BMWUSA website revamped, 1 series pricing now listed

[Jonathan M3]

Just a heads up that bmw has released pricing and build your own options for the 1 series.

I spec'd one the way I want it and ended up with:

Base MSRP$34,900
Alpine White$0
Coral Red Boston Leather$1,450
High gloss black trim$0
Sport Package$1,000
Comfort Access system$500
Heated front seats$500
HD radio$350
iPod and USB adapter$400
Premium hi-fi system$875
Satellite radio$595
Destination & Handling:$775
Total MSRP as Built$41,345



Not too sure about the $1000 sport package, which seems to be nothing more than shadowline trim?
At least you can get one w/o things I don't care for like power seats, iDrive, active steering. Still a bit pricey, but ended up being what I expected.

Read this, then take premium hi-fi off your list :)...

Yeah, my options list is definitely subject to change after I actually try one out in person. I was going off the fact that most base bmw sound systems are terrible.;)

there are no issues.

Bullshit.

Tell me why so many of the 335is that are taken to the track end up in limp mode a few laps into a 20 minute session?

While that may not be an issue for daily driving usage, it is unacceptable to someone like me.

While that may not be an issue for daily driving usage, it is unacceptable to someone who doesn't buy the car simply because it's a status symbol.

Fixed. Not just you Dave.

I don't think holding a new high performance 3 series to a certain level of reliability is out of this world. If these problems continue because of hard driving obviously they need to be taken care of.

How do you remove the car from the options list?

26k for a 128 ED'd makes it a lot easier to swallow.

Wait, u mean this car isn't the same price as my Civic?

Fuk BMW!

So how is it that you can get European Delivery price on a new BMW? I read the thread, but I didn't see a description in there.

I need to put you in touch with a friend of mine who has tried tracking his 2007 335i twice in recent months. Mind you these aren't races, just HPDEs (high performance driving events) and each day he's had his car out for a 20 minute lap session, the car defaults into limp-home ('safe') mode after about 10 minutes due to excessive temps thus ending his day early. He's actually considered getting a new R32 to replace this car.....his last ride was a 2004 R32. So either my friend drives too hard or the 335i needs its cooling attributes improved. Let me know if you think I'm full of shit, I'll give you his e-mail to validate everything I've mentioned.

As Dave mentioned, until BMW gets this temp issue resolved on the twin turbo motor, the NA version looks like the best bet for someone who may track the thing from time to time. The lower asking price is also a nice enticement.

You guys giving anecdotes need to differentiate between 335i with or without oil coolers. I have yet to hear anyone with an oil cooler have a problem with high temps on track. Im sure that the 135i will have one.

Oil cooler equipped 335i's also overheat. Just not instantly.

Last time I was at MSR I rode in a 6spd 335i coupe with a oil cooler. I think it made it 4 full laps on the 1.7 before we limped off the track.
