Other 328i and all 335i models get 17s. That said, we expect this issue to be addressed with the 2011 model that features a single, larger turbo. Fortunately, the revs build fast and it's easy to keep the engine where it needs to be thanks to the six-speed manual transmission. The rear seats are also nice, but don't quite have the same derrière-gripping ability as what you'll find up front. For heightened comfort of all occupants, the car features heated leather seats, which can be adjusted to suit each occupant's preferences, and an air conditioning system.
There's also a high-performance V-8-powered M3 and a diesel 335d; we cover the M3 on Cars. Shifts are quick and gear changes feel precise without being notchy. Up front, the 2010 335i couldn't be mistaken for anything other than what it is. Send Kelsey an Hide full review. There's also a high-performance V-8-powered M3 and a diesel 335d; we cover the M3 on Cars. When I scoot all the way up in the coupe to reach the clutch pedal, I find my forehead uncomfortably close to the windshield.
The Infiniti G37 coupe's backseat, in comparison, would have kids complaining about space. Price and release date Prices start at 27,845 for the 320i Coupe, with the 335i available from £36,340. It provides excellent turn-in precision and good feedback. Of course, that could just be my paranoia at work, since so much of my time in the 3-series is spent above the speed limit. At 12 cubic feet, the 3 Series sedan's trunk is small. I found usable passing power as low as 1,300 rpm.
After a few miles with some shifting to get used to it most drivers will settle into a good rhythm. That's a good thing, considering we found ourselves hijacking our passengers for extended romps through a variety of backroads. The sedan's backseat isn't much larger, however; as sedan backseats go, it's tight. The engine produces a dead even 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, and the muscle is enough to hustle the sedan's 3,593-pound curb weight through traffic. The Moves The 230-horsepower 328i moves more capably from stoplights than its mere 200 pounds-feet of torque would suggest.
When viewed from the rear, the car loses some of its menace, but the design is still plenty attractive. But as the week drew to a close, we began to realize that the tag wasn't wrapped up in useless electronics or bells and whistles we'd use once and then forget about. With a 135i, you can be lazy and use almost any gear at any speed. Like the 3, the engine in the 135i is what makes it a world-class sports car. The front thrones are supportive enough for long interstate hauls with bolsters capable of keeping your rear planted should you decide to fling the sedan through the mountains.
In fact, the acceleration is so amazing you might find it hard to keep the car under the speed limit with 0-60 times of 4. The 3 Series isn't the only car with such capabilities, though; others come close, and many do so for considerably less money. It is expected to consume 58 percent more fuel than factory data in real conditions and during test drives. What kind of engine is available in each body style varies, but you can get a 3 Series in coupe, sedan, wagon or retractable-hardtop convertible layouts, most of them with rear- or all-wheel drive. Let's hope it makes its way elsewhere. There was no pressure to leave with anything. Sixteen-inch alloy wheels adorn the 328i sedan and wagon.
Show full review Driving around Chicago in the winter involves too many cold mornings, too many potholes and too many roads that run in any direction you'd like, so long as they're straight. The nose wears the same flared nostril grille and round headlights as the rest of the Bavarian flock and the slight contour of the hood line gives the face something of a furrowed brow. The company builds good products, but does it really deserve wave after wave of gushing prose in every car magazine? Ive been on CarGurus for 2 years looking for this model 2004 preferred. Our opinions and criticism remain our own — we do not accept sponsored editorial. Other available features include iDrive and a navigation system, the automatic transmission, xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, front and rear parking sensors and various sport packages. To that end, we've always viewed the constant stream of fawning over with something of a jaundice eye. The position is good, especially for reaching down while not taking your eyes off the road.
The revamped 335i is part of a mid-life freshen up of the whole coupe and cabrio range. And at first, that really irritated us. Weight of the vehicle is 1615 kg with 405 liters trunk loading capacity. If we weren't complaining we'd be on a cold slab in the county morgue. Convertibles add front knee airbags and head extensions for the side-impact airbags, while the coupe, sedan and wagon have two-row side curtain airbags.
I drove an all-wheel-drive, stick-shift 335i coupe. I had the opportunity to drive a 335i coupe and 135i in a three-day span with a in between, to cleanse the palette. But the usable size and comfortable ride are what make it a very serviceable daily driver, and it sure is fast. According to the specs, the inline-six manages to crank out its full torque from just 1,400 rpm, but the power simply isn't there until the mill begins to spin a little quicker. City drivers should also take note: xDrive increases the 3 Series' turning circle from a relatively tight 36. The listing was accurate to a T.
