2012 BMW 3-Series sedan

The sixth generation 3-Series wears all-new styling on a platform that is wider and longer than before. At launch, the US models consist of the four-cylinder 328i and six-cylinder 335i. Both models are rear-wheel-drive with a standard 6-speed manual transmission and optional 8-speed automatic. BMW will add all-wheel-drive 328i xDrive and 335i xDrive models later in the model year.

2012 BMW 6-Series Convertible

The second-generation 6-series has grown appreciably longer and wider. The 650i convertible retains its soft-top convertible and four-passenger seating. Power is provided by either a 3.0L inline 6 (640i) or a 4.4l V8 (650i) rated at 400-bhp. An eight-speed automatic is standard on the 640i. The 650i offers a six-speed manual in addition to the automatic. The 6-Series range now includes an all-wheel-drive model (650i xDrive). The new interior features a standard 10.2-inch center screen designed to minimize glare.
