The Chicago 3 Series has done it again!  Car and Driver announced that the BMW 3 Series has topped the 10 Best Cars list once again, for the 19th straight time to be exact…..What a perfect time to find out what makes these Bimmers so fantastic.

The 3 Series comes in a variety of styles:  a sedan, coupe, wagon, or a hardtop convertible- great options for everyone from the typical suburban family (maybe a wagon?)  to the bachelor looking to cruise around with the top down (convertible?).

One feature that makes this line great are the powerful engines.  The  Chicago 3 Series entry-level model is the 328i, that comes with a 230-hp, 3.0 L, 6 cylinder engine.  The next step up is the 335i, which provides 300-hp!  The most powerful engine can be found on the M3, which has a 414 horsepower, 4.0 L, v8 engine.   Definitely a lot of choices available to the right driver!

The 2010 3 Series has features that can also be found in your Chicago used BMW 3 Series, such as 8-way adjustable seats and 2-way adjustable head rests to keep the driver comfy at all times.  You’ll also find remote keyless entry, dynamic cruise control, and BMW’s Advanced Safety System, to name a few.

While we cannot list every single reason why the 3 series continues to top Car and Driver’s 10 best list, the results speak for themselves.  The new and Chicago used car BMW models in this lineup are reliable, drive and handle well, and have modern features that make this luxury car a must have!
