So I start looking around their website, and everything except the OP link says 235hp, not 255hp. Is it a typo or something?

EDIT: The rest of the website has the old 3. Doh.

WHAT THE F*** is wrong with BMW...I thought their goal is to sell a car people want to BUY? The 3 series (with the exception of the M3) is a poser's car, the least you can do is make it look good...

That isnt a 3 series its a fvcking grandam. I would rather keep my e30 and make it look like this. Or I would rather have this. I mean those cars actually have some style. Not this bangled BS. BURN IN HELL BANGLE YOU RUINED MY FAVORITE CAR COMPANY!

You're an idiot. The 3 series has been a benchmark for sport sedan performance since it's inception. Not to mention a nice 330ci costs around $43k. Nothing 'poser'ish about that. They're awsome performers too.

Oh my...take a look at the videos section, the first viedo shows the person shifting and the iDrive interior. Is that a long throw shift to me or what?!?!?

I don't hate the new desing, but I'm not overly sold on it yet.

And of all the wonderful colors, why silver?!?!??!?!?! WHy oh why does a bmw have to be silver?!?!??!?

yeah, the 3 series accounts for more than 50% of bmw's annual sales.

When I was shopping around I was at Autobahn BMW in Ft. Worth, and aside from looking at a 540i (*tear*) I got in a 330ci. It was silver. I said, you sure have a lot of silver cars on this lot. The salesman said that Silver is the most popular BMW colour, beating out red by twice as many sales.
