No concrete dates on the when we are going to see them here in the states unfortunately. They are going to be 2009 models, so we're thinking at least 8-12 months before we can get them. I'm going to a big BMW event in Chicago this August and they are going to have the 1-Series there, so hopefully after that I will know more. They haven't released pricing yet either, it's still being figured out. I'll definitely be in touch and I would love to help your coworkers out as well, so feel free to send me their email addresses. And as I get updates I will pass them along to the three of you. Until then, enjoy your M3 and I'll talk to you soon! Thanks, Chad | I have 2 coworkers that are ready to put $ down on one too. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 07-03-2007, 01:42 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Quote: Originally Posted by adamud | BMW NA will never bring a 4 banger to the US again.

It looks like a Mazda 3 and doesn't have any features that really stand out. The hatch WOULD be much more functional though... __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 07-03-2007, 02:36 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Portland Oregon Posts: 1,363 | I love hatches....I will only buy hatched cars! | | | 07-03-2007, 02:54 AM | #9 | doesn't care about you.

That's just enough time to get the wife preggers and sell the child on the black market! I bet with some fertility treatments we could get twins and upgrade to the 135!* BTW, what is the price range we're talking about? * S A R C A S M __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 07-03-2007, 04:44 AM | #13 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Portland Oregon Posts: 1,363 | When I was in Portland me and my friend spotted one!

Everyone has huge SUVs, I can't imagine how awful that would be. SUVs wouldn't even see you in their mirrors! __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
