BMW ANNOUNCES PRICING OF ALL-NEW 2007 3 SERIES COUPES
07/17/2006

Features and Value are Significantly Enhanced
Woodcliff Lake, NJ - July 17, 2006... Arriving in US showrooms this September, the newest BMW Coupe once again sets the standard for design, luxury, and performance in its class. The 2007 3 Series Coupe will have a starting MSRP of $35,995 including destination and handling.

As is typical for BMW, significant enhancements to the standard features as well as the value of the new 328i and 335i have been made, compared to their predecessors. In addition, BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive will be available for the first time in a Coupe in the 328xi. While base prices have increased versus the outgoing versions, the new 3 Series Coupe models now include a substantial number of additional features including:
* More powerful engines (230 and 300 hp vs. 184 and 225)
* More differentiated styling from the sedan
* Xenon adaptive headlights with cornering lights standard
* Rear side head protection system (airbag curtain)
* Enhanced DSC benefits (including brake drying, brake stand-by, brake fade compensation, and start-off assistant)
* Enhanced interior ambiance lighting
* Run-flat tires with Tire Pressure Monitor

The 328i also receives the following additional standard equipment:
* 17" wheels and tires
* 6-speed manual transmission
In fact, compared to the top-of-the-line 2006 330Ci Coupe, the entry-level 2007 328i Coupe not only offers greater style inside and out, as well as a number of safety enhancements, it also offers even better performance - all for $2,500 less.

The list of options for all models now includes a six-speed STEPTRONIC automatic transmission. Option packages for both models represent even greater value with added content as well.

Ownership value has been enhanced with the announcement of BMW Ultimate ServiceTM , a suite of services that includes the BMW Maintenance Program (formerly called Full Maintenance) , Roadside Assistance, the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and BMW AssistTM with Teleservice. The new 3 Series Coupes will have BMW AssistTM available as a stand-alone option or as part of the optional Premium Package. As before, included with BMW AssistTM is Bluetooth hands-free phone connectively which includes hands-free access to your phonebook. Starting with model year 2007, BMW AssistTM will be provided for four years. Most other similar services cover only the first year of service.

The 2007 BMW 328i Coupe will be priced at $35,995 while the 335i Coupe, with its 300 horsepower twin-turbo inline six cylinder engine, will have an MSRP of $41,295. The new 328xi Coupe, with BMW's advanced xDrive all-wheel drive system, will retail for $37,795. All prices include a $695 destination and handling charge.

$40,600 never included destination.

The $41,295 I am assuming includes the 695 destination fee, whereas the 40600 did not.

No change in pricing from previous official info. Still heaven on wheels!

I guess I never noticed before, but it's good to see that BMW Assist will last for 4 years now, instead of 1. That's about a $600 savings for a buy or 4-year lease. That is, if you normally renew each year.

No. Heaven on wheels would be a car that looks like a Benz, drives like a BMW, weighs as much as a Lotus, has the reliability of a Lexus, and costs as much as a Pontiac.

Instead, we get a car that looks like a Pontiac, drives like a BMW, weighs as much as a Lexus, has the reliability of a Benz, and costs as much as a Lotus.
