If you’re a genuine driving enthusiast who still believes that there’s just something special about German automotive engineering, virtually any selection from the 328i/328xi menu could be just what you’re looking for. Even at its entry level, the 3 Series package provides an engaging mix of character, quality and performance.
If you prefer a suspension tuned more towards ride comfort than control, want a rear seat with lots of legroom or need a spacious trunk, the 3 Series may be less attractive than some of its European or Japanese competitors – although the Sport Wagon does offer 25-percent more cargo room even with the rear seat up. BMW’s iDrive integrated controller that’s included with the optional navigation system also has been criticized for its unnecessary complexity.
