Should I/Shouldn't I??

IanM3 · 05-12-2009, 06:25 AM

Firstly, sorry about the userid, apparently mine got changed and had the 3 added to the end and I don't even have an M3!

I haven't posted for ages due to work commitments etc. but I am now thinking about changing the touring for either an e92 335i (MT or DCT) or the same but e93. Here comes the question, I have read on world car fans etc. that the facelift for the coupe is due later this year hence the highline models etc. and I wondered what people's thoughts are with changing now and then BMW go and update the coupe within a few months?

I had the same issue when I bought the touring in July 2007 with BMW bringing out the ED models in the September so don't want to go through that again!

Many thanks
Ian

The coupé will probably get the facelift release mid next year? Some pics have started to surface. Its not very different though from what I've seen...

To be honest if its like the recent update to the E90 and E91 there isn't much difference and unless you 'know' you wouldn't notice the difference.

Get down the stealers and get yourself a new toy!

i know i wouldn't be able to wait until September next year for the updated E92.

Depends on which model you're talking about. The 330d was a massive update...new iDrive, new engine, better economy, significantly faster, slightly wider stance and what feels like redialled suspension

You can PM one of the admins and request your user name be changed.

i meant look wise not the things you mentioned as obviously its an improved car but to the average punter in the street it doesn't look that different and if they apply that to the facelift E92 it wont look that much different to the current E92
