New BMW 3 Series - Further Details wanted
Discussion
Hi,
I'm not a regular visitor to this site as (apologies) but I'm just not that into cars!
I'm really glad I found this site though when getting a company car (approx 3 years ago) as you directed me to a 320d, which I really do love.
I'm coming up to changing mt car and was considering an Alfa 159 1.9 JDTM as I think it looks nicer externally and I like the 'cockpit' for the driver, which I have in my present BMW but will lose in the newer model.
The only thing keeping me to a 320d (SE) is the running costs (tax and fuel costs), although it's a great car to drive - don't get me wrong. From the limited data I've been able to find on the Sept model some of the vehicles will be on a lower tax band and some will benefit from 59 mpg.
Are there any sites that have full details of emissions and mpg for the whole range - and also the spec details across the range would be good (e.g. what models have i-drive etc).
Any info or pointers the info I'm looking for would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Hi,
I appreciate that I may just be being impatient (apologies if this is the case) but is the reason for no responses either because:
I'm being stupid as should be able to find the info via Google (which I can't)
The information is not available yet as the car isn't released until Sept
or
I've offended the BMW owners by saying I prefer the look of the Alfa!

No offence but have you tried www.bmw.co.uk ?
Vee,No worries - no offense taken.
I've tried the site and they have not yet provided details, I was hoping that some industry insiders may have been able to collate the information before it's released to Joe Public!
Have a look on www.e90post.com for details.
iDrive is available if you spec the full nav syetem and now comes with full worlwide maps in 3D, POI's with loads of info, internet with a high res 1280x720 screen, and teh ability to download cds and mp3s to a hard drive.
It is very impressive.
59mpg?? I doubt it, but you will see 50mpg from a 320d manual.
Alfa does look nice, but I soon get bored of looks. I was the same about the cabin on the new 3 series after owning the older models but it is actually a much nice place to be when you get the car.

I'll have a look at that site later.
I haven't actually sat in a 'newer' model yet so probably can't 'knock it 'til I've tried it' and good to know you like it!
Whilst I do want to drive a nice looking car tbh the majority of your time is spent inside the car and it's not like the 3 series is that ugly from the outside anyway!
Cheers,
Ed
