If you are familiar with the Capital Cities BMW blog, you probably know how excited we are over the newly redesigned 2012 BMW 3 Series, that will be released in February. Along with a completely revamped interior and exterior, the new BMW 3 Series promises a number of new, top-of-the-line features. BMW has decided to make more then a few of them standard. series-wide. We are not just talking about an extra cup holder either. We're talking about a generously-sized 6.5-inch screen complete with:

• iDrive controller
• Bluetooth
• USB/iPod compatibility
• 8-speed automatic transmission
• Automatic start/stop technology
• Dynamic Driving Control with fuel-saving ECO PRO Mode and brake energy regeneration
• Larger wheels and tires.

You might be wondering, "How do these welcome improvements translate into price?" On November 23, BMW North America gave American BMW enthusiasts yet another thing to be thankful for. Even with the list of equipment mentioned above, the starting prices for the 328i and 335i sedans will rise only by $320 and $370 respectively compared to the 2011 model year. This means that the new BMW 328i will start at under $35,800 and the 335i below $43,300! This is before all applicable destination and handling charges. When you compare BMW to our competition, you will see why BMW is Americas favorite luxury brand. We are positive that you will be satisfied with your new 3-series.
