BMW 3 SERIES COUPE / CONVERTIBLE (2006-CURRENT)
We Say...
A 3 Series with 2 doors spliced off may not seem like the best ingredient for a coupe, but believe us--it is. Although the look is a bit too restrained, the 3 Series Coupe is one great everyday sports car with enough style, space and pace to warrant serious consideration. 335i is BMW's first bi-turbo engine, and it's already become legend.
You'll never need another sports car after this.
Looking like a 3 Series may turn some folks off.
