| 2008-05-09 16:27:29 |
The BMW 3-series is without question one of our favorite cars, reigning on our yearly 10Best Cars list for the past 16 years.

For 2008, and to no one's surprise, BMW is adding a convertible version, just as the company has for the past 20 years.

| 2007 BMW 335i coupe |

The turbocharged 2007 BMW 3-series coupe has 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque in U.S. spec. Also sold here will be 230-hp 328i and all-wheel-drive 328xi coupes.The BMW 335i coupe that goes on sale in September 2006 may look like nothing more than the latest chapter in the 3-series coupe book, but there are some radical changes under the skin. The 335i (the C goes away on this coupe as it did on the 650i for the 2006 model year) will have a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six with piezoelectric direct injection. It's the first gasoline turbocharged BMW in decades. BMW claims the 335i coupe will accelerate from 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds — scarcely more than the outgoing E46 M3.

Last year, the bread and butter family Bimmers scored his 16 th-straight 10Best trophy, a record unparalleled in the history of this event. And en route to his 17 th appearance, the 3-series added a new model, the BMW first time rigid convertible, and took top honors in two tests of comparison: "Winds of Change?" [April 2007] and "40 - Somethings" [June 2007].

| BMW 318i E46 |
| 2008-04-05 20:26:47 |
Historically, there's been a pattern to the way the market has approached BMW's 3 Series: the six-cylinder versions are the ones people talk about; the four-cylinder models are the ones they buy.This trend suggests a couple of things. First, that the 3-Series is an expensive car for what it is and, second, that for many folks out there the badge on the bonnet is of far more importance than what's actually under it.Both suppositions have their basis in truth but, at least for 2002, BMW took the volume-selling 318i four-cylinder more seriously with some meaningful upgrades to the model.Most notable of those was a new-generation four-cylinder engine, which was measurably better in every way.Economy was improved, refinement was a step up and performance, too, was upgraded. But more than that...

The 1-Series Convertible will share similiar model ranges with the 1-Series Coupe launched earlier, this means the 128i and the 135i for the American market, but the European market will get a slightly different lineup to the 1 Coupe - 118i, 120i, 120d, 125i and 135i.

The soft top is available in either black or taupe cloth, and there is also a special Moonlight Black soft top which is woven with fine shiny metallic fibers which produce a shimmery metallic silver appearance in sunlight.Standard upholstery is Le...

The character of any coupe is reflected in its profile. On the new BMW 3 Series Coupe the profile is unmistakably BMW. The long hood reflects BMW's adherence to its tradition of inline six-cylinder engines. The long wheelbase, the passenger compartment set back as well as the low, sleek roofline which slopes gently into the trunk, are all characteristic of BMW Coupes.In addition to the classic proportions, the shoulder, character and sill lines serve to enhance the sleek appearance.

The sill line on the lower edge of the door also flows into the front and rear air dams, reinforcing the dynamic nature...

Bio-Fuel, Hydrogen, Electricity, words that are quite frequently thrown around these days, sadly though, they are commonly used to announce intent rather than an achievement. I accept that there are car manufacturers that have produced vehicles that already run on ‘alternative fuel’ systems but hardly enough to justify the outcry. It’s just like creating a homologation special edition so a manufacturer can go rallying, there is no real intention to produce these vehicles but rather they are made to satisfy laws and in this case, show a green-face.There is word that BMW is attempting to revive its renowned “bubble car†Isetta, probably under the same Isetta badge or the classis British badg...
