Proceeded only by reputation – that’s one way to describe the new 2008 BMW 328i Coupe. This vehicle, which has rear-wheel drive, is impressive with its novel engine start/stop, which starts or turns off the engine at the push of a button.

This model BMW is one that’s not afraid to go fast on the road. Its V6 engine puts out 230-horse power and electronic throttle control, and uses a six-speed manual transmission, and gets up to 28 highway mpg.

Features like the ‘08 328i Coupe’s Dynamic Cruise Control, which has the ability to adjust to surrounding traffic patterns, and its Coded Driveaway Protection show it is a vehicle that prioritizes both technology and safety in one sleek package.

Adding to the suave appearance of this BMW include features like its xenon adaptive headlights and chrome-plated exhaust tips, and a contributor to convenience is a tire pressure monitoring system and heated dual power mirrors and windshield washer jets.

Looking inside, style is not lacking here either, as the 328i Coupe has leatherette upholstery and a leather-wrapped sport steering wheel. Passengers are kept more comfortable with the automatic climate control with air filtration and an automatic safety belt assistant gives even more ease to this ride.

It’s hard not to feel safe when cruising in this sporty coupe, as it uses an advanced system for integrative deployment of active and safety features, and there’s also seat-mounted airbags for side impact protection. Children are kept in mind as well, as the 328i Coupe uses LATCH attachments for child-restraint safety installation.

BMW’S 2008 328i Coupe can be a car for the family, a singleton or a couple. With its combination of style, safety and technology, any BMW would be interested in this year’s model.
