2009 BMW 3 Launch video

Today we bring you the official launch video for the refreshed 3 series sedan which we were (finally) able to obtain. The marketing department did an amazing job on choosing these locations, and with the overall composition of this piece. For some it may be a sigh of relief to see how the car looks in motion and how the light bounces off of all of the creases.

You weren’t kidding. It looks GREAT in this video. I wasn’t sold based on the images, but in motion (and I’m sure in person), it looks as good (or better) than the original e90. I also like the 18″ 5 spoke wheels, those will be a must.

Very nice video, think they did a excellent job with presenting the styling updates. A few of the shots seemed a little low on light but overall a very interesting video.

This car looks great in motion. For some reason the photos didn’t do this car justice.

That’s great but I hope that BMW will now have time to publish 09 US pricing. I have an 09 1-series production number for October delivery without any idea of how much I will be paying.

txdesign: BMW has already announced pricing…. BMWNA has not! European and other markets have had pricing for weeks; we were expecting the same but the market in the US is a concern as well as the Euro exchange.

Thanks for that info Michael. I’ll keep chewing my nails.

Forgot to mention Audi just announced US A4 pricing, so if BMW was playing “chicken” they won and now can do as they please with 3 series pricing….

Hmm, shame the clip was asked to be removed.

Is there anywhere this video can be downloaded, as opposed to watched online?

bsd107- Not that I know of, I had the original full quality video but was asked to remove it. On our recent Euro delivery we drove on a very similar road (more than likely the same) on the Austria/German border. It was fantastic!

About BimmerFile

BimmerFile is dedicated to bringing you the most interesting news, links and reviews related to the BMW brand and it's vehicles.

We believe in the old school BMW ownership experience. We believe in garage nights with a six pack and some friends. We believe in 2002s, in E30 M3s and E34 540s with the 6 speed. We believe in progress in both design and engineering but we haven't lost sight of what made the brand and its products great all those years ago. And yes, we believe in the manual transmission.

We long for the days of the wave and for the days of roll-up windows. Yet we love the gadgets on the inside and the xenons on the outside.

In short, we can't get enough of BMWs. This is BimmerFile.
