New 3 series

Hi,

I want to buy a 320Ci or 325Ci and lease the car for 5 years.

I am wondering if anyone knows when the current 3 series bodies will be replaced, because they have been around for 4-5 years.

I don't want to buy a new BMW and then find that the car design is superseeded by a completely new shape in the next year or two. Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction?

Here in australia there was a new model released I think this year (could have been last year, not sure, time goes by too fast) I believe there is another new model to released in the next few months, A friend of mine was looking at the 330 and was told there was another new model coming shortly....

Yeah, I am in Australia as well. I noticed that they released a 'revamped' version of the 3 series Coupe just recently. However this is not a new body shape, just some cosmetic 'tweaks'.

I am really struggling to find any information on when they are going to do an entire new 3 series like they have just done with the 5's.

First of all, unless you have a business or can otherwise write off the cost of a lease, leasing is one of the worst financial decisions, especially for a long term like 5 years. I would recommend saving a downpayment and financing for 5 years instead
