Take the BMW 335i off your list: It's now the 340i - Autoweek
2016 BMW 3-series gets more power, hybrid version. BMW is refreshing the ubiquitous 3-series for 2016. The car that’s responsible for one in four global BMW sales gets more power from the available I6, a revised suspension setup and an improved electric power steering system that the company says... BMW introduced the 3-series in 1975, but it didn’t make it to the U. S. until 1976. That makes 2016 a 40th birthday of sorts, so here’s to you, 3-series. It still uses BMW’s TwinPower technology, which consists of a twin-scroll turbo, VANOS variable camshaft timing and Valvetronic variable valve lift. The 320i and 328i continue with 180 hp/200 lb-ft and 240 hp/255 lb-ft, respectively from their four-cylinder engines. BMW changed the geometry of the chassis with new front struts (including five-bolt upper anchors), a redesigned electric power steering system, revamped rear dampers and updated stability control. BMW says these updates translate to better handling and more feedback to the driver. Body roll is also reduced, according to BMW. It includes the Variable Sport Steering system, Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport brakes with high-temp brake pads. Visually, the 2016 BMW 3-series looks mostly the same. Source: autoweek.com
