Q: new bmw 3 series in forza 2??
In one of the forza motorsport 2 trailers it shows that you can have the 2006 bmw 3 series. but in the actual game, the 2006 bmw 3 series is actually a 2001 bmw 3 series. even though it says the model of the car is a 06 model. why is this??
A: Because the trailer is meant to attract people to the game so they buy it. There are lots of things the trailers for this stupid game shows but can’t actually do in the game.
Forza 2 sucks. Even gran turismo 4 on ps2 is better than forza.
Q: About how much is a new transmission for a 2000 BMW 3 series?
Looking into buying a BMW but it needs a new transmission and i was wondering about how much would that cost for the transmission and installation?
A: Go to the links shown below. All 2000 323i/is had a defective part in their auto transmission causing them to fail as early as 80,000 miles.
BMW replaced my transmission for $7,000, but charged me $3,500 for it.
Besides transmission issues, this model year also suffers from structural problems involving rear subframe separation.
Also, the front suspension towers would mushroom (bulge up) over time, making it impossible to align properly.
This is just 3 of the more major issues connected to this model year… there’re tons more.
VERY BAD deal, don’t buy it. This is a very bad model year.
Q: What do you think of this new BMW 3 series?
It’s called the 320d SE Efficient Dynamics and does 68.9mpg (combined), has 163hp and 265lb/ft torque. 0-62mph takes 8.2secs. Impressive? I think so.

If you’re in the USA or anywhere else not in Europe, do you think this car would sell where you are? Would you buy one if you were looking for a bmw 3 series or similar? Yes – maybe they would have to make a few modifications for US regulations, but just assume that could be easily done. And it’s only available as a manual… although BMW do have an 8 speed auto coming soon that works with stop start technology.
just interested in other people’s thoughts really. I think it’s really impressive how much they have improved both power and fuel economy over the last decade. 9 years ago the 320d only managed 136bhp and 49.6mpg, so they’ve gained 25bhp and almost 20mpg, as well as the car being a little bigger.
I disagree about the C-Class, looking at their NCAP crash test scores, they’re pretty similar on safety. And its not cheaper either, compared to the standard 320d se, an equivalent model would be a c220 cdi blueff. elegance, which costs about the same (www.whatcar.com target price) and is less powerful, slower to 60, and rated a worse car overall. If you pay an extra £1000 you can get the C250, which is more powerful and faster but more expensive.
A: i think it is excellent

A: absolutely love it – I do think it is an amazing car too; I’ve written a letter to Santa already. It got a 5* star review by Exchange and Mart which is pretty amazing – not many cars get the full 5 stars! The only thing negative to be said about it really is the options are very expensive on it, so we all better get playing the lottery! If I did have the opportunity to own this car though, I would definitely go for it – hope that is a help
Q: 2009 BMW 3 Series New Body?
I was looking online and it seems as if BMW is going to change the 3 series. Do you think the tape on the cars is just to throw off the auto spies? The tail lights look very small… PLEASE HELP.
*I know it is getting a full new body in 2012, so why would they change it in 2009 also?
A: BMW make these small facelifts so that they can keep the customers buying their cars. It is a way of making the buyers think they are buying the completely new series of that car What they are actually doing is making small changes after each time interval until they release the whole new design. The tape makes it hard for the auto spies to dertermine what the car looks like. It basically covers up the curves of the car. It is also so changes to the design can be made without spies knowing what they’ve changed (since they don’t know what it looked like in the first place).
Q: Is there a better looking sport coupe nowadays than the new 3 series BMW coupe?
A: Absolutely not!!!! The new 3 series coupe is the best sport coupe on the road. The old 3 series coupes were also the best looking and fastest. BMW Rocks!!!
Q: if i put aside 3 grand for maintence repairs on a fairly new bmw 3 series would that be enough??
im going to buy a bmw 3 series 07 with prolly like 30 thousand miles on it.. i want to know if it will be breaking down a lot and i will have to drop a thousand bucks every time something goes wrong. are they reliable and how much does the average repair cost for a bmw give me a price pleasee is it 100 dollars or 1000 dollars.. please give me prices dont just say its really expensive. thank you
A: I have an E46 M3 2002 63000 miles and have had only minor problems with it. Everything has been covered by the warranty and then the extended maintenance program. That’s 6 years that it hasn’t cost me anything except the $1200 or so for the extended maintenance program. It covered about $1800 in maintenance costs that I would have had to pay if I didn’t have that program. From here on out it’s all my cost. But that’s just maintenance. Nothing major has broken. The sunroof broke, but it had a TSB for it. The radio was replaced, no big deal. Basically if you buy one more than 3 years old it’s going to have already had the little things go wrong and get fixed.
I did have a dead O2 sensor early in it’s life, but hey O2 sensors are not car dependent, could have happened to any car. I have not spent a dime on repair or maintenance in 6 years.The only repairs I’ve paid for were my fault, like when the chunk of snow fell off a semi in front of me and I hit it. Or the numerous cones I’ve hit while autocrossing that broke the front fender liners, or the rear bumper and 1 exhaust tip when I backed into a light pole. Recent dead battery issues were the result of an aftermarket (Blitzsafe) adapter for an Alpine CD changer. Oh yeah I did pay $30 to a junk yard for a new HVAC controller. The little fan inside quit working which samples the cabin air. It’s been a really good car.
Q: How long will the new face of BMW 3 Series be in the model??
For how many years do you think BMW will have this face. Until which year will it change it??
A: 2026
Q: Can you get a bmw navigation installed in a new 3 series that doesnt currently have one? same with a sound sys
I want to buy a 06 3 series that doesnt have those features with it, was wondering how I could get those?
A: If i were you, I would get an aftermarket nav+soundsystem rather then going through all the trouble of getting an oem. OEM is very expensive compared to what an aftermarket offers nowdays.
Q: Should I buy the new Audi A5 or the new BMW 3 series Coupe? And why?
A: They are both gorgeous. Lucky you .
================================================
The A5 will be offered with two gas engines, the new 1.8T FSI that produces 170bhp and a 3.2L FSI V6 that makes 265bhp and 243 ft-lbs. of torque. The TDI motors include a 3.0L oil burner making 240bhp and 369 ft-lbs. of torque and a smaller 2.7L mill making 190bhp. It appears that only the 2.7L TDI is front-wheel drive only, while the other three models are available with quattro all-wheel drive. All models of the A5 will come with a standard six-speed manual transmission, while the 3.2L FSI and 2.7L TDI models are available with Audi’s CVT transmission called multitronic. One can also choose an S-line sports package for the A5 that makes it look the part of a performance coupe. Unfortunately, Audi made it clear in its press release that no TDI models will be made available in the U.S.http://www.autoblog.com/2007/02/23/audi-releases-official-info-on-a5-s5-with-new-images/
=======================================
Of all the cars BMW’s engineers get to fling around the Nürburgring test track, we would guess the star of our latest video is one of their favorites. It’s the 2008 BMW 3 Series coupe and it’s headed for U.S. showrooms sometime in the next 12 months.
Like the 2006 BMW 3 Series sedans, the coupes built their reputation on delivering perfect balance, exceptional steering and suspensions that can make a hero out of anybody. Great engines have always been part of the mix as well, and the next generation of 3 Series coupes won’t disappoint. They’re likely to make use of BMW’s latest line of straight-six engines, so expect to see both 325Ci and 330Ci two-doors in the lineup with 215 hp and 255 hp, respectively.
============================
You have to sit inside and get the feel from the inside. One of them will feel right for you.
From the pictures-the BMW was gorgeous. One shade of cobalt blue that was used did not look all that attractive, but all the other black, silver and platinum were nice.

