2011 BMW 3-Series 328I Wagon Edition

2011 BMW 3-Series Review :

Overview
The BMW 3 Series is the one car in the BMW lineup that most closely embodies the automaker's "Ultimate Driving Machine" tagline. The 3 Series lineup has a model variant that will suit just about any driver's taste. It doesn't matter if you choose a base 328i coupe or the amazing M3 sport sedan; you will likely be rewarded every time you drive a 3 Series.

The 3 Series lineup comes in coupe, sedan, wagon and convertible forms, and is offered with naturally aspirated, turbocharged and diesel versions of BMW's 3.0-liter

Arguably one of, if not the best all-around sports car on the market, the top-of-the-range M3 is pure driving bliss. You become one with the machine, sinking into the soft, supportive sport seats that hold you firmly in place when attacking a mountain road or a race track. With a simple push of the M button you can go from a perfectly comfortable cruiser to an all out performance monster.

What's New
The 335i gets the new inline-6 equipped with a single twin-scroll turbocharger, BMW's Valvetronic throttle-less intake technology, High Precision direct fuel injection, and all-aluminum construction. Also for 2011, the 3-Series coupes will be available with BMW's advanced xDrive all-wheel drive and traction system. BMW has further developed its iDrive nav and entertainment system with new graphics and controls.
Exterior
The new design of the taillights is unique to the 3 Series Coupe and Convertible. The rear light cluster features two-piece L-shapes and a new color scheme. A new, broader hood and wider kidney grille have also been added.
Interior
There are no dramatic changes to the interior of the 3 Series, which features a variety of wood and aluminum trim packages are available at no cost, as well as leatherette or Dakota leather for your upholstery options available in a variety of colors.
Performance & Handling
Through years of refinement, the new I-6, both in naturally aspirated and turbo forms, is more responsive, more fuel efficient and cleaner-running than ever before. The turbo puts out the same power and torque as last year's engine (300/300) but does it more efficiently. The non-turbo 3.0-liter is rated at 230 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque, the same as last year.
Safety
The 3 Series' two-stage adaptive brake lights increase in intensity during a full ABS stop. Driver and passenger front airbags are standard, along with frontal side impact and front and rear head curtain bags. Traction and Stability Control are standard.
