Current 3-series that came to US first as `06 models. So far the 325i and 330i sedan are offered. Coupes will follow soon as well as the wagon. A V8 M3 should be out as an `07 or `08 model. Engines changes are already underway, looking for a turbo 6 cylinder that will be called the 335i, replacing the 330i and the 325i will be turned into the 328i, even though they will all be 3.0 liters.
The E90 is the first of the 3-series with BMW's "new" look.
