Why consider the BMW 3 Series

BMW 3 Series 

With the new 2010 BMW 3 Series, you will not find a lot of changes from the previous series. Many people in the automotive press consider the BMW 3 series are some of the best sport sedans built today. If you are interested in getting an entry-level luxury sedan which you can also use as a day to day vehicle, but will still hug the corners of a winding road, this is a great choice of vehicle. You can still get these vehicles in a 2 door coupe or convertible, or as a 4 door sedan and wagon. If you choose to get a convertible, they come with a power retractable hard top.

All the vehicles in the BMW 3 Series come with a gasoline engine with a 6 speed manual transmission. Optional with the 328i and the 335i as well as standard on the 335d is a 6 speed automatic. You can also get the M3 with a 7 speed dual clutch automated control which behaves like an automatic. Some of the safety features in this vehicle include an ABS, antiskid systems, front-side airbags as well as traction control. There are head-protecting side airbags which are standard on all the BMW vehicles except for the convertibles. The convertibles do have rollover bars which are designed to deploy from the rear of the headrest if the sensors detect that there is an impending tip.

Some of the cars in the series come with an optional navigation system called the BMW iDrive which uses a knob on the console to control the entertainment, communication, navigation as well as other functions which are available in this vehicle. Features which are available are steering-linked xenon headlights, an active steering system which quickens the responses at low speeds, rear obstacle detection as well as adaptive cruise control and BMW Assist service which has a wireless cell phone link.

The BMW features great handling, which is standard in all the vehicles within the series. There is balanced handling which is almost unparalleled in another other vehicle, with 50/50 weight distribution as well as suspension tuning biased more towards the sporty end. There are different powerful engines that you can choose from to allow you to decide how much you want to spend on speed, and you can also choose a twin turbo diesel which has tremendous torque but with good fuel economy. Keep in mind that you need to think about the suspension before you decide on your purchase. The automotive press falls in love with the vehicles that perform well on a track, which means these have a firm spring, which allows for a fast lap time as well as holding the turn. While this is great on a race track, this can cause a choppy ride in the day to day driving.

One of the changes in this vehicle from 2009 is a slight styling update, which was carried forward into 2010. The vehicle has a tailored look, with a classic kidney grill which flows into graceful curves and sharp creases. The interior of this vehicle is comfortable and is built with materials that those that buy a luxury car expect. The interior of the BMW 3 series is designed more for the driver, and the passenger may not find this vehicle as comfortable as other cars out there.
The BMW is a classic car that many people look at and would like to drive, but due to cost cannot always afford. Depending on what you are looking for will determine which vehicle in the BMW 3 series is the one for you.
