The 335i trim is the best trim to opt for. It comes with the more powerful turbocharged Inline-6 engine along with a great set of features. The feature set includes 18-inch alloy wheels, adaptive and auto-leveling xenon headlights, automatic high beam, sunroof, leather-wrapped sport steering wheel with red contrast stitching, sport seats in Black SensaTec, and contrasting Red highlight piping, Dakota Leather upholstery with contrast stitching and piping, and more.
The BMW 3 Series starts at $32,750 and comes with two engine options, a 2.0 L Inline-4 or a 3.0 L Inline-6, and both are mated to an 8-Speed automatic transmission. The 328i chosen here for comparison comes with the 2.0 L Inline-4 churning out 240 hp of maximum power and 255 lb-ft of maximum torque. The BMW 3 Series takes 5.9 seconds to reach a speed of 60mph and 14.5 seconds to cross the quarter-mile mark.
The BMW 3 Series is limited to a top speed of 130 mph. The performance of the 3 Series can be termed as arguably the best in the segment. The sedan has been the same for years but still is the best-handling small sedan in the segment. The more powerful 335i trim provides even better performance and acceleration.
