Park Distance Control
So intuitive, it helps you see things you normally can't. Park Distance Control uses sensors in the front and rear to measure exactly how far you are from other vehicles and unseen objects when parking. As your bumper approaches a stationary object, the image on the iDrive screen changes and beeping becomes faster, turning into a constant tone when the distance is less than 12 inches.
Dynamic Stability Control
Nasty weather. Terrible road conditions. A deer crossing. When a driver loses control, there's usually more than one factor involved. Using built-in sensors to continually monitor multiple variables - such as speed, steering angle, yaw, brake pressure and traction - our Dynamic Stability Control system can detect and, more importantly, help correct the loss of wheel traction immediately. All of which helps to keep you in control, no matter what the circumstances.
Xenon Adaptive Headlights

Our Xenon Adaptive Headlights with distinctive corona rings began as a groundbreaking idea that went on to become a major advancement in safety. Using an electromechanical system, our adaptive headlights follow the direction of the wheels. So as you begin cornering, the headlights turn into and around the bend, which allows you to see more of the road, sooner. Xenon lights, another BMW innovation, help provide clarity by emitting twice as much light as halogen light, while using half as much energy.
Enhanced Braking System
We believe being able to stop quickly is even more important than being able to drive fast. That's why our enhanced braking system does more than just brake. If it's raining, it'll dry off the rotors. If you're stopped on a hill, it'll keep you from rolling. If you quickly pull your foot off the accelerator, it prepares to brake just as quickly. And, if you're braking repeatedly, it knows you need more force.,
BMW Assist™ with Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
Enjoy added safety, security and convenience with BMW Assist™ services. 

With BMW Assist™, you have a direct connection to the BMW Assist Response Center, any time, day or night. If you're in an accident, need roadside assistance or have a customer service question, just push a button from within your vehicle to speak with a response specialist. If you're in a serious accident, crash sensors will trigger the system for you. And, if your car is stolen, you can access stolen vehicle recovery services by phone. 

In addition, BMW Assist™ includes: TeleService, an exclusive BMW feature that allows your car to communicate its service needs directly to your preferred BMW Center. 
Bluetooth® Hands-Free Calling, which links a compatible Bluetooth® enabled mobile phone to your vehicle for hands-free calling. You can make and answer calls, and browse and select phonebook contacts using steering wheel controls, radio keys or voice commands. 
BMW Approved Cold Weather Tires
BMW Approved Cold Weather Tires have been specifically formulated to combat the reduction in traction that occurs when the temperatures drop below 45°F. An optimized balance between physics and chemistry provides the superb grip that's required to keep your BMW performing like the Ultimate Driving Machine® on all adverse road conditions in virtually all weather. 
7-Speed Double Clutch Transmission

In a combination of driving dynamics and efficiency, the 3 Series’ 7-speed gearbox with dual clutch shifts gears without interruption of traction. Manual gearshifts are accessible by using shift paddles on the steering wheel, while an electronic selector-lever with integral display allows you to switch between three operating modes, including SPORT and SPORT+. To maximize the athletic nature of the 335is, activate SPORT drive from the centre console for shorter shift times, and Launch Control for maximum acceleration at a standing start. It’s lowered consumption, lowered emissions, and an increase in torque for the exhilarating performance expected of a BMW.
3.0-liter, TwinPower Turbo, 6-cylinder engine
Generating 320 hp and 332 lb.-ft. of torque, this advanced inline six with TwinPower Turbo virtually eliminates turbo lag thanks to Double-VANOS "steplessly" variable valve timing, high precision, direct fuel injection, and BMW's innovative use of oil and water cooling technology. The result: an exceptionally performing engine with a higher compression ratio, superior emission control, greater fuel efficiency and, most importantly – a thrilling performance. All encased in an aluminum engine block with cast-iron sleeves for durability.
Direct Injection Technology

At the heart of our 300-horsepower, 3.0-liter, inline six turbocharged engine is our direct fuel injection system with advanced piezo injector technology.

