Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), also known as "sticker" price, is a recommended selling price that automakers give a new car that is above the invoice price paid by the dealer. Editor's note: This review, published in February 2012, originally cited EPA mileage estimates of 24/36 mpg city/highway for the 2012 BMW 328i sedan equipped with an automatic transmission. Mileage estimates for the manual 328i and all versions of the 335i sedan remain unchanged. If the sport-sedan category were high school, the BMW 3 Series would be the captain of the football team, and maybe the debate squad … and the chess club. It's popular (typically selling 90,000-100,000 units annually in the U. S. ), and everyone wants to be like it (Cadillac is only the most recent example, boldly pitting its upcoming ATS sedan against the 3 Series in advertisements). A classed-up, roomier interior, more power and substantially improved gas mileage breathe new life into the redesigned 2012 BMW 3 Series sedan, which should continue to dominate the sport-sedan market. Only the 3 Series' sedan version has been redone, entering its sixth generation in 328i and 335i guise. Fall 2012 will see the addition of all-wheel-drive versions, with the "xi" suffix, along with the first-ever hybrid 3 Series, the ActiveHybrid3 sedan. Source: www.cars.com
