For 2005, the 3-Series is available in 10 models - 325 RWD and AWD sport wagons and sedans, 330 rear and AWD sedans, and 325 and 330 coupe and convertibles. New for this year, BMW tries to increase the value proposition on their line-up by making equipment changes. All BMWs come equipped with fog lights, and all 3-Series coupes, sedans and sport wagons feature a power moonroof as standard. Additionally, the 325 convertibles now come with the same power top as the 330Ci, while the 330Ci has added a number of features from the former Premium Package as standard equipment. Sirius satellite radio is available on every BMW model, while automatic climate control is also standard across the line.
