America's Top 40 New Cars
11. BMW 335I
WHY IT'S ON OUR HIT PARADE: Superb balance, driving dynamics, and acceleration that rivals M3s of not too long ago. Rear drive. You can still get a manual transmission, but the six-speed automatic is just as quick. High-quality, strong resale value. Choose between coupe, sedan, and hardtop convertible.
COOL FACT: Rev-happy, sweet-sounding, direct-injection 300- horse twin-turbo straight six stands out in a V-6-powered world. A new, high tech/performance/mileage direct-injection turbodiesel version has just arrived.
SUM UP: Still the definitive expression of the compact sport sedan.
