BMW traditionally uses a 7 year cycle, so 2012 or 2013 should have a
re-designed 3 series.

As Erik pointed out, the 3 will be "refreshed" for 2009. Slight changes to
the hood and a change to the tail lights in the sedan (thank God) among
other, less subtle, things.

The 335d *should* also be available.

The coupe & convertible are supposed to remain unchanged.

A noticable improvement, IMO.  I never liked the E90 sedan's
front-end, with the "flat-lined" upper section of the kidneys...  This
brings the sedan more in line with the coupe, which is a good thing.

I agree completely.

I would not buy a new 3 series until they got the tail lights straightened
out. I don't usually care much what a car looks like or what color it is (as
long as it isn't blue), but those tail lights were butt ugly and a deal
breaker with me.

The best description I have heard of the E90's design was "awkward".

And a somewhat revamped iDrive/Navigation system.

A significantly revampted iDrive.

My order for a 330d MSport is in.

0-62 in 6,1 secs.
