(Oct 28, 2010) — Bavarian Motor Works, also known as BMW, is famous for giving the opportunity for the driver to feel the ride of a sports car, while experiencing the luxury in side of it. BMW is famous for its 7-series, M-series and X-series. However, the 328i is one of the most well known coupes these days. There is not a car out there that gives the driver a better feeling for the road and gives a better performance with regards to how the car reacts to the road with its engine power and its steering control. Since it is said that there is not a car out there that gives the driver a better feeling for the road, I decided to experience this motion first hand. I found this car enjoyable to drive due to the reaction to the road with its engine power and its steering control. Not only does the car’s feature give you power behind the wheel, its luxurious cockpit left me and the passenger indubitably desiring to never leave the car. The 328i has a worthy performance for a coupe: zero to 60 mph in 6.4 seconds and an electronically governed top speed of 130 mph. It has a fuel economy that leaves drivers satisfied: 23 miles per gallon in the city and 36 mpg on the highway. This is a sports car hidden as a family sedan when it is a 4-door sedan. There are two door coupe models of this car that have stiffer suspensions and wider tires and sometimes bigger capacity engines. Therefore, they can be designated as sports cars, but the standard sedan looks innocent at first, especially with tame colors (white, gray, black). However, once you sit behind the steering wheel, you know you have horsepower that is eager to move you around and stopping power engineered to keep you safe when you get too excited! But BMW engineers always tweak the performance of this classic. Where once it was high-rpm, flirting-with-redline horsepower that punched you in the back, now it’s low-rpm torque: A big, fat 425 pound-feet of torque (between 1,750 and 2,250 rpm) swats you like a humpback’s tail as you round a corner, unwind the wheel and open up the throttle. As a driver, I notice these things and the fact that the driving controls are designed to make the driver focus on the road and be able to get the maximum out of the driving experience. Long trips are not that long when you have a car that makes the whole experience livelier and comfortable at the same time. You sometime end up wishing there would be a storm that brings an element of unpredictability into the control you have when the elements are favorable. The 328i is an extremely popular car in the 25 to 35 crowd, if money is not a factor. When asked, most drivers like the fact that it looks conservative enough and suitable for a visit to your girlfriend’s family, and also capable of (reasonable) racing around town. BMW has been able to bring together the best of these two formerly irreconcilable worlds and so you can be whomever you want to be and not be restrained by it. Automotive surveys support the 328i’s popularity. This car has been showing up in the yearly Top Ten selections in Car and Driver magazine for decades, and gets high ratings in Motor Trend in every comparison and shout outs they conduct.The fact that it has a long history going back to the 2002 ti version, which was really the first ever sports sedan, helps a lot. It also was (now replaced by the 1 series) the entry point for the BMW line (before going to the 5 and the 7 series). In a word, driving it is phenomenal and makes the chore of commuting a pleasure instead.
