Ya, that looks ok, pretty similar to the current generation 330Ci. I'm not really feeling that deep crease along the door handle level though.

Yep, look for fat fenders and ground effects and of course what's under the hood. It's a shame SMG is going by the way side. I think it's one of BMW's least understood features.

I understand SMG has some problems, but yes, those I've talked to who have it seem to love it! Is SMG gone now for '06 already in the lineup?

I believe it's going to be 335CI. not 330CI. It will come with over 300hps.

Yes but I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of SMG yet. Look for it in the all new 2008 M3 when it's introduced at the 07 NAIA show.
