2009 BMW 3 Series

Sporting character in every model. edited by J.P. Vettraino

Summary

2009 BMW 3 Series

The BMW 3 Series provides something for every taste, from sedan to wagon, coupe to convertible. For 2009, there's a new high-tech diesel. Any of the 3 Series are among the sportiest, most enjoyable cars in a class full of good cars. All remain benchmarks for overall performance, and none exacts a significant toll in efficiency, practicality or comfort. The 3 Series offers BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system, and every model is laden with leading-edge technology. Prices rise quickly and substantially from the bottom of the 3 Series line, and we'd guess that most buyers will find the least expensive models as useful and enjoyable as the most expensive.

J.P. Vettraino filed this report to NewCarTestDrive.com from Detroit. Tom Lankard contributed from central California, and Larry Edsall from Marin County in Northern California.
