Mechanically, there may be some significant changes, including a longer and wider body – resulting in more interior space, and, along with a new chassis, improved handling -- as well as more power. The 300i will reportedly get a boost from 225 horsepower to more than 250 horsepower, and the 325i may get more than 215 horses. A simplified version of the I-Drive may also make its way to the 3, but as an option. Overall, it looks like BMW is intent on keeping the 3 relevant to shoppers who are continually upping the ante when it comes to space, convenience and power. If the brochure contains accurate information – look for the 3 to be a hit. We'll provide more information about the '06 BMW 3 Series as it gets closer to launch, so stay tuned...
