I'm going offline for a while -- there's not much need to host this file, it's simply a JPG that needs to be shrunken a bit. Between JDN and me, I have a feeling we'll get this sorted out in short time...

JDN, I received the file and I think it's too big to post.? I can't shrink it until later on so I just now emailed you a copy in case drjochen didn't already send you a copy and you're able to shink it faster.? One minor problem...it's in German!

Here's what I wanted to do earlier but didn't have time...
drjochen, a translation would be awesome, at least the part you circled...

"It is interesting to note that the Munich company has discontinued the SMG gearbox (..for the new 3 series...). According to head of R&D, Dr. BG ("...even Gerhard Berger drives SMG only in the automatic mode"), sequential manual gearboxes in the future will only be used for extremly sporty engines with very high rpms."
The next section has something interesting, too. Its about the 320d vs. 330i:
"The flower of engine building (i.e., the new 3 liter six), a free revving 6-cylinder Ottot engine with the best ingredients and an awesome sound, gets beaten badly by an oilburner (i.e., the Diesel)."
Man, my German is getting worse, but my English is not getting any better...

No SMG on the new 3? Hmmm, the latest Autoweek still says it's available. Not that they are always 100% accurate either.
Oh, and one more thing, some of you might find Autoweek's comments regarding Active Steering a little bit interesting...
