Reviews

Overview
The best-selling model in BMW’s lineup, the 3 Series is available in sedan, coupe, convertible and sport wagon versions—with available all-wheel drive (AWD) in most of those models. The big news for 2008 is the availability of BMW’s xDrive AWD system in the 328xi Coupe and 335xi Coupe (in previous years, xDrive was only available on sedan or Sport Wagon models). Other changes for 2008 include optional transmission paddle shifters for those vehicles equipped with BMW’s 6-speed Steptronic automatic transmission, new 16-inch light alloy wheels on the 328i and 328xi sedans, and HD radio now offered as an option.
