Re:'97 E36 Changes
In a message dated 96-08-22 14:32:08 EDT, you write:
<< - new front kidney in 7series look
- rocker panel (beneath doors) are black instead of gray
- trunk grip is painted in the car's color
- heated and painted mirrors
- new interior fabrics
- steering wheel from new 5series
- storage space in backrests of front seats
- reading spots and floor lights in the rear
- painted bumpers for all models
- ASC+T for all 6 bangers (except 325td/tds)
- prices are about DM 900 higher
- available from September '96 >>
Keep in mind that the above information applies largely to German spec
1997 E36's. In fact, '96 U.S. E36's, and 328's inparticular, already have
ALL,
the above features -- all except for the steering wheel and the rear
passenger
reading lights -- which may NEVER come to American shores anyway.
The Euro 328i's [and to some degree Canadian 328i] also get a number of other
things as well like REAL glass headlight covers -w- elipisoids & washers,
tilt steering wheel [thank Nader for killing ours], limited slip as an option
and a few other goodies.
The real change, of course will come with the E46 next fall [1998].
