Compact-class coupes and convertibles from BMW present fresh designs riding on an expanded rear-wheel-drive (RWD) platform. The 328i and 328xi stock a 3.0-liter, in-line-six with 230 horsepower through a manual six-speed or six-speed electronic automatic with Steptronic manual shift control. BMW’s 335i and 335xi use the in-line-six with twin turbo-chargers and direct fuel injection. They zip with 300 horsepower through the six-speed manual or Steptronic automatic.
