BMW 3-Series Coupe 

The BMW 3-Series Coupe is the last of its kind, as it is now 4-series. So with this model we’re taking a lustful look back into recent, but highly relevant, history. BMW offered a 328i and a 335i for the 3-series coupe, both of which come in rear wheel drive, with all wheel available (excluding the convertible). The “N55” engine made its debut in this 2011 model, with a 3.0-liter displacement and producing 300hp and 300 lb-ft of torque for the 335i, while the 328i still squeezes out 230hp. What’s special about the N55 is that it marks the return of the turbocharger to BMW’s petrol motors with EfficientDynamtics technology. This motor was made to improve upon the biggest problem with turbocharged engines, ‘turbo lag’. Apart from power, the outside comes with adaptive Xenon headlights and l-shaped taillights unique to the coupe. Interior features include a center console for the rear passengers, leatherette upholstery and ambiance lighting.

Since these are all used models at this point prices will vary, but are well worth it for the driving experience.
