Detailed item info Model OverviewBMW's 3-Series has always been the perfect example of how to combine luxury and sportiness. and this continues with the 2010 versions. The 328i features BMW's exceptional 3. 0L engine. which uses double-VANOS technology to steplessly adjust both the intake and exhaust timing on its way to producing 230 horsepower.

Both 6-cylinder powerplants are matched with a superb 6-speed manual transmission. while a 6-speed Steptronic automatic transmission is optional. A 3. 0L twin-turbo diesel engine is available in the 335d as a rear-wheel-drive sedan. and it generates an astounding 425 lb-feet of torque while achieving 36 mpg on the highway. The 3-Series is available as a coupe. a retractable hardtop convertible. a sedan and a wagon. xDrive all-wheel drive is available on all body types except the convertible. All vehicles have a marvelously balanced chassis and outstanding road feel.
