Yup, that's why I am so confused too. There are many theories out there and BMW is holding its cards close. The CARB sheet mentioned above is informative but doesn't really tell us what BMW AG has up its sleeve. I am really thinking that the 330 will go bye-bye for MY '07.

Can I wait? Well, I can and I can't. My wife's car has a couple of buyers lined up and it's the sort of thing that we want to capitalize on to avoid advertising it, etc. If we sell it now we'll only have one car and that won't work. I would also like to get something soon so that we can get the most out of the tax write-off for this year.

I am waiting to hear back from the sales manager I'm working with. He said that BMW has not given them any information but he will try to find something out. I am now considering other options. I'm not keen on buying a 330 only to have it be a one MY car. I might even consider a 530 unless there is similar monkeying around with that model as well, as in a 535. Then there could be a 525, 530, 535, 550. That's a whole other can of worms.
