Well, believe it or not, BMW is already working on the next generation 3-series just as the new facelift E90s are coming out.
The 3 series accounts for about 44% of BMW sales, so suffice it to say its important and BMW has to get it right every time. BMW is taking its cues from the CS concept and will incorporate both dynacism and elegance all in one.
BMW will also go headstrong with their EfficientDynamics push with the 3 series and are planned to downsize the engine size across the board with increased use of turbos to keep the power levels high.
The next generation car is said to be revealed at the Geneva motor show in 2012.

I figured this deserved a new thread, but for those of you who own an N54 car and are familiar with the dreaded turbo lag issue cropping up from the 29.2 and above software, youll be delighted to hear the following…
Thanks to our friend Satch Carlson at Roundel who took my letter and others regarding the turbo lag, he was able to track down details on the problem and actually get BMW to admit the problem and announce a software updare.
BMWs official statement is below after Roundel threatened to run all of our letters (which I believe should STILL be run) — thanks Satch!!
“In an effort to address specific noise concerns, BMW updated the turbocharged engine software on 335i/xi and 535i/xi models built from June 2006 through March 2008. The … CONTINUED

We continue to inch closer, and I mean INCH, close to the full reveal of this car but the camoflague remains in a semi-nude setup. Atleast the photos themselves are becoming of much higher quality these days.

The BMW 7 Series is fresh onto dealers lots and BMW tuner Hamann is wasting no time at all and has already created fitments for the new F01. They assure us that more bodywork is on the way in the future, but for now their wheels are available in a multitude of sizes.

BMW North America is currently holding an online press conference for the debut of the new US spec diesel line-up. So far weve learned the following:
Pricing (which weve already posted about) is set at $43,900 (not including destination) for the base 335d, $2475 premium over the 335i with Steptronic or $3800 over a manual car. Likewise the X5 xDrive35d will also see the MSRP increase but to $51,200 (not including destination), a $4100 bump.
BMW looked at the D models as just one of the many ways Efficient Dynamics will show up in the US.
The US Spec engines have quite a few additions to make the engines quieter
Suspension and DSC has been tuned for each of the D models.
BMW will look at sales of each model and potentially look at bringing … CONTINUED

yesterday a bunch of texas e90post members got together in austin for a meet and drive through the texas hill country. i think i can safely say that we all had a blast and the roads were awesome. there were plenty of e9x m3s, some e46s, e60 m5s, an e39 5, and, our fearless leader for most of the time/keeping us honest, an e30 m3. personally, i logged over 600 miles for the trip and spent the better part of 12 hours in my car…and that was just on saturday. please note, im not a very good photographer. anyway, here are the pics…
