Remember when rear-wheel drive was the rule rather than the exception?. Nowadays, as one of the few manufacturers not to embrace front-wheel drive, BMW is happy to be the exception. It's the reason why the 2009 BMW 3 Series is the sports sedan of choice for driving enthusiasts. Because only feeding power to the rear wheels gives you point-and-go handling, unfettered by understeer and steering inertia. When the road does throw up something you weren't expecting though, you can rest easy in the knowledge that safety systems such as CBC and DSC will help you keep your 3 Series under control.

Run your eyes along the graceful profile of the 2009 BMW 3 Series sedan.

It's a design that seems instantly familiar, yet looks thoroughly modern - in short, a natural evolution of the classic 3 shape.
