Super nice and extra clean car like brand new!! Under fully factory warranty!!!The 2021 BMW 3-series epitomizes the modern sports sedan with its comprehensive performance and innate sophistication. It also earns a spot on our Editors' Choice list. The German brand offers two phenomenal gas engines–a 255-hp four-cylinder and a 382-hp straight-six–that are as quick as they are refined. There's also a plug-in hybrid for the green crowd. While we're sad that BMW eliminated the 3's manual transmission, the perceptive eight-speed automatic is a worthy substitute. What's more, the 3's fantastic chassis can seamlessly shift from calm to frisky at a moment's notice. Unfortunately, its steering—although improved over the previous generation's—still lacks the tactility that enthusiasts once idolized. The 2021 3-series fulfills its mission as an entry-level premium sedan with ample cabin and trunk space as well as copious amounts of luxury and technology.For 2021, the 3-series lineup sees the return of the 330e plug-in-hybrid model. Compared with the last-gen PHEV, the latest version boasts several improvements, such as a higher top speed in electric mode (87 mph versus 75), a larger battery (12.0 kilowatt-hours versus 7.6), and a longer EPA-rated all-electric range (up to 22 miles versus 14). The M340i also adds a 48-volt hybrid system.We prefer the gas-powered versions to the plug-in hybrid. There's no question that the M340i packs the most performance, but its asking price is too high for us. Instead, we'd choose the 330i for its surprisingly sufficient power and truly athletic behavior. Those who want all-wheel drive can add it for $2000. We would equip our example with the M Sport package that brings additional features, unique styling bits, and a specially tuned suspension. We'd also add the Premium package for its blind-spot monitoring, hands-free passive entry, head-up display, heated steering wheel, larger touchscreen, and more. The Track Handling package optimizes the sedan's driving dynamics via adaptive dampers and upgraded brakes. Other desirable but affordable options include the Harman/Kardon sound system, heated front and rear seats, remote start, power-operated trunklid, and a Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless charging. |
