BMW 3-Series 2006 Overview
The 3-Series is the king of compact entry-level luxury sedans, while also available in coupe and convertible body styles. Also available is the Touring wagon model, but it is not exactly made available here since no one wants one. Now in its fifth generation, models currently available in the Middle East include the 320i with 2.0-litre 4-cylinder, the 325i with a 2.5-litre 6-cylinder, and the amazing 330i with a 3.0-litre 6-cylinder as well as the all-wheel-drive versions of some the models, namely the 325xi, the 330xi and the 330xd. A new engine was introduced into the series with the new coupe and later the sedan, dubbed the 335i with a 3.0-litre twin turbo 6-cylinder motor. The new V8-powered M3 debuted for 2008, also in coupe, sedan and convertible styles, with features such as electronically-variable suspension and chassis adjustments. The iDrive computer option is available, and it is a pain to use, since BMW chooses to use a little joystick in the centre console instead of a simple touch screen. All cars get multiple front and side airbags, stability control, alloy wheels, ABS brakes and great rear-wheel-drive handling characteristics.
