While BMW launches yet another crossover later this year with the X1, those who don't want to deal with the reduced size and increased height should look to the old standard: the 3 Series. While xDrive all-wheel drive is available on most engines for the 3 Series, only the Touring offers anywhere near the usability of their SUV siblings. The 328xi Touring offers the smooth 230-hp 3.0-litre straight-six engine with a six-speed transmission, and shares the 3 Series' legendary 50:50 weight distribution and agile handling. Starting at $45,600, this Bimmer will never go out of style when the snow flies.
