Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2006	4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD	The rear seats are comfortable, but due to the size of/shortness of the car there is not much legroom, a full size adult will have trouble getting their feet into the footwells. Mind you, the trunk space is immense for such a small car. see full BMW 3-Series review
