If they can keep the MSRP under $60,000, it's a definite HIT!

Default Wonder if they can add even more stuff to break that will drive up cost....geez

BMW's recently unveiled brake energy regeneration system stores power generated on a trailing throttle and under braking, using it to top up the battery when required rather than drawing precious power from the engine to spin the alternator.

You'd be stupid to buy that car at that price when the RS 4 is right around the corner.

Default Surprising overhang in the front. Maybe their car's will plow thrugh the corners too!

I'm not knocking the RS4, but the 3-series is pushing the front axle back.
