2011 BMW 3-Series Convertible (328i, 335i)




The latest E92 BMW 3-Series was first introduced in 2007, and now features a very fresh facelift and engine changes -- including the introduction of the new, range-topping 335is Convertible. The E92 3-Series convertible is BMW's first model with a retractable hardtop. The only variation between the 328i and 335i models is in the power plant. The 328i uses BMW's normally aspirated 3.0-liter inline six, offering 230 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 200 foot-pounds of torque at 2,750 rpm.The 335i has a new N54 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder with a single twin-scroll turbocharger, high-precision fuel injection, and an all-aluminum crankcase, pushing the car to 60 mph in just 5.3 seconds.
