I've had a few rental cars with rear-view cameras, and I can say that once you've had one of those it's hard to go back. They are very effective. So I'm in on the $1900 Driver Assistance package. The jury is out on the technology package. $3100 is a buttload of dough. I'm happy with the navigation capability on my iPhone, and all the other stuff in that package seems to be toys I would not miss if they weren't there. I might miss the larger display screen, though - but is it worth $3000? I'm glad there's a tan leather option with M-Sport. I wish they offered Saddle Brown.

Holy crap, did anyone else notice the price of the hybrid? 50,000 BASE price. And they're still estimating 5.6 seconds to 60 and 36 mpg. Wake up BMW. Give us the newest 35d engine in the F30, and you'll be able to price it at 40,000 and it'll be faster and more fuel efficient.

There are many glitches on bmwusa config, but you can always go back to Official 2013 F30 Order/Price guides.

Cofigurator needs some work. I keep trying to build an M Sport and keep getting switched back to a Modern line whenever I play around with the selections on the interior..

It would have been nice if BMW offered Estoril blue seats to match that blue stripe in the M Sport package.

Agree. One issue with diesel is that it's a separate product from gasoline, subject to its own price manipulation by the oil companies. While the trucking industry surely represents 99.9% of the demand for diesel, I always wonder if the oil companies are monkeying around with diesel prices to just barely fit within the value proposition.

BMW is crazy if they think a 3 series with Prius-rivaling fuel economy won't sell. The reason we haven't been buying 335ds and probably won't buy Activehybrids is because they offer barely any more miles to the gallon, come with increased ownership headaches and cost more. People here aren't dumb enough to pay more for a car and then hope to make up the difference on fuel savings, a hybrid or diesel model isn't some kind of premium product. Back to the topic, I like what I'm seeing except I wish I could order mine with Adaptive M suspension without having to get variable steering. |

just built an m-sport f30 in estoril blue (prob like everybody else on this post...) and I def think it looks better than the e90 - very good looking car.
Unfortunately a 335i msport with premium and driver's assistance (not even cold weather or technology) is ringing in at $53K. Crazy....

WHAT is up with all the Diesel bashing? All you 'd' haters are the exact reason why BMW is sending us over the boring Active Hybrid 3 and 5 instead of awesome cars like the new 330d or 535d.
