I'd still go 335i all the way - better brakes, better sound, and still more powerful with headroom available. The 4-cylinder just doesn't interest me. In any event, I'll be getting an F32 coupe in...

Probably not. BMW and many other manufacturers don't do this on purpose because the measured tire pressure of course varies based on temperature. If the software doesn't display a corrected...

The F30 335i not only has larger rotors but also larger fixed calipers versus the sliding ones on the 328i. This wasn't the case on the E9x (the '35 just had larger rotors), so I'd expect the...

Mossman is right. Since those lights illuminate the front corners, it helps you see that pothole/pole/child you're about to swing the front end into when backing up.

It's one of those "why not?"...

The 335i is really the first non-///M 3-Series model that substantially widened the power/acceleration gap in the lineup. Prior to that the 325i/330i, 323i/328i, etc. were usually no more than a...

Agreed, though comparably-equipped a 335i coupe is only about $1500-1800 more than a 335i sedan (the $3000 difference in base price is partly due to more standard equipment on a 335i coupe). That...

I haven't heard anything new actually, I was being facetious. Quite frankly I'd be surprised if BMW does split the Series. The 3-Series name is legendary and a sales leader. Adding a "new"...

I couldn't disagree more about the N55 vs N54. I was initially very skeptical on the N55, coming from having owned 2 N54s. But I'm sold on the N55, huge difference. It's smoother, revvy-er,...

HP is actually the same at 320, it's the torque that's different - 332 lb/ft for the AT and 317 lb/ft for the MT.

Personally I still think it's worth it. I had my car for a week in Germany...

+100

It's absolutely terrible that any company would support organizations that seek to deny other citizens' basic civil rights.

Is it actually shutting off or does it just "pulse" (fan drops to a low speed) occasionally for about a second?

If BMW followed his advice they would no longer be in business. So I'm glad they didn't and instead evolved with the times and remain a powerhouse of an independent car company.
