BMW traditionally uses a 7 year cycle, so 2012 or 2013 should have a re-designed 3 series.

As Erik pointed out, the 3 will be "refreshed" for 2009. Slight changes to the hood and a change to the tail lights in the sedan (thank God) among other, less subtle, things.

The 335d *should* also be available.

The coupe & convertible are supposed to remain unchanged.

They just got done introducing the E90 and E92 3 Series cars.

A noticable improvement, IMO. I never liked the E90 sedan's front-end, with the "flat-lined" upper section of the kidneys... This brings the sedan more in line with the coupe, which is a good thing.

And a somewhat revamped iDrive/Navigation system.

I agree completely.

I would not buy a new 3 series until they got the tail lights straightened out. I don't usually care much what a car looks like or what color it is (as long as it isn't blue), but those tail lights were butt ugly and a deal breaker with me.

The best description I have heard of the E90's design was "awkward".

A significantly revampted iDrive.

My order for a 330d MSport is in.

can't wait. :)
