It's not chrome. It's galvanized plastic - with ruthenium layer.

Still very classy, but much cheaper.

Metals are very expensive these days.

Dealers here have the info - but under embargo. Pre-ordering starts in late April. Then also their embargo ends. First deliveries in September 2006. Production starts in June 2006 - in May 2006 the E46 production ends.

Meaning: the car will be revealed at latest in late April, but usually the press release is out before pre-ordering starts.

All depends on E46 sales/orders - in January they were still good, so they delayed the E92 introduction: no E92 in Geneva - publicly.

There was an intention to show the car in Leipzig Motor Show & release PR on March 14. Today!!!

Let's wait and see.
