AutoWeek is saying it arrives here in October, I can't see that...way too early after its worldwide debut.

Yep, way too early... And i think that Germany will get 'em 1st...

I think the 1er Coupe will be a hot seller. Personally, I didn't like the looks of both the E90 and E92 when they came out . This is me... I don't even want to mention how many people were dissing them, but a bit later, everyone and their mothers were driving one. As soon as real life pictures came out, more and more people were drawn to them. I have absolutely no doubt that the same thing will happen with this car. You can bet on it.

The tunability of this car is really mindboggling.

If this car really does catch on here in the U.S. and doesn't take too many 3-Series sales, BMW will indeed pass Lexus to become #1 in luxury brand sales.

May your words become true!

Holly Molly... It think I have missed so much since yesterday.. Now that is what I'm talking about, not those cheesy pics we saw earlier. Like it or not, this car will be a hit...

Well it has a real chance of becoming a reality. BMW isn't that far behind Lexus as it is and Lexus is really spent as far as new car intros for the next coupe of years, outside of maybe a IS Coupe/Convertible. The rest of their range is no more than 18 months also, excluding their SUVS. Their only big product intro will be the next RX, due next year as a 2009 model. We'll see what happens. I think BMW can do it.

Yes this car is a hit.

Small nimble lots of power i like the looks.

3 series is way to big to be a drivers car. This is it. The new 1 coupe.

Speaking of that, care to submit 2006 Lexus vs. BMW sales in US?

Thanks in advance!

On I know the convertible will do some real sales numbers here.
