all very interesting. Somewhat hidden in the fanfare over the coupe's sexy new styling is the news that the normally aspirated 3.0 liter gets a bump to 270hp. This means either:

a) The 2007 U.S. 330i sedan stays at 255hp.

b) The 2007 U.S. 330i sedan gets the 270hp Euro version of the N52.

c) The 2007 U.S. 330i sedan becomes the 335i sedan with the turbo engine.

My guess is "b".

Nice move on BMW's part.....that's how MB handled the new S-Class.

[06E90Rostik]

I think that is the Euro version, the lincense plate...

If its option 'b', then 272 Euro hp equates to about 268 U.S. hp.
Its possible.........

300lb-ft torque! Sweet!

yep, i noticed that too. wish they did that for the e90. just paint it and you're done.

[BKsBimmer]

Well I'll be damned ... the styling is growing on me already!

... and xDrive in the coupe! Lovin that!

[inTgr8r]

No it's from the USA site...they just left the plate.
It's a PS'd version of the pics on the international site

Here's both pics.....

[kdan]

That is awesome news. Its like they listened to the enthusiasts for once...

B is actually the least likely. Take a look at the specs for the 328i coupe:

"3.0-liter dual overhead cam (DOHC), 4-valve inline 230 horsepower, 6-cylinder engine with composite magnesium/aluminum engine block, Valvetronic system"

Valvetronic, no DI. The 270 hp Euro 3.0 has DI. It wouldn't make sense for BMW to sell the 330i sedan with DI and leave the 328i coupe out in the cold. Even without having sources or talking to people in the know, it seems likely that the sedans will generally follow the trends being shown here with the coupe: 328/335

Re: the 323. I personally have always figured the 323 as a sedan only model. We'll have to wait a bit to see what the deal is there.

Anyone else notice that they posted 5.3 0-60 for the manual and 5.5 0-60 for the automatic!

I would have guessed 5.5 0-60 for the manual and about 6.0 0-60 for the auto. I want one!

Its a new option...to add more funtion to i-drive, you can now steer the car using one hand-wrist movements. Its designed to appeal to younger buyers who are comfortable with this type of interface/control from years of video gaming. BMW is calling it their Comfort Drive System...in the heels of Comfort Access
