Any info/pics of 2009 328 sedan/coupe?

[nimsu]

Pretty sure i'm going to buy a 2009 bmw 328, but was curious if anyone knew what difference there were between the 08 and the 09?

[Safetywork]

I've only read about rumors that BMW may upgrade the existing n52 motor with direct ignition boosting the hp & increasing fuel economy. Not sure if this upgrade will show up as a '09 though.

[nimsu]

thanks safetywork.. figured there would be more news/pics.. doesn't it come out in August or Sept?

[Safetywork]

I've only read about the information but can't remember where I read it. Like more manufacturers, they tend to keep information on upcoming models a secret - wouldn't want to hurt current product sales.....

Thanks guys.. Let me ask this in a different way then... Do we know when the e90 is scheduled to have a major makeover? Even ballpark year?

[mryakan]

major makeover as in brand new design? If so, then not before MY2012 I'd say.

I tried to black out my inner tail lights (like in the pic below) using vinyl but I failed :(http://www.themotorreport.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/bmw-3-series-2009-rear.jpg (http://www.themotorreport.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/bmw-3-series-2009-rear.jpg)

Loving those LED's in the front headlights now.
Rear lights look 100x better too.

+1 those tails are hot. I should get vinyl to try and make mine look some what like those

Maybe I can buy the 09 e90 trunk lid and slap it on my car :ponder

[stormchaser]

prior to this one seem to show pics of a facelift for 2009? Is it true there are very few changes and does anyone know what they are other than the Deisel on the sedan. My dealer is saying possible wheel changes and sport package options.

[ss109]

There is a facelift as released by BMW. Your dealer is saying there isn't one so he can sell you a car now, not in 6 months.

Are they gonna bump the 2009 328 hp up a bit to match the 330i ?

[nimsu]

thanks guys..so i'm not 99% sure I'm going to buy an 09. Would there be any advantage to going to the dealership before they come out to purchase it? asking mostly from a price standpoint

[cemimms]

sweet, so a facelift means possibly a ZHP (peformance package) soon.....they could easily make one bad 335i ZHP

[JimS Z4 X3]

Check the BMW USA webpage. There is a press release and a set of images under the future vehicle section.

[greene08]

So does that mean the 7-speed dual-clutch tranny will be coming on the US spec 335i coupe? If so, I'm sold.

[redwood]

The press release says automatic only for U.S. 2009 MY 3ers. :(

So will we ever get the DCT?
I'm thinking of buying a 2010 for euro-delivery... I would love to have the DCT

[cemimms]

hahah, look at the mirrors on the facelifted e90.....they look like they mated the e90/92 side mirrors (which i love by the way), with the e46 coupe mirrors.....i think they should have just left the side mirrors alone, these look less aerodynamic....just my opinion though.
