2012 BMW 328i Sedan - Car and Driver
Are you ready for a BMW 3-series capable of automatic hands-off parallel parking. Welcome to the 2012 328i, BMW’s stab at charming the More Generation. Test-driving the new 3-series this week in Spain revealed a shuffle of BMW’s priority deck. With the sixth-generation 3-series, BMW is reaching beyond mere dynamic attributes to stir comfort, convenience, and far higher efficiency into the mix. To appeal to those demanding everything from their daily driver—that “we deserve more” crowd—the new F30 is slightly larger inside and out and loaded with features hard-core drivers—the “we love our BMWs” set—never imagined. The fifth-gen 3-series greeted its driver with a secret handshake: high-effort steering that bends the car smartly into every corner with total authority over body motion. Six Becomes Four (but There’s Still a Six, Too). For almost 20 years, the 3-series faithful have enjoyed the spellbinding whir of inline-six engines that were seemingly sent from on high.
