2008 2009 BMW 3 Series car review
The 2008 2009 BMW 3 Series is a two door car which seats 4 passengers. It comes in convertible, coupe, sedan and wagon variants. All 328i models come with rear wheel drive. The 2008 2009 328 models have been provided with a 3.0 liter engine, while the 335i and 335 xi come with a slightly changed engine. All cars have been provided with 6 speed manual gearbox, while the six speed automatic is optional across the board on all 3 series models. In the 328-xi category, the coupe, sedan and wagon are available with an all wheel drive. 16 inch alloy wheels are the regular tires for all 328 models, which are also provided with automatic headlights, heated mirrors, leather seats and a 10 speaker cd stereo.
The 3 series cars in the model year 2008 2009 have become bigger in all manners. The coupe and convertible models in the 328 have 17 inch alloy tires and xenon headlamps. The car is two inch longer, 3 inches bigger, which has translated into a 1.4 inch increase in its wheel base. All 3 series models have been provided with leatherette seating, and true leather is optional. This increase has lead to more seating room for those seating in the back. Not only this, people seated in the back can adjust the vents separately for temperature and air volume. People seated in the back of the car have more space especially for their knees, but very tall people will find their knees brushing the front seat. The car has been given a larger boot. It has 12 cubic feet of space.

The car has been provided with front and side airbags, and knee bags to keep ones legs safe. All seats have been provided with 3 point belts and head restraints that can be adjusted. Children safety has been kept in mind while designing the 3 series. Children have anchors that keep them stable in their seats. The 3 series cars have been provided with the latest versions of stability control and traction control. Another major feature of the 3 series is that it has made key entry a thing of the past. The driver has now equipment called the ID sensor, with which he can enter the car and start it without touching the ignition switch.
