The new BMW 3 Series Coupé and Convertible, elegant style and sporting performance at their best.

Driving pleasure in the BMW 3 Series has reached new heights yet again in the 2010 model year. Carefully conceived modifications in design, updated engines, as well as innovative model features give both the new BMW 3 Series Coupé and the new BMW 3 Series Convertible even greater appeal and style. New design features at the front, side and rear precisely integrated into the car give even greater emphasis to the sporting and elegant character of the BMW 3 Series Coupé and the BMW 3 Series Convertible. At the same time the modifications in design make the silhouette of both models even sleeker and more dynamic as a sign of superior performance.

As an additional highlight, the BMW 3 Series Coupé and Convertible now feature headlights with newly designed contour lines, a modified structure, and innovative LED light technology. New paintwork colours, an updated range of leather upholstery, make a further contribution to the elegant looks of both models and the supreme driving experience they have to offer.

Benefiting from innovations in the power train, the BMW 3 Series further strengthens its status as an outstandingly dynamic and exceptionally efficient range of models in the mid-market segment. The top-of-the-range BMW 335i available on all body variants of the BMW 3 Series now comes with a 3.0-litre straight-six featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology, High Precision Injection and VALVETRONIC valve management combining supreme output of 306 hp with fuel economy and CO2 management once again enhanced by a significant margin.

The 325i Coupé and 325i Convertible comes, as before, with 2.5-litre six-cylinder engines with Valvetronic technology developing 218 hp. Furthermore the engine range of the new BMW 3 Series Coupé and the new BMW 3 Series Convertible has been extended, and are now available as 320i with a 2.0-litre engine producing 156 hp, complete with an electrical glass roof or a retractable hardtop.
