Equipment and practical details
BMW 3-series · Generation 5, E90 · Europe · 12.2004 - 08.2008. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.
- Split backrest 60:40
- Check that the sections fold separately and which passenger seats remain usable when carrying long items.
- Folding rear seats
- This changes the balance between passenger and luggage space. Check whether the folded surface is level and whether long items can pass through.
- MacPherson front suspension
- For a version with MacPherson front suspension, identify parts by body code and specification. The layout name alone does not establish that struts and springs are interchangeable.
- Heated steering wheel
- Check the control and whether the rim heats evenly.
- Seat-position memory
- Check that positions can be stored and recalled, particularly if several drivers will use the car.
