Preview of the Redesigned 2011 BMW 3 Series

BMW has announced substantial enhancements to the 2011 3 Series Coupe and Convertible, including outstanding style updates for 328i and 335i models and a new engine for 335i models. The 2011 3 Series Coupe and Convertible models will go on sale in Spring 2010. Unchanged are each car's essential attributes of rear-wheel drive (xDrive is available on the Coupe), close-to-perfect 50-50 weight distribution, remarkably precise steering, and skillfully engineered suspension.

All-new is the engine for the 335i model. This turbocharged, all-aluminum engine features nearly the same 'short block' and 3.0-liter displacement of its predecessor, but the result is an engine that is more responsive, more fuel efficient, and cleaner-running. Preserved is the previous engine's output of 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, and a 7,000 rpm redline. The 6-speed manual gearbox remains standard, and the well-known 6-speed Steptronic automatic is optional, now featuring ''pull-style'' shift paddles on the multifunction steering wheel.
