TrueDelta Reviews the Available Features of the 2014 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo

2014 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo Available Features: Cons
YearComment
If you want a feature, you can probably get it on the BMW 335i Gran Touring. But there are exceptions. I've already mentioned that an automatic transmission and all-wheel-drive are mandatory, and that a third-row seat is only available (and standard) in the Mercedes. You can also only get a lane keep assist feature that can nearly drive the car in the Benz. But the feature most likely to be missed on the BMW--and a cheap, low-tech one at that--could be a rear wiper. These are standard on nearly every other hatchback or wagon, but one isn't even optional on the BMW. see full BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo review

2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
Smooth ride and CVT, while it takes getting used to, is a nice feature to help preserve fuel economy. Interior well made and controls easy to find as a driver. Love the iPod hook-up, sattelite radio, NAV system, touch screen, list goes on and on! see full Nissan Maxima review
2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
This car has the Premium Package plus the Nav Package, so is loaded with features I want. Due to poor circulation in my hands, I must have a heated steering wheel the cooler half of the year. This car has that. It also has a rear window sunscreen I keep in use the hotter half of the year. The backup camera is very clear, and I use it every day. I love the separate air conditioning system for the driver's seat. I love the engine compression braking feature Nissan added to the Maxima. Far too many features to name. see full Nissan Maxima review

2009 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 3.5L V6
6-speed shiftable CVT FWD
I personally feel a car in this class needs power folding outside mirrors. The garages in our current custom home have ten foot wide doors. But many newer homes, especially retirement homes, have garage doors as narrow as eight feet. This leaves only inches between the mirrors and the garage door opening. With eight foot garage doors, these mon-power folding mirrors would be very inconvenient, requiring careful attention and very slow movement entering and leaving. Either that or opening the windows in a downpour to manually fold them. see full Nissan Maxima review
