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 and 335i 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 Sports Wagon does offer impressive cargo room even with the rear seat up.
