2008 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member4475 torque + hp of the N51 is very usable across the rev range. smoth engine. GM tranny is seen being weak, but I like it ok. Not as nice as 335 Getrag but does the job. |
|
2006 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member5102 Even though a relatively modest 215 HP, it accelerates and feels like a much more powerful car. Very quick acceleration to highway speeds and excellent ability to pass on the highway. Very solid and smooth manual transmission too. |

2004 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons Member4819 BMW inline 6 cylinder engines are known for their smooth power delivery and this car was no exception. Able to pull and pull long after most cars would run out of power, the 235 HP always delivered more than the numbers would have you expect. |

2006 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons A member in Massachusetts, United States Very strong engine; with the rare-in-US 6-speed manual (common in Europe) lots of fun and a sense of safety from ability to do with auto whatever traffic requires. |

2009 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons A member in California, United States Smooth and powerful, high-revving V8. Linear powerband and deceptively "torque-y" especially at higher RPMs. Civilized at lower RPMs for day to day driving. |
