BMW 335 xi ????

[KENT4.8IS]

Does anyone know if BMW is planning to make 335 as an xi coupe in the near future?

My son is getting his licence and getting my wife's A4 and we are starting to look for a replacement. I love the look and interior of 335i coupe, and from what I hear driving just knocks your socks off with those twin turbos.

Thanx.

A4, nice gift for a 16 year old.

335xi is suppose to come out in the Q4 2007 time frame.

From what I've heard, both on online forums and from my dealer, is that there will NOT be a 335xi coupe. Starting in March '07 production, a 335xi SEDAN will be offered, though. There are a bunch of changes for the March 07 3-series.

My dealer and a lot of forums said there will be a 335Xi, dealer said by summer. Let's see if they're right.

I read that statement to mean that a manual transmission would be available on SULEV models.
