Review:
The BMW 3 series is one of the most-respected entry-level luxury vehicles on the market. With its classic BMW looks and highly tuned handling, it’s a car worth owning just once in your life. The diesel version has a modest bump in fuel economy over the highly efficient and new-for-2011 gas engine, but like the Audi A3, the diesel version also has a small price differential over the gas version.
