2009 BMW 3 Series
The 3 Series receives a minor interior and exterior facelift for 2009, but the big news is found under the hood. For the first time in the United States, BMW will introduce a diesel powerplant in its smallest sedan. The new model is designated the 335d, and is powered by a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter diesel engine rated at 265 hp and 425 lb.-ft. of torque. BMW claims the 335d will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just over 6 seconds. According to BMW, the 50-state EPA-approved powerplant employs an innovative AdBlue injection system to keep emissions cleaner than most other diesels on the road. In 2008 EPA testing, BMW’s new 2009 335d returned fuel-economy ratings of 23 mpg city/33 mpg highway. The popular 3 Series also receives the latest fourth-generation iDrive interface and software in 2009.
