The 3 Series is the smallest of BMW's three sedan lines. But it has grown to 10 models, and includes coupes, convertibles, and wagons. All are based on the same platform (chassis and drive train); however, coupes and convertibles share few body panels with the sedans and wagon. Sedan, coupe and convertible are now available with 2.5- or 3.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engines; the wagon comes only with the 2.5-liter inline-6.The 184-horsepower 2.5-liter engine is used in the 325i sedan ($26,990); 325i sport wagon ($29,400); 325Ci coupe ($28,990); 325Ci convertible ($35,990). The 225-horsepower 3.0-liter engine is used in the 330i sedan ($33,990); 330Ci coupe ($34,990); and 330Ci convertible ($42,400). Coupe and convertible prices include a slightly higher level of luxury equipment than in the sedans and wagon. All models come with a five-speed manual transmission, an unusually enthusiast-friendly policy even among sports sedans. Of course, an automatic transmission is available: A superb ZF-built five-speed Steptronic, it adds $1275 to the price of any 3 Series model. (A conventionally controlled automatic is no longer offered.) New for 2001 is a sophisticated all-wheel-drive package that adds $1750 to the price of a 325i sedan or sport wagon or 330i sedan. It also adds an X to the model designation, thus 325Xi and 330Xi. Look for a super-high-performance M3 model this year. |
