New Generation 3 series model

dxb335d · 03-28-2010, 01:16 PM

A little heads up. Im sure some will already know but here is the dates of the next range of 3 series

''For the first time, there will be five different 3-series bodystyles. The four-door sedan, which will appear March 2012, touring wagon (Sep 2012), coupe (Sep 2013), and convertible (Mar 2014) will all follow the familiar 3-series formula. The newcomer to the family is the hatchback Grand Turismo version, set to appear in March 2013. The GT3 is much more lifestyle-oriented and sportier than the GT5. It has a deep and wide tailgate, but it is a single-piece unit rather than the heavy and complex two-piece hatch of the GT5, and there is more of a notchback silhouette to the rear end. In terms of height, the GT3 sits midway between the 3-series sedan and the GT5. ''

Hasn't time flown with the current E9X range.

no wonder why

I wonder if the M Sport will sell at the same time or be staggered as usual.

Like the sound of a 340d M Sport Touring in Sept 2012.

By the time that comes along I'll have grown out of liking BMWs and put on my Audi hat and praise the mighty DENZILS

NOT.

I don't think they will make the 3GT unless the 5GT sales pick up.

Problem is that the new gen 5 series is getting outstanding reviews.

Yeap, agree - the new 5er & touring asks the one question which would stop a normal* person buying a GT...i.e. "Why?"

* now we know there are a few non-normal people out there, as some X6 have been sold

toxicnerve · 03-29-2010, 03:38 AM

I think I'll hold onto the E92 for a few more years yet before changing...

I believe that some people may even have bought the X5M

MEGA · 03-29-2010, 05:43 PM

Well. Depends on if they will be as shit as the recent LCI E92, 5 GT, x6 and the new 5 series.

All are cack, imo, so, whats to expect better from BMW now.

REALLY hope I'm wrong. If BMW kill off the 3 series as well, then, gah well dunno what I will do !!
