The new 2007 BMW 335i E92 on the road.
BMW has officially unveiled the new 2007 BMW 335i and 328i coupes, which arrive in U.S. showrooms this September. The 335 has a new 300 horsepower inline six-cylinder with twin-turbochargers, high-precision fuel injection, and an all-aluminum crankcase, pushing the car to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds.
BMW has announced its fourth-generation 3-series convertible and released these photos of its first folding-hardtop car. The tin roof is a three-piece unit operated either by a single switch on the center console or a button on the key fob for remote opening. This feature will only work within about 15 feet of the car, which seems like nothing more than a party trick. If you have to be standing next to the car to operate the top, why not be sitting in it?
The 3-series will sink its top into the trunk in 22 seconds, with the conversion back into a coupe taking just a second longer. With the top up, the trunk will hold 12.4 cubic feet; top stowed, the 3-series will still take on 8.8 cubes of cargo. The BMW’s closest rival is the Volvo C70, which also features a folding hardtop and a vestigial back seat. The Volvo’s trunk will swallow just a touch more with the top up, but holds less than the BMW with the top down. The rest of the current crop of hardtop convertibles are tighter in the trunk both as coupes and convertibles.
