What new model would you buy?

stressdoc · 08-22-2005, 03:46 PM

What potential new model(s) would be best for BMW NA to bring in, i.e., which would you be most likely to buy? I left out the M3 because I assume that is a certainty. I guess the coupe and convertible are also sure bets, but I would be curious to see how they fare against the other options.

335i (turbo)
335i E91(touring)
330i E91
Diesels (e.g., 330d)
Coupe (E92)
Convertible
323i
All the above (wish I could figure how to allow multiple choices on the poll)

M3 M3 M3 M3 or a 335i if that rumor is actually true and the power specs are at or above 300hp

Ed_330i · 08-22-2005, 03:50 PM

yes I would get one of those too actually.. that seems like a reincarnation of the old M-coupe. Rumor has it the 130i does the nurburgring faster then the porsche boxster...

BellasBmw · 08-22-2005, 04:56 PM

M3 hands down..

Oz · 08-22-2005, 04:59 PM

I'm pretty happy with my 330i at the moment but I would probably get an M3.

Pangearox · 08-22-2005, 05:58 PM

I will trade in my 330 as soon as the M3 comes out FOR SURE!.

davinet78 · 08-23-2005, 05:54 AM

i am personally a diesel fan, as the torque and fuel consumption a diesel car gives cannot be matched by any petrol car. The engine noise of the diesel is forgiven when you get that amount of pulling power on the car compared to the petrol version, but if all of the above versions become available to the us then that will give people the option of buying what they really like and not be limited to what they only have available there

4 door M3 and I will be on the list to replace my 330.

voltron1011 · 08-23-2005, 07:18 AM

335 Diesel (if they made it)..... Twin turbo diesel with almost 500 lbs/ft of torque. Or, I'd settle for 330d....

kchika · 08-23-2005, 01:19 PM

I'd like to see the return of the 4-door M3! :rocks:
