BMW’s bread-and-butter sedan offers numerous options for both price and performance. At the bottom is the 200-hp 3.0-litre 323i, the 328i with 230-hp, and the 300-hp 335i with a twin-turbocharged version. Finally, the 335d features BMW’s excellent twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre diesel engine, which offers a healthy 265-hp, but the 425 lb-ft of torque make this one truly entertaining. All 3 Series get reasonable fuel efficiency, but 335d is good for Honda Civic-style efficiency. All gasoline engines use either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic (335d is auto only). Both the 328i and 335i can be equipped with xDrive all-wheel drive. Revised interior features latest – and much improved – iDrive optional.
