In presenting the 2007 3 Series Coupe, BMW had this to say: “With totally new looks, the newest BMW Coupe once again sets the benchmark for elegant design, luxury, and value.” Referring to the 335i Coupe, BMW said: “In true BMW tradition, it also establishes a new standard of performance and driving dynamics with the introduction of an exceptional engine.” With plenty of 3 Series seat time behind our belts, we’re willing to bet that the engineering upgrades available on the 2007 model will be like forbidden candy to motoring enthusiasts. Styling, though subtle, is a highlight for this car, and is thankfully more balanced than other BMW products. That leaves the issue of value, which is hard to determine without the benefit of pricing, though it’s fair to assume that the upgrades make the 2007 BMW 3 Series Coupe a mid-$30,000s to -$40,000s proposition. Seems like a fair price to pay if this newest Bimmer is indeed the best of the best.
