BMW 328i Sports Wagon

The new BMW 328i Sports Wagon. With a new, more powerful 3.0 liter 6-cylinder engine, new double-pivot front suspension, and 5-link rear suspension, it offers such incredible performance, it’s easy to forget it’s a wagon. Until you have cargo to load. That’s when the hatch with easy access through the rear glass, split-folding rear seats, and large rear cargo area remind you that you’ve got the dynamic drive and fuel efficiency of a BMW sedan, plus the utility of a wagon.
