Anyone seen the 2006 330i

What a sweet car, was at the dealer today, trying a 2005 330Ci and got a look.

Awesome looking car.

Michael

Second that! A very nice car, and not all that expensive. Plus, it doesn't suffer from the newly-found design ugliness of the other BMW models. The company knows not to mess with its bread and butter.

Hmmm, I haven't seen the 2006. A friend just bought a 2005, said he'd seen the 2006 models, then compared that experience to the difference between a 1973 (2005 BMW) and a 1974 (2006 BMW) 911. Guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. I know BMW makes some fantastic machines...but these days, all new cars kind of look like jellybeans on wheels to me. Must be an aerodynamics/fuel efficiency thing?

What's this? Another knock against the mid-years?

Mid years??? Let's face it...the '74 thru '77 911 is just plain OLD...like the models before it.

I guess I'll reserve judgement until I see the real thing. The photos I've seen do nothing for me at all. Looks like .... well ... pretty much everything else on the road.

The hood looks really long and low.
