North American Car Show

THE JEDI · 09-05-2006, 05:41 AM

What type of suprises do you think BMW will have at this years North American Auto Show...I think they will preview an M-3, and a possible 7 series, I would really like to see the new 2 series....but after seeing that Volvo and the A3...the hot hatch had better be just that.."hot".....and they had better not put a bullshit underpowered 2.0 four banger..

.I drove a 320 in japan the other day....shit was a damn dog on a serious leash...they cannot afford to make any mistakes in this market put the old 325i engine in it and call it a day ....

drop the horse to about 200hp....and oh yeah while i'm making my list M-edition right away.

I don't know but I know I will be at the charity preview and get some pics of whatever they have as well as lots of food and german beer at the BMW display.

:rocks:

I'm guessing they'll also have a 335i coupe with M-Technic body kit. Obviously the new X5 as well.
Though neither are really a suprise.

I'll be there during the industry-preview day.

ehhh I think the next big auto show is the Mondial de l'Automobile in Paris starting on Sept 30. The next big show in NA is the LA auto show in Dec, and the next NAIAS is actually in Jan 2007.

Rumor has it that the new M3 will be displayed at the Paris show, maybe in the concept show car form (fancy non-production paint, blacked out windows).
