BMW 3-Series Coupé (06 on) - Review

Review by Simon Harris on
Last Updated: 16 August 2011
As four-seat coupes go, few cars are as good looking or as enjoyable to drive as the BMW 3-Series Coupe - it's a classic design with a sleek yet understated air while inside it's beautifully finished with top grade materials. Only minor elements such as the door handles are carried over from the 3-Series saloon - the rest is bespoke to the Coupe. It's as good to drive as it looks too - the low slung driving position is perfect, the steering precise and responsive and body control excellent. It's also surprisingly practical with a good sized boot, although taller passengers may find the rear cramped. But when it comes to performance the 3-Series Coupe doesn't disappoint with some cracking engines - the 335i and 335d being the pick of the bunch. It was given a mild facelift in early 2010 along with more powerful and efficient engines.
