2016 BMW 340i Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh With at least 320 horsepower (BMW tends to under-rate its engines) to motivate its 3,800 pounds, the 340i is very quick. Even with a manual transmission--a disadvantage these days if you care only about the quickest time--the 340i xDrive can rocket from a dead stop to 60 mph in under...

A Brand in Turmoil and desperate to preserve their identity (or find it) 2008 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member2702 No way this car puts out 'just' 300 hp or 300 lb-ft of torque; it's at least 330 and 340 respectively IMHO. No, I haven't dyno'ed the car but the way it pulls relentlessly on to its redline can actually get a little frightening. Cruising at 100 mph is effortless,... |
Best driver's car in the entry level luxury segment 2010 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member6338 One of the best engines ever made. Smooth revving, good torque and superb smoothness and sound. |

2015 Volvo V60 T5 Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh If you want a thrillingly quick Volvo V60, get the T6 R-Design, which has a 325-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine powering all four wheels. But the T5 Drive-E (the latter bit denoting the new engine) is far from slow. Like the 328i's motor, Volvo's latest is a turbocharged, direct-injected... Comparison vehicle: 2014 BMW 3-Series |

2012 BMW 328i Twin-Turb 2.0L Four Cylinder 2012 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons trebor99 Seen a lot of reviewers badmouthing the new twin-turb 2.0L engine. Get so tired of people resisting change that I feel sorry for the manufacturers. If they don't innovate they can't remain relevant. Yet innovation brings the naysayers out in droves. I have owned both the inline six-cylinder and the... |

2014 BMW 328d Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh The only way the performance of these diesels is likely to disappoint you is if you're expecting them to feel sluggish. Especially in typical around-town driving they feel energetic, even powerful. Credit the torque advantage of diesel engines. While BMW 328i's turbocharged 2.0-liter gas engine can produce 260 lb-ft of... Comparison vehicle: 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class |
The E46 3-Series: A Love-Hate Relationship 2002 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member2416 The M54 engine is one of the best implementations of an inline-6 engine of all time, of any manufacturer. Decent power with a good power band, all with good efficiency and a killer soundtrack. |

2008 BMW 335i Cabrio 2008 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member140 Wonderful and smooth power delivery in all conditions. Traction control works well with winter tires during snowy conditions and going up 15% grade hills with 3-4 inches of snow. Very precise braking, steering and placement on the road. Very satisfied with 5+ second 0-60 times. |

2003 e46 325iT 2003 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member3305 My love affair with BMW six's continues. The powerband is matched perfectly to the car (5spd). Pulls much harder than the HP figures would indicate. Sounds flawless at high RPM. still runs as new at 113k. |

2010 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member5553 The BMW has terrific acceleration after a slight lag when you first step on the gas. In Sport mode, the automatic transmission revs with smooth speed that puts you ahead of the line when the stop light turns green. Responsive and powerful. |

2011 Cadillac CTS-V wagon Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Engines don't get more American than a small block V8 fitted with a supercharger. Kicking out 556 horsepower at 6,100 RPM and 551 foot-pounds of torque at 3,800 RPM, the 6.2-liter engine is more than a match for the CTS-V wagon’s considerable 4,398 pounds. It's got thrust (though the car's... Comparison vehicle: 2008 BMW 3-Series |

2012 BMW 328i Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Quite a few current cars can deliver mpg's over 30. What makes the new BMW 328i special is that it delivers excellent fuel economy and strong performance in the same car, if not necessarily at the same time. The 328i's turbo four might not appear nearly as strong as the... Comparison vehicle: 2012 Mercedes-Benz C-Class |

2006 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member4555 I love the torque and responsiveness of this car. The six-speed transmission is properly geared for my driving. |

2008 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons A member in Texas, United States While it still can't be described as a torque monster, the S65 motor spins up quickly, and the car flat out flies. As a previous E46 M3 owner who wasn't thrilled with the 'new' look, I was sold on this car as soon as I drove i |
