: I've just picked up an official brochure from my BMW dealer in Amsterdam. Netherlands

: The specs are:

: 6 speed gear box
: 225/45 ZR 18 front wheels
: 225/40 ZR 18 Rear wheels

: inline 6 engine
: 3245 cm3 capacity
: 252 KW @ 7900 rpm
: 365 Nm " 4900

: top speed 250km p/h (limited)
: 0-100 km/h <5.3 seconds

: the brochure shows a type of mustard yello M3...

: This will be the EURO set up, it's offical, as they are giving brochures out, willing to take orders, but NO specific date of release, rumours are October.

: The 330i engine is being released 1st June in Holland

: The X5 3.0i released 27/5 in Germany

: A new 330d will come in october, very good specis (I know you guys are not too keen on Turbo diesels in the states)

: but the new engine (currently in the 730d) will have 193bhp and 410Nm at 1750 to 3500 rpm

: one hell of a pull from 60-120 km p/h

: ok anymore info from my dealer I'll post it
