The 2010 BMW 3 Series is a benchmark in the compact luxury car segment. Available as a sedan, coupe, convertible, or wagon, the 3 Series offers rear-wheel drive standard, with all-wheel drive available in select trims. Engine options include a 230-hp inline-six in the 328i, and the lauded 300-hp twin-turbo inline-six propelling the 335i. Transmissions include a standard six-speed manual, a six-speed automatic, and a seven-speed dual-clutch for 335is trims. Notable features include a high-end interior with real wood or aluminum accents and the iDrive infotainment system. In terms of safety, the sedan and wagon received top ratings from IIHS for frontal-offset and side-impact crash protection. The lineup's reputation for superior handling and sporty performance continues to hold firm with the 2010 model year.
