2022 BMW 3 Series Review

BMW 3 Series: Experience the Pure Adrenaline of 255 Horsepower

The BMW 3 Series delivers impressive performance right out of the gate. It hits the ground running with a 2.0L BMW TwinPower Turbo I-4 engine that produces an exciting 255 horsepower and 294 lb-ft of torque. This engine pairs with the 8-speed automatic transmission with Sport and Manual shift modes. Steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters complete this athletic package.

All the components of this powertrain work together to propel you from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.6 seconds with standard rear-wheel drive.

If you need a little more stability for your wintertime commutes, consider the available xDrive all-wheel drive (AWD) system. This drivetrain is smart enough to actively adapt to your roadway conditions to deliver top-quality traction control. With this powertrain configuration, your BMW 3 Series can go from 0 to 60 MPH in just 5.3 seconds.

Enjoy High-End Connectivity Inside the Cabin of the BMW 3 Series

Now that we've had a look under the hood, let's take in the refinement of the cabin space. We start with SensaTec Upholstery that's accented by standard Fine Wood trim with Ash Grey-Brown high gloss. Whether you're driving to the office or meeting a friend on the golf course, you can set the mood by connecting your phone using:

• Apple CarPlay™
• Android Auto™
• Bluetooth® wireless

These features allow you to link your smartphone with your BMW 3 Series, so you can stream your favorite music, podcasts, audiobooks, and more directly through your sedan's 205-watt, 10-speaker sound system. All your media will be accessible through the 8.8-inch touchscreen display in the center stack as well.

A Roomy Interior with 42 Inches of Legroom

When it comes to your sedan's cabin, comfort is key. You need to know that you'll have room to move around and stretch out when you take your place in the power front sport seats. Even though the BMW 3 Series is a compact sedan-lending itself to agility on the city streets-it's amply spacious on the inside. Observe the interior dimensions for yourself:

• Headroom (front/rear): 38.7/37.6 inches
• Legroom (front/rear): 42/35.2 inches

As the driver, you'll enjoy 42 inches of legroom, which means this is a sedan that's equally suited to all drivers. Overall, there's room inside this luxury car for five passengers, which makes it an ideal family car as well.

On a sunny day, go ahead and open the 2-way power glass moonroof and let in some fresh air and sunlight. On clear summer nights, you can look up and do some stargazing.
