Now more refined than ever, this new BMW comes as a sedan, coupe or convertible – and the 320i sells for less than a 1 Series car. But the swankier trims equipped with options can cost twice as much. Most 3 Series vehicles come with the xDrive all-wheel drive system. Driving purists will love the M3 and its 414-hp V8. A hybrid drivetrain (ActiveHybrid 3) is also available.
