If there is a 335 sedan for 2007 and they want $4,000 more than the 2006 330 that would be ridiculous. 4 G's for approx. 50 bhp and 75 lb/ft of torque?

[arbitrage]

So can someone explain why a 330i sports pkg which gets you new wheels, seats, steering wheel and suspension is the same price as a 335i sports pkg that gets you only seats and tires.WTF Is BMW ripping us off or what!

[arbitrage]

And why is the premium pkg 200 more when it gives you the same thing. I mean is this always the case between sedan and coupe because I will pay a premium overall for a coupe but not pay more for the exact same crap thats on the e90.

[THE JEDI]

WOW BMW IS GONNA SELL A TON BUT I CAN SEE THE 330ci at about 42,000 with some options if them greedy grubby pawed dealers keep jumping the prices I can't see bmw keeping it core customers

I was wondering about this myself, actually. The sports package on the E46 coupe was much cheaper than the sports pack on the E46 sedan, since the coupe already included the suspension.

hello all

It is hard to take this military price sheet seriously with all the disclaimers and caveats.

Have these sheets proven accurate in the past for other cars?

…..Also, is there a military discount for options or only on base price?

I feel sorry for the person who believes this attachment.

Those prices are wild guesses, and nothing more. It will not be $42k+.

Did anyone notice the 328 was priced at $33,300.00? Using this silly $4k logic, it would price the ENTRY-LEVEL coupe at $37,300.00, or about $5,000.00 over the car its replacing, and only $300 shy of outgoing 330 Coupe (which had among other things upgraded wheels, seats, stereo, bmw assist, etc). Come on guys, get serious.

In short: The 328 Coupe is not going to cost $1000 more than 330 Sedan. And from this I conclude the entire document is

I-drive, fold-down rear seat, SAT, CD Changer and Bluetooth preps are also included as standards.

[Kalin]

Brett, you caught me! It's a govn't conspiracy! I am prodding the military sales people to see where they arrived at the pricing, whether it was dictated by BMW or their best guess from information that has been provided.. I also asked about the lack of a MSRP and if BMW is trying to decide how much the domestic market will bear. In either case this is a pretty big jump from the E90.

And for the person who asked about historicals with military pricing.. this is the first time I've seen a sheet prior to the US MSRP being released, so I can't comment. But PCS has been around for a while and works directly with BMW.

[sward]

Both 328 and 335 have iDrive as standard. But on the official pictures from BMW there are several interior pictures showing the car without iDrive. One actually hade Idrive knob but no screen.

OK, there could be different standards between USA and here in Europe and the pictures could be of the european 325 but my conclusion is that I don't trust these documents.

[THE JEDI]

it just like the 5 series with the I drive standard but instead of navigation being included it will come with Entertainment, car data, climate communication....but if ya get the nav, the car data will be under the push down on the drive nob in other words push down to get to the car data menu idrive is awsome.........complex and pisses ya off but man the women dig it in japan it has Tv already , yeah that right i can wacth tv, but when ya hit 15 miles per hour audio only

[THE JEDI]

Hey there is gonna be a 335 4 door sedan .....trust me I wouldn't lie to ya :rocks: and I just got my loan for my BMW , now what do i buy the coupe or the 335 sedan come on fellas help me out with this one , and color combo was thinking about silver with the Terra Cota what ya

[THE JEDI]

hey bret he's dead on the base price for a BMW 325 thru military sales is 27100 and a 330 is 32500 wow ....don't hate if the mans got the inside scoop and aint ragging on ya bro, it's all love here

[NuovoTech]

But on the official pictures from BMW there are several interior pictures showing the car without iDrive. One actually hade Idrive knob but no screen

Not exactly, all the E92 interior fotos I've seen show an iDrive knob, what's different is not all have the Navigation System(609). So possibly that means BMW will include iDrive as standard equipment on the USA E92, with NavSys(609) as an option? This would explain the mystery of the iDrive knob in some shots without the NavSys dash monitor hump.

Hasn't this been done in the past...would that mean the iDrive knob would control gauge LED readouts, or would it go thru the radio LED readout? I have not paid much attention to the iDrive controversy since I never wanted NavSys option.

Any feedback from the oldetimers here on the pros/cons of iDrive would be very interesting, especially what it does outside of NavSys?

PS: I was writing this while THE JEDI answered my question somewhat...

[THE JEDI]

Pro of the Idrive is that all the future high tech wizz bang convo creations will be introduced and I think they are gonna be second to none , Con is well ya just drive a sleek ass BMW without it, which in itself is a convo starter , but man would it suck if the girl of ya dreams walks out of ya car and the last thing she tells ya is...."Love the car, but man if it had the idrive I'd be yours" yes i'm crazy but hey it's me

Those were mock-up pictures. Not the actual interior shots. Plus i-drive does not equal SAT/NAV. That option is not included with i-drive unless ordered as an option.

That's right. I forgot the name.

Did you happen to notice that it also says the 335 has no speed limiter? That's pretty cool. Although I've only actually bounced off mine once here in Germany, so I'm not sure how useful that is. Still it is kinda cool.

BMW Military sales works directly w/ BMW AG. The prices are 100% accurate. You obviously know nothing about the MSP.

[Kalin]

You can base your financial plans off these prices, but I wouldn't be surprised if some of the line items in options / standard equipment shifted around.

And they obviously don't know that the 328Ci and the 335Ci do not exist. How can you trust the prices when they don't even get the name of the car right.

Unlimited top speed?

[stressdoc]

The prices are legitimate and provide a clear indication that the MSRP for the 335 E92 will be $41,600 ± 300, the 328 36,900 ± 300. Not sure if this includes destination fee or not. If not, subtract about 700.

As per an old thread, no speed limiter does not mean no speed limiter, it means you get the 210kph/130mph limiter removed and go to the default 250kph/155mph limiter.

JSpira could probably tell us what the inclusion of the I-drive indicates in terms of the computing issues for the E92. I would hope that this indicates that all BMWs are getting I-drive and the more advanced CCC. One would think that it would make things easier to have the same CCC in all models.

[deadfresh]

Does it also indicate that I-Drive will be standard on the 335i like it is on the 5 and 7?
