2007 BMW 3 SERIES SEDANS & SPORTS WAGONS
Product Highlights
General
- BMW's most accessible, best-selling Series, now in its 5th generation
- Initial models were 325i Sedan and 330i Sedan, both 4-door sedans with rear-wheel drive
- In fall '05, three all-wheel-drive models were added: 325xi Sedan, 325xi Sports Wagon and 330xi Sedan
- As of fall '06, the entire Series was enhanced with new models, new engines, additional interior upgrades and new colors. The new model lineup includes: 328i Sedan, 328xi Sedan, 328i Sports Wagon, 328xi Sports Wagon, and 335i Sedan. All models powered by an all-new generation of BMW's 3.0-liter smooth, high-performing "straight six" engines
- In March '07, the all-wheel-drive 335xi Sedan joined the 2007 3 Series line-up
- The 335i and 335xi Sedans are powered by BMW's new 6-cylinder, twin-turbocharged engine
Engines
- All-new 6-cylinder engines; new generation called N52 (normally aspirated) and N54 (turbocharged)
- Magnesium /aluminum composite construction of N52 engine block
- The significantly increased loads and cylinder pressures produced by the turbocharged N54 engine requires the use of an aluminum engine structure with cast-iron cylinder sleeves

- Electric coolant pump, volume-controlled oil pump are further innovations
