BMW 2 Series

notice of the little brand from Bavaria. Is the new 2 better than the departed
1 Series? Yes, in every way Plus, you can get BMW’s AWD system.

BMW 3 Series/Gran Turismo/M3
Base Price $33,520-$62,950
Body Type Sedan, hatchback, wagon
Major The funny-looking but versatile Gran Turismo is
the perfect car for the driver who can’t decide between the 3 Series wagon and
the X3. Big news for car lovers is the arrival of the new M3. Also offered as
the M4 two-door, it finally has the guts to take the power fight to its
adversaries and imitators.
Driver's Choice $8150 is a crazy amount of money to
spend on brakes, but the optional massive carbon-ceramic stoppers on the M3
might be worth it.
