There'd be slight differences, though, right Ward? I'd guess that it would probably have a different front and back end, different exhaust, hood, ect...maybe a different interior?

Sheetmetal is a HUGE investment in tooling (like in the hundreds of millions of dollars). BMW will be getting at least 3 years out of the E90 sedan's current sheetmetal. Interior bit molds are slightly less expensive, but don't expect to see major changes at all. The point is, BMW doesn't change this sort of stuff often, aside from very minor production tweeks here and there. You'll see the mid-life refresh and that's about it... |

the 330 has all the same body panels as a euro 320, same nose, same bumper, same interior, I don't see why the alleged 335 would be any different.
the M3 should have a different body(slightly), but the alleged 335 sedan will be the same as every other 3 series sedan there is no chance in hell that BMW will revise the very succesful car that it's brought to market in less than 3 years |

Hmmm... probably not hundreds of millions, especially for just a subtle die change. But hundreds of thousands more likely. Still, expensive when you really can't get that much more premium for the car.

Add it all up, and BMW is building a whole new set of dies and that is a BUNCH of money. Hell, that is the biggest single investment a company like BMW makes in a moto vehicle's production cycle (next to the initial development costs). |
