Short Take

The 3 Series has agile handling, a supple ride, and smooth, six-cylinder engines. The revised interior is comfortable and luxurious. Handling is taut and agile. Crash-test results are impressive, but the convertible didn't do well in the IIHS rear-crash test. A turbodiesel engine arrived for 2009.
