There are sports sedans, sports coupes and sport convertibles. And then there is the BMW 3 Series. While any number of manufacturers will adapt key elements of BMW's mainstay into their product portfo
If the balanced handling benefits of rear-wheel drive don't resonate, or you live in an area which places a premium on all-wheel drive, the 2011 BMW 3 Series may not be the best of your available opti
For the committed BMW aficionado or someone relatively new to the marque, the driving experience is key to realizing - and benefiting from - your substantial investment. If you live in an area not conducive to even the occasional full-throttle blast, forego the BMW. In fact, you should probably forego individual transportation all together.

Review this carBy nc83 (NC) on Tuesday, May 08, 2012
I own this car - My approximate mileage is 17,000
overall rating 10 of 10rating detailsPros: "engine response"
Cons: "trunk space"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10
"Totally awesome. We constanly drive on mountain roads and this car responds. I hit the gas, she goes. Power is through the roof. Gas milage could be better through town but the interstate was spectacular. Drove 450 miles to a full tank. Tight steering, matched with a responsive engine, equals a happy 4 year old in the back seat!! Love, love, love it!!! I may eat my words when I have a major malfunction, but who knows when that will be. It could be tomorrow or in 10 years but whats the fun of owning a car if you cant have fun driving it. It is the ULTIMATE driving machine. And Imma gonna have some fun."

"I loved this car until just recently when I reached 60K miles and my warranty expired. All of a sudden I had a massive power failure and had to have my car towed to the dealer. Turns out the power distributer had failed and it, the fuse box and wiring harness had to be replaced. What a disappointment!"
