Lincoln Town Car vs. BMW 328 Review

Performance
With its very low horsepower-to-weight ratio, the BMW will knock you back into your seat when you step on the gas.

Handling
The Town Car and the BMW 3 Series have roughly similar tires. With its tighter turning radius, the BMW is quite certainly nimbler than the Town Car, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.

Drivetrain
The Lincoln Town Car has a bigger engine than the BMW 3 Series. Remember that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder. The Town Car packs quite a wallop compared to the BMW 3 Series as far as torque, which is the force that lets you accelerate quickly. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the Lincoln is significantly more powerful than the 3 Series.

Utility
Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Lincoln Town Car over the BMW 3 Series.

Convenience
You doubtless won't have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the BMW than with the Lincoln Town Car, because both offer comparable mileage ranges.

Comfort
Taller drivers will markedly enjoy the extra head room in the Town Car's front cabin compared to the BMW 3 Series. The ampler interior dimensions of the Lincoln Town Car make it substantially roomier for your passengers than the 3 Series.

Dimensions
The Lincoln Town Car is significantly more ponderous than the BMW 3 Series. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Town Car than the BMW 3 Series because of its bigger tank. The BMW 3 Series fits in smaller parking spaces than the Lincoln Town Car. The Lincoln's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; however, the BMW 3 Series may give a sprier feel in daily traffic.

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The BMW 3 Series is markedly cheaper to get to the dealership than the Lincoln Town Car. Regarding fuel economy, the BMW 3 Series is a little better than the Lincoln Town Car, but not by much. The BMW 3 Series won't save you much money at the pump compared to the Lincoln Town Car. The BMW is substantially less expensive than the Lincoln Town Car regarding MSRP. With respect to purchase price, the Lincoln Town Car costs significantly more than the BMW 3 Series.

Overview
The BMW 3 Series and the Lincoln have the same basic after-sale protection.
