2009 BMW 3 Series 328i

The 3 Series is BMW's compact sports sedan, offered as a coupe, convertible, sedan, or wagon for 2009. It's the benchmark for driving dynamics in its class, with sharp steering and a balanced chassis that makes every drive engaging. The cabin is driver-focused with high-quality materials, though rear legroom is tight in the coupe and convertible. Expect higher running costs than a typical compact sedan, with premium fuel and more frequent maintenance visits. The 328i convertible drops the hard roof for open-air driving, a premium over the coupe that still keeps the same smooth in-line six. Its 3.0L I6 makes 230 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed automatic, giving you relaxed cruising rather than outright urgency.
