For sale by owner. Great condition 2008 328i Coupe in a configuration that emphasizes performance and style. The Black exterior color matches the tan and wood interior perfectly and the sport package brings the car few inches lower. Great stance and rare special edition BBS rims make the car stand out and will catch you looks and compliments. The manual transmission compliments the car's overall sport tuned performance and shaves off 0-60 time, weight and maintenance cost. Another cool feature is the Xenon Adaptive Headlights - they really help on tight turns and dark roads! I also drove the car for 3 winters with snow tires and the car handles great in the snow. All repairs and maintenance were done at the dealership since i owned the car (records and receipts available) and overall i never had any unusual problems with the car. Awesome car, ready to be enjoyed by someone else. I will be upgrading to the new 2 series coupe. See more description below. The car has been always serviced on time with all required service by the manufacturer. This car was always serviced at BMW dealer and certified shops and all documentation and receipts are included. Most recent maintenance items completed in the past 6 months: Oil change, Wheel Alignment, Power steering flush, Radiator coolant flush and Break fluid flush. The car runs and drives great. 2008 BMW 328i Coupe Sport Package Manual Black on Tan Leather Vehicle Condition:Always maintained at BMW and certified shops with all repair receipts included.

Additional Information: 2008 BMW 3 Series CoupeBenefits of Driving a 2008 BMW 3 Series CoupeThe 2008 BMW 3-Series continues to be the benchmark against which other entry-level luxury cars are measured, mainly courtesy of its excellent driving experience. Power, braking, and handling are perfectly matched to the vehicle's size and intended usage. The way BMW takes care of business inside the cockpit also has a lot to do with the popularity of this breed. The 3-Series makes sure no buyer is left behind by offering four body styles, three engines, and both rear- and all-wheel drive. 2008 also will see the new M3 in coupe, sedan, and convertible form, adding racecar-like performance to the lineup.What's new for 2008?BMW's excellent 3-Series returns for 2008 with minimal changes to the core lineup, save for the addition of the all-wheel-drive 335xi coupe (previously available only with rear-wheel drive). Paddle shifters are newly optional on the entry-level 328 versions. On the 335i coupe, a new 19-inch alloy wheel set is available, and the standard 16-inch alloy wheels have been restyled for the 328 sedans and sport wagons.Model StrengthsDriving pleasure par excellencewide variety of bodies and drivetrainsthe best inline six-cylinder engines for those who love motoringthe near-supercar M3.Model ReviewBMW's 3-Series has always been an exemplar of how to combine luxury and sportiness, and this continues with the 2008 versions. The 328i features BMW's exceptional 3.0L engine, which uses double-VANOS technology to steplessly adjust both the intake and exhaust timing on way to producing 230 horsepower. The 335i models are powered by a twin-turbocharged version of the same six-cylinder. This gem of an engine produces 300 horsepower and an equal amount of torque. Both six-cylinder powerplants are matched with a superb six-speed manual transmission, while a six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission is a $1,275 option.

Nice.Handling ratingVGHandling commentsSo much info through steering! Even the entry-level 3 Series has it. Excellent grip, too. So much compliance combined with sharp steering response and body control, the 3 Series is truly a class leader when it comes to handling.Track Test Results0-45 mph (sec.)4.20-60 mph (sec.)6.40-75 mph (sec.)9.61/4-mile (sec. @ mph)14.6@94.70-60 with 1 foot of rollout (sec.)6.0Braking, 30-0 mph (ft.)2760-0 mph (ft.)110Slalom, 6 x 100 ft.
