Well, I just threw a monkey wrench in my own works.....

Consider the 2012 3er options, now that they are not only announced, but some of them appear to be on BMW Canada's configurator.

Here are a couple of things that are driving me nuts in making a decision -- I don't have cargo needs - just a bit more comfort in the seating position to ease my hips.

2012 3er pamphlet

Now there's a few interesting things there for a 3-driver: better cupholders (how important is that!?), a redesigned dashboard (love it or hate it), the eyebrows (undecided) and a choice of 'series': sport, modern or lux. For the 'real' stuff: a new power plant, eco modes to reduce fuel consumption etc. There's a lot to think about....

There is 'some' pricing on BMW Canada's configurator, but only for certain 2012 models (eg the 335i x-drive Coupe is there but not the Sedan).

And there's a gallery of pix here.

The X1 is an attractive (and lower-priced) option -- I just can't determine if it's as much fun to drive!!
