While you can enter, start, and drive the 2011 328i without ever taking the key out of your pocket - perfect for a comfortable escape from Florida's heat - we found that the 328i is still built first and foremost for drivability.
When I say 'drivability', I mean performance, handling, and safety. So, if you like feeling the road while feeling safe on the road at the same time, I encourage you to keep reading.
The 2011 328i powers your driving experience with a three liter, six-cylinder engine that takes you from 0 to 60 in less time than it took to you read this sentence (6.4 seconds). It also delivers the quickness you expect from a sport-sedan, because it's rear-wheel drive system gives you the torque and weight transfer you need for superb acceleration.
That same rear-wheel drive system provides effortless handling in the new 328i because it delivers the traction, braking, and steering radius to easily maneuver the car. I totally believe that these braking and handling features are part of the reason why the 328i has a storied performance pedigree today. You often see magazines compare the 328i to cars with more horsepower, but the 328i still wins. If you look at the results, they say it's because of the 328's better braking, handling, and overall control.
Overall control is - of course - related to safety. The new 328i is equipped to keep you safe in a number of ways, including tires that allow you to safely reach your destination even if you get a flat tire. Because of the screws, nails, and other debris from construction currently sitting on Florida's roads, such as the unending construction project called I95, these run-flat tires can keep you safe and get you to your destination on a daily basis.
Safety is also built in to the design of the 328, like the door-anchoring system that acts like a cage to protect you and whoever else may be in the cabin with you, in case of a collision. This protection is also enhanced by front, side, and rear airbags as well as crash sensors that automatically turns on your hazard lights and unlocks every door to prevent you from being trapped inside the vehicle. The hazard lights lets others know that you need help.
The 2011 BMW 328i delivers outstanding performance in a sports sedan while it's safety features remain unrivaled.
