I doubt it will debut anywhere before it rolls off the assembly line.

so my hope for NY is ill founded? Because its a new motor, new model designation I was hoping that they may try to make a bit of a splash with it.... Does BMW have anything else to talk about at NY? No 7 series till Frankfurt right?

I'm not feeling it. It's not a big enough splash for NYIAS.

Who knows? The LCI doesn't typically bring much in the way of interior changes, but it has happened. The E60/61 LCI made some pretty significant interior design improvements that I think made it considerably more attractive. Maybe with pressure from the new W205 C Class and the upcoming new B9 A4 BMW will make more noticeable improvements to the F3x interior trim and materials and decide to show it off. I don't particularly expect it, but it could happen.

seriously doubt it, not much pressure for the 3-series, it's selling like hot cakes. plus the car goes into production in 3 months and all spy shots point to super minor adjustments which is typical for LCIs. i don't think the LCI warrants an Auto Show debut, its super minor. we are just excited because of the new marketing (340i) and slight tweak to the engine.

I disagree. When the F30 rolled out, the B8 A4 was still mid-life cycle, and the B8 has since done wonders for Audi. While I'm not a huge fan of the W205 C Class, The C450 is going to give the F30 LCI 340 a run for it's money.

ok gentleman's bet. I will rub your face in it when the 340i LCI is just a 320hp/tq engine with LED lighting. BMW is super conservative with its bread and butter.

hmmm....in 2006 the E90 330i N52 was 255 hp/220 lb-ft of tq. 2007 335i N54 was 306 hp/295 lb-ft of torque.

I also don't think the 340 will be rated anything above 330HP.

BMW not succumbing to competition pressure, doesn't mean they shouldn't be.

smart man

they don't feel pressure, only us enthusiasts want to destroy our rivals. BMW is killing it, no need to sell a high HP car with worse gas mileage.

I spoke with the 3/4 series product rep from BMWNA at the 1st quarter BMWCCA general meeting for the Boston Chapter last week and he confirmed that the F30 LCI will not be revealed at the NY Auto show. It shouldn't be long though...

Very curious to see what happens. Would be nice if the 3 series got back onto C&D Top 10 list, but BMW may be content that the 2 series has claimed that spot.

No, he wouldn't give specifics. Just that it would be "soon"

"Coming Soon" for movies can mean a year

But obviously we know it's between now and 7/15.

He has no f'ing clue. If BMW or any mfg told details to sales staff, the entire world would know within 2 days.
