"For decades, the 3-Series has set the standard for the sport sedan, so it was important to keep the same basic formula with the latest redesign. While BMW added size and space, it also reduced weight to maintain the car's legendary dynamic character. A new turbocharged 4-cylinder engine offers great power and lower weight, and the returning turbocharged 6-cylinder continues with amazing thrust. As a result, the car is more family-friendly, but still a blast to drive. Let's hope BMW never stops building ultimate driving machines."