Q: should i buy bmw 07 3 series sedan barely used or the new 3 series hardtop convertible 10,000 miles on?
im not sure about the bmw 3 series hardtop convertible because i live in jersey and im not sure about the snow in the winter if it could leak threw the roof if i get snow on the roof.. and can water come threw the hardtop covertible if i bring it in a car wash? answers would be wonderful i dont wanna throw away my money
A: The hardtop convertible is a much better choice as long as you don’t plan on taking the car to the track… it is still a convertible and will not be as stiff as a coupe. It gives you great flexibility and I think you will enjoy the convertible more than you imagine in NJ… good convertible weather in NJ. Sweet car. Good luck. It won’t leak… don’t give it a second thought. If it were to leak it is under warranty for 4 yrs/50k and they would fix the problem right away. It is a non-issue.
Q: Which new 3 series BMW has a Bi-Turbo option?
A: A friend of mine drove the 335ci at Pocoono raceway and loved it – said it was better than any M series car out there…
I saw a 335i the other day at a car club meeting – what a beauty!
The reviews are in on the turbo – and they seem to all be good!
Q: Should I go for used 2003 BMW 3-series sedan or New 2008 Toyota Solara Coupe ?
I love BMW, but both the cars mentioned cost almost the same.
which is more reliable ? and which one will be more fun driving ?
A: Once you drive a German car,nothing else drives better but the question is:can you afford to maintain the BMW?
After selling cars for 11 years in US and 5 years in Europe and I own a BMW , I will say that Toyota will be a better choice for you.
It is newer,under the factory warranty,better resale value and way lower to maintain.
Q: Would you rather have a BMW 3-series or the new Mercedes C-class?
I like the BMW because of it’s performance but it’s just so common. which would you have?
A: BMW
seems to me the lower priced BMW is a much better car than a lower priced MB.
if you put any stock in Consumer reports at all notice several BMW’s are recommended while none from MB.
Q: new bmw 3 series pro and cons?
A: Pros: Great car, fast, good looking, comfortable, best in class gas mileage, even though its expensive it has EXCELLENT value for money, Satellite navigation is good, auto-dimming mirrors are nice, xenon headlights are superb, swiveling headlights are very useful and reliable,has a lot of cool extras, luxurious, you can drive it and not be deemed a cock, it’s a BMW. Ride comfort is amazing even at 120 mph, its more comfortable at 120 than my kia is at 70, no lie. Road holding, and handling is good, gives you a sense of safety when in it/driving it, it is safe. Small but there’s a lot more head and leg room in the front than it looks like, good sized trunk, and the new hood makes it look muscular. I-Drive isn’t near as bad as it is made out to be, it was actually very simple for me to figure out. Impressive AWD system, cup holders really aren’t that bad, neither is the stereo, and the transmission (auto or manual) is also very impressive. Also a lot of cool car monitors to look at in the i-drive, and all maintenance is covered for the 1st 4 years/50,000 miles except tires which is nice.
Cons: Not a lot of room in the back if you are 6 foot like me, extras can get pricey (like leather, sat nav, and auto transmission), after rides longer than 2 hours the seats make my back ache (easy fix though, i just adjust the lumbar support and turn on the heated seats), if you run low on gas (satellite navigation or not) all the clocks disappear, its easy to go fast without realizing it, and the car makes a annoying bleeping noise from the second you turn it on till you put on your seat belt
Overall superb car and i would definitely recommend it, i drove the competition and they can’t compete. The only thing that even gets close is the Mercedes C-class and Audi A-4, but i’d still have my three series over them any day. If you are looking to buy it, do it! The 2011 is just so much better than my 2007 3-series and 2009 5-series, for all the pros i put above and just for something else i just can’t put my finger on
