A 15% increase that you think will occur makes absolutely no sense for all the reasons I have stated in the previous posts. Other than your feeling, what information (historical data, insider documentation) do you have to support your position? |

It will be more than that. Your cost model based on nothing but your own feeling. 'Most of us agree' - It is more appropriate that most of you 'wish' that is the deal. and, no way guys, BMW is not giving you a charity. Do you have one clue what is 310hp on a E90 means ? And, many here thought a 100 less power 325i can do their day job already I put a $500 bet with YOU, the 335i is not just 5% more than the 330i.

Think again, if we want to keep a car for 3+ yrs, what's new in the market is just non of our business any more. By the time, on the road, the 335i are really taking over 330i will be 2007 already. And honestly, I think the 335i is going to be a cry of the century. You have to wait much longer, to pay more and it is still much much slower than the M3 E46 , not to mention M3 V8 in 2006. It is not worth to regret.

I did not say my guess of 15% is based on any articles, documents, figures, did I ? User1 did not like people challenge his price model. And I would not bother to challenge his price model because that was BS. If you guys don't like 15%, you don't need to agree with me. Why you want to press me to provide document and evidence? Can User1 provide document and any evidence how the 335i will be charged? Yes. I twisted , so what ? Why I have to agree with you guys? You come from no ground to say the 335i is 5% more than the 330i. I still bet $500 and take you in , another $500. Okay?

5%, 15%, for 310BHP in an E90 i'd pay the difference. if you think about it, pretty much everyone who's bought a 06' 330i E90 on this forum probably could have bought a used 01'-02' E46 M3 instead, but they didn't because of the new design, features, or whatever, but not horsepower. All i'm saying is that much horsepower in an E90 is very appealing to people on this forum. and that probably at least half of the 06' 330i owners here would spring for the 335i even at a 15% increase in price. just my opinion

For the record all my conclusions are spelled out in previous posts. The 5% I used in one post was only an example using cntlaws rs4 priced m3 claim. As I have already stated in two previous posts (I feel like SpeedFreak having to repeat himself), I agree with others that the 335i sedan increase will be in the single digit percentages. For those that aren’t math whizzes a single digit percentage is 1-9% A 1-9% increase means a 335i sedan will cost 36966 to 39894. If we get NA engine it will be on the lower end of the scale and if we get turbo it will be near the higher end. As e904life posted, we all need patience. We’ll see in about a year when the 335i sedan prices are released. |

That's fine. Thx for explained. I was half joking. (you know that ) Not so much of the price issue, I really wanted to point out that 310hp E90 is entering the high performance territories of Porsche, AMG, M3.., E500 etc There is no free engine power. Examples, M3 E46 and C55 AMG were both priced around 60K with ~350-370hp. And now, for 400hp+, M3 V8 and Rs4 are 70K+. Not saying there must some correlation of power and $ , however, most of the time , it is. Have a nice day. cnt

you have great patience with a dumbasss like me My 330i will be delivered in Jan06, practically speaking, the 335i does not bother me too much because I had always been after a more fuel economy sporty car E90 325i (2.5 Litre). It was while adding my must-have options bi-xenon, adaptive steering, I said what the hell, let's get the 'top one'. So, it really is already a way overbudget buy for me this time. Logically speaking, I feel the same shhttt as some power hunger E90 owners who are seeing a bigger brother 310hp due to production. Even the 335i were on sale now, I was unlikely to get one because our tax rise exponentially. If it is 10% more in USA, it will be 'effectively' 15-20% more on us for our high local price. I must say, it is pretty tempting though for a close to M3 taste BMW street car first time in history. cnt

Nice diplomacy guys, well done. Hopefully we will all get a kick out of the new 335i, whenever and whatever its eventual composition and pricetag.
We had just @#$%^&* well better get what the Euro market gets here in the NA market! |

Does anyone think the price in the US will be higher if the US gets Turbo over a NA engine?
I'm guessing if the NA engine happens the increase will be lower than if the Turbo makes it to the US. Turbo means more R&D costs so a higher price. Plus a first year gasoline turbo could have a higher warranty cost to BMW. Thoughts? |
