2007 BMW 328xi Sedan - CNET Reviews
BMW puts one of the most solid feeling cars on the road with the all-wheel-drive 2007 BMW 328xi. Our test car was the sedan version and, although it didn't come with a navigation system or premium sound, we were still impressed with its cabin... Its handling was also impressive, although accelerator modulation proved difficult and its power steering made low-speed turning require serious effort. A Sparkling Graphite Metallic paint job and its sedan body at first glance made our test car look mundane. But a second look reveals the car's performance cues, such as how the cabin is set back slightly, allowing a longer nose. All of the interior materials have a feeling of quality, while the switchgear, even the plastic buttons, feels solid. Without this option, as in our test car, you get an orange LCD, which is starting to look a little dated in this era of cell phones with full color screens. Test the tech: Out of control. Because this was the all-wheel-drive version of the BMW 328, we felt compelled to see how it handled under extreme conditions. So we resolved to corner it so hard that the wheels would break free of the pavement. For this cornering test, we jammed the accelerator as we entered a tight turn. Source: www.cnet.com