Unlike traditional fuel injection, which calls for fuel to be injected before the intake valves, BMW's Direct Fuel Injection feeds fuel directly into each cylinder, increasing fuel economy, power, torque and emissions control.

It also rewards the driver with greater torque for quick response, low speed acceleration and power on demand in all driving conditions.
Active Steering
When BMW first introduced Active Steering to the market in 2003, our drivers weren't the only ones who were impressed. It received the Innovation Award of German Industry, too. The technology allows for a variable steering ratio based on your speed. At low speeds, steering is nimble (10:1) for easy navigation in tight spaces. At high speeds, greater movement of the steering wheel is required to turn the front wheels the same amount (18:1), for increased stability. Most car companies split the difference with a constant 14:1 ratio, but we're not ones to compromise - even with our steering ratio.
Harman Kardon Surround Sound
It's a sound experience as remarkable as the BMW driving experience. Unlike traditional stereo systems, the optional Harman Kardon surround sound audio System uses vehicle-specific equalizing, and a powerful 340W amplifier, to deliver powerful, high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth. The result: a scintillating audio performance that pumps the highest definition soundtrack to the open road. The 11-speaker system also includes four tweeters, five midrange speakers; 2 in the front door panels, 2 under the rear shelf space and 1 in the top of the dashboard, and two bass speakers located under the front seats
HD Radio™

Over 2,000 radio stations throughout the United States are currently broadcasting with advanced HD Radio technology. FM stations now have CD-quality sound and AM stations now have FM-quality sound. What's more, many stations multicast up to 3 different formats over the same frequency.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio

Always appreciative of unconventional thinking, we thought satellite radio was a natural fit with BMW. Add SIRIUS Satellite Radio with a one-year subscription as a standalone option. Enjoy over 130 channels of your favorite programming, 24/7, including 100% commercial-free, plus sports, news, talk and entertainment from the best names in the business.

* Requires a monthly subscription service to SIRIUS Satellite Radio. Check with your authorized BMW center for complete information and details.
iPod/iPhone USB Integrated System
When we wanted to connect an MP3 player directly to our vehicle's sound system, we went straight to the experts at Apple. Together, we created the world's first seamless integrated system of iPod and automobile. Just plug your iPod or iPhone into the adapter accessory. Control the volume and your playlists through the multifunction steering wheel, while your iPod or iPhone stays out of view with a constant flow of power. There's also a convenient, standard auxiliary input jack, which allows you to play any MP3 through the audio system.
M Sports Leather Steering Wheel with Paddle Shifter
Take hold of a 3 Series steering wheel and feel the vehicular athleticism shooting from the engine to your fingertips. With the fine leather casing of M Sport design, and the convenience of wheel-mounted paddle shifters, instantly mimic every thrilling twist and turn of the road, in manual, SPORT, and SPORT+ mode.
Power retractable hardtop

Opening in just 22 seconds and closing in 23 seconds, the power retractable hardtop roof gives the Convertible a sleek, aerodynamic silhouette and improves the vehicle's torsional stiffness, making an already solid ride that much better.

The hardtop liner is also designed to insulate the cabin from outside noise, while keeping the interior comfortably warmed or cooled. And when the top is up, the variable partition that separates its storage compartment from the trunk can be moved, creating more usable trunk space.
Onboard Navigation System with Traffic Alerts

With the route taken care of, you can concentrate on more important things - like enjoying every twist and turn along the way. Our optional onboard navigation system, controlled via iDrive, uses GPS satellites, a digital map and, where available, Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) to guide you to your destination. Choose the fastest route, the shortest route or the one that avoids traffic. Where available, traffic information is received by a separate radio tuner and then displayed on the navigation system. You don't have to listen to a specific radio station, or even have the radio on, to receive updates every few minutes. And you can see everything clearly on the large, high-resolution screen.
