TrueDelta Reviews the Seat Room and Comfort of the 2013 BMW 3-Series

2013 BMW 3-Series Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
YearComment
2014 The BMW 3-Series used to be tight inside, but it has grown with each redesign, especially the most recent one. The rear seat of the current sedan isn't nearly as roomy as that in the related 3-Series Gran Turismo hatchback. But it offers considerably more rear legroom than direct competitors like the Audi A4, Cadillac ATS, and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. In fact, combined front and rear legroom is the same as in the one size-class up, ten-inch-longer Mercedes E-Class. (You do get a half-inch more rear headroom and nearly two inches more rear shoulder room in the Benz.) Beyond the specs, the BMW's rear seat is comfortably high off the floor, a rarity in the age of sedans with plunging coupe-like roof lines. see full BMW 3-Series review

TrueDelta Reviews the Powertrain of the 2013 BMW 3-Series

2013 BMW 3-Series Powertrain: Pros
YearComment
2012 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 335i's turbo six on paper, as it's down 60 horsepower (240 vs. 300), but in the real world the two engines aren't far apart. BMW's official zero-to-sixty times get the six to sixty only about a half-second sooner. The six is smoother and sounds better (the four sounds almost like a diesel at idle). But are these advantages worth $3,700 and a substantial fuel economy hit? Only if you can't stomach the idea of a four-cylinder engine in a car that starts north of $35,000 and tops $50,000 when loaded up. see full BMW 3-Series review

2013 BMW 3-Series Powertrain: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 240hp 2.0L I4
6-speed manual RWD		 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 new twin-turbo and I have to say both are fantastic motors. The new twin-turbo four-cylinder develops more power than the six did, and is a blast to drive. Turbo-lag is almost negligible as the power comes online very early. I've had no issues with this motor at all, and with it mated to the buttery-smooth six-speed manual, this is the most fun car to drive I have ever owned, and I've owned them up to 500hp+. see full BMW 3-Series review
