Guys, I think that the very fact that this topic has so much disparity tells the story. There is obviously a market for a 300 hp 3 Series. At the same time there are lots of us here who are very happy with the current 330.

Given the fact that the 3 Series sales volume is growing at a rather quick pace, I think it would be pretty stupid of BMW not to offer 3 versions of the sedan, because they would be taking more of a chance losing buyers if they only kept 2 models available.

I think what PeterE60M5 saw bears out the truth about the Coupe: Rather than use a "4 Series" as a Coupe, BMW just decided to re-badge both cars as 328 & 335 and use that model to showcase the new engine. Since there is a smaller market for the Coupe, they need not use 3 versions.
