I'm cross-posting this... but I thought it might be of interest to a few people that the new 335xi and the rest of the 3 series produced starting in march will include 6 programmable buttons for the idrive/nav system (like the x5). This is not relevant to cars without nav.

as for the wheels...the sport package will come with 17" type 158 7 spoke wheels, sport steering wheel and seats. optional 18" 7spoke wheels will be available as an upgrade... perf. runflats only.

active steering is not available on the 335xi.... nor are the paddle shifters.

sonora will be gone, replaced by platinum bronze (the 'vert launch color)
barrique is replaced with barbera red (the same as the 6 series)
atlantic blue will also be available from the 'vert color pallet.

the ipod/usb adapter will be available as an option now... not just as an accessory so you should save some $ by avoiding install charges.

oh... and headlight washers are now standard on all 335xi models... no longer included in cold weather pack.

hope that info helps some of you people on the fence...
