2009 BMW 335 Overview

Introduction

The BMW 335i delivers a special mix of sporting performance, practicality and European luxury in a compact package. It's the car that defines 'sport sedan,' and the benchmark every luxury car maker from Acura to Volvo aims at when it develops an entry-level luxury sport sedan.

The rear-wheel drive 335i is available in coupe, sedan and convertible bodies, while the all-wheel drive 335i xDrive is available in coupe and sedan only. Power is provided by a 3.0-liter, twin turbo, inline six-cylinder engine that puts out 300 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission is standard on all variations, with a six-speed automatic transmission optional. Standard safety features include six airbags, four wheel ABS disc brakes with adaptive brakelights, traction and stability control, as well as pop-up roll-over protection on the convertible.

For 2009, the sedan gets an interior/exterior styling refresh.
