Why it stands out

The 2016 BMW 3 Series is a compelling choice for those who enjoy driving, reaffirming its reputation as the "Ultimate Driving Machine." The model boasts a new turbocharged 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine in the 340i, delivering 320 horsepower and impressive handling characteristics. Its multiple driving modes—Eco Pro, Comfort, Sport, and Sport+—allow drivers to tailor performance to their preferences. Enhancements to the electric steering and suspension for 2016 rectify past criticisms of disconnection, making for a more engaging drive. However, some users have noted that the electronic steering system may compromise the road feel compared to older models. Overall, the 3 Series' luxurious yet purposeful interior, combined with its blend of sportiness and practicality, makes it stand out in the crowded compact luxury segment.
