I still think our older E36 ti's look better, but the availability of SMG on the new cars is pretty cool.

nice, but the tail lights arnt my cup of tea...how'd you like that schushey

I love the interiors of the new models. If you download the catalogue, you can see this really sweet blue leather trim interior. I also like the tan/yellow one in the media gallery, too.

My dream car would look like an e36 ti but have the engine and interior of the new 325ti. :yes:

I've seen this car on the road in Europe, but not in the states. Will it be sold here? And is it really that new? I assume it's an e46 (it sure looks like one), which, if I am not mistaken, is due to be replaced later this year.

325ti is a bad-@$$ little car though - 2.5 liter inline 6 and not a whole lot heavier than a 318ti. Torque ratings are very similar to adding a supercharger to our 1.9's.

On a somewhat related topic, whatever happened to the 1 series?

looks like a kia from the front and a civic Si from the rear...

Nothing athletic or aggressive looking about that design...kinda disappointing visually in my opinion...

Ack, the headlights are awful! :no:

Gimme one with e46 or e65 headlights, a 6spd manual, and the new 250 some hp 3 liter and Id get right in line. :biggrin:

the one series is going to stay in europe

isnt there also a 316ti in europe (obviously not coming to the states because of our hick mentality of BIGGER IS BETTER)

i like everthing about the e46 ti's exept that the headlights are wack

I saw several E46 ti's in Spain last week. Actually looks really good in person! I'd have one in a minute. The One Series is coming to the US but not until the two-door coupe is introduced. We'll probably get the same engine as the new E90 325i which is really a U.S.-only 3.0L just detuned with different intake and cams than the 330i. It makes 215hp/185lb-ft. torque. Both the 330i and the 325i have the new magnesium/aluminum blocks.

The 330i I drove revved to 7000 rpm and had valvetronic throttle. I assume all that will be similar in the 325i U.S. engine but I never got to see one. The 2.0d I drove, too, was really a hoot. Fast and fun and only a 4-cyl diesel.

i really wish that they brought the E46 compact to the states. :(
