Spied: BMW 2009 F01 7 series interior A few days ago we brought you a nice example of the next generation 7 series from the outside. Today we give you a photo of the new interior it will be sporting. There are many changes in overall button placement and layout. The controller has moved and there are added buttons on the steering wheel. The iDrive system appears to be evolutionary rather than revolutionary. See for yourself! These pictures also reaffirm a few other things we have been behind the scenes working on… we can not elaborate at... Article added: 2008-04-20 07:59:24 Article Views Rating: 471

Which Is The Better Car? 2008 BMW 135i vs. 335i Review After testing BMW 135i and 335i coupes back-to-back, I can reveal that there are only two good reasons to purchase the smaller, cheaper car.

The 335i coupe is more attractive, more enjoyable to drive, holds its value better and offers far more real road usability than the 135i. If BMW had made the 135i as a lightweight, no-frills, Bahn-burning turbo rocket ship, they would have created a... Article added: 2008-04-22 04:41:13 Article Views Rating: 209
