Introducing the 2009 BMW 328i

For years, the BMW 3-Series has maintained the lofty position of being the most widely-sold premium vehicle in the world, and we suspect 2009 will be no different. With the introduction of the 2009 BMW 3-Series slated for release this Fall, BMW is positioned to extend its dominance in the luxury class even further with this newly-designed line-up of 3-Series vehicles.

Sleeker design modifications, revised engines, and further innovations in both performance and style all make an appearance on the 2009 BMW 3-Series. A selection of more environmentally conscious, fuel-economical engines graces the new 3-Series, while performance has been enhanced with the available xDrive - BMW's proprietary electronically-controlled all-wheel drive system in conjunction with its 6-speed automatic transmission.

A striking design accentuates the front end, sharpening the 2009 3-series' already elegant shape and while new visual side features place emphasis on its sleek profile. The two rear LED light clusters unify to create a handsome, sophisticated appearance. On the inside, the cabin has been enhanced with modern, high quality components that build upon a sporty elegance, clever ergonomics and comfortable layout of high-tech gadgetry. iDrive makes an appearance here, further adding to the sense of luxury, utility and performance.

With its refined style, perfected performance and slew of high-tech components, the 2009 BMW 3-series will make the best luxury-performance car better. Scheduled for a debut in Fall of this year, BMW will certainly make a splash in the luxury-performance class with this incredible offering.

The BMW M3 Sedan, Coupe and Convertible

It's a year of firsts for BMW. Recently, BMW released its all-new 1-Series, a model that has already met with much critical and public praise, and now has released the first-ever M3 with a V-8 engine. What does this mean for the 2009 BMW M3?

Well, for starters, the 2009 M3 can transmit 414 horsepower to its rear-wheel drive with its close-ratio six-speed manual gearbox, with peak torque climbing up to a lofty 295 pound-feet, allowing the vehicle to accelerate from 0-60 in an impressive 4.8 seconds and reach an overall 155 mph. Adding to the year of firsts is the M3's interesting roof design. BMW claims it is the first production vehicle in its segment with a roof made of reinforced carbon fiber, a tactic often used in professional racing sports to lower overall vehicle weight, and drop the center of gravity. This enhances the speed, nimbleness and handling of the vehicle, making the M3 yet another perfectly-optimized Ultimate Driving Machine. Throw in weight-optimized aluminum components, and other little feats of weight engineering, and you can see the intent within the design- to make the lightest, most responsive and powerful production vehicle that can be made. BMW pays attention to all the little details, and they all add up to an incredible driving experience.

Aesthetically, the 2009 BMW M3 has a lot going for it as well. Almost everything on the vehicle has been carefully redesigned. Its body features such as the flared wheel arches, air-intake scoops, dual tailpipes and side sills are all custom-designed for the 2009 M3. A careful 50/50 weight balance on the axles truly makes this a chassis designed to be "faster than its engine". All and all, it has an athletic, sporting stance that separates it from the competition.

Stop in and test drive a 2009 BMW M coupe, sedan or convertible model, as their arrival spells sheer driving delight to any and all drivers that appreciate a true love of handling, power and performance.
