Jacking up the price $1k and including automatic as a "no cost" option is still BS.

How about manual transmission drivers get a $1k discount?

Thanks, Jason. As Judd pointed out above, there's a typo in the X3 section: sDrive35i should be xDrive35i.

Why? 5 seat option for an already cramped back seat? Seems pointless IMO.




I would love to see a 535d!

Even if its shown privately does that means we still won't get to see at least 1 photo of the finish product.

Privately as in not to the public. But it will be shown to the press, so expect to see the full finished production F30 next month, inside and out. Think of it as an online reveal.

If this is the case, BMW ought to be kicked in the butt. Bluetooth now standard on many lesser cars. Hands-free cell phone use while driving is now the law in many states with more to follow. This is a safety issue and costs practically nothing to provide. It should be standard and this should be a no-brainer for BMW. They look foolish and cheap if not provided as standard equipment.

No, I traded in my 08 e90 right before warranty was up. in the last 3 months of warranty I had HPFP, 3 injectors, DVD, interior trim and 1 headlight replaced. It adds up pretty quick. Make sure you get a CPO at very least. Love the cars bur they are costly to repair.
