BMW to Debut 328d & Active Tourer Concept at the NYC Autoshow

BMWNA has tipped their hat this morning by both naming the 3 Series diesel (the 328d) and by bringing the Active Tourer Concept to a US autoshow. The latter is a bigger deal than you might think considering that BMW doesn\'t bother showing off concepts that aren\'t relevant to the market in question. Therefore we can surmise that not only are front wheel drive BMWs coming but perhaps the new three cylinder engine range as well.

BMW US Sales Flat for January

The big winner for February is (unsurprisingly) the X5 with sales up 22% over February of 2012. Also up (and hopefully stabilized) is the F10 5 Series. And finally it\'s nice to see the 6 Series, a car we\'ve reviewed very positively, doing well. On the downside are a couple surprises. The F30 3 Series is fully launched with xDrive yet it continues to show up and down figures month after month. We\'d guess this has something to do with the Coupe and Convertible being long in the tooth and the lack of incentives last month compared to 2012 when BMW was clearing out E90s. It also makes you wonder how BMW plans on reporting model sales when they move the 3er Coupe and Convertible to the 4 Series model classification.

Chris Harris Buys an E30 and Goes Rallying

Everyone\'s favorite English auto journalist Chris Harris has long talked about his love for old BMWs. Having owned countless M3s and currently an E28 M5 he\'s got quite a bit of experience with vintage Bimmers. So it shouldn\'t come as a surprise that he recently bought a well sorted but rather ragged E30. What may surprise some is that it was bought for one purpose, to rally.
