The BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series is the founder of the modern sports sedan segment and has been f\u00eated as an icon of this vehicle class for 40 years. Over what is now six model generations, the BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series has set the standard for dynamic excellence, efficiency and design, forging an emotionally rich connection between a sporting driving experience and unbeatable everyday practicality. Around one in every four BMWs sold is a BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series Sedan or BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series Touring, which makes this model series the most successful in the BMW\u00a0brand\u2019s line-up. Sharper design, even more advanced technology and cutting-edge engines ensure the new BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series Sedan and new BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series Touring are a more attractive proposition than ever before. The new BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series\u00a0model range will be available with an extensive spread of engines from launch. Four petrol units and seven diesels are available, developing from 85\u00a0kW\/116\u00a0hp to 240\u00a0kW\/326\u00a0hp (combined fuel consumption: 7.9\u20133.8\u00a0l\/100\u00a0km [35.8 \u2013 74.3 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 185\u201399\u00a0g\/km). They can be linked up with a six-speed manual gearbox and an eight-speed Steptronic transmission (standard on the BMW\u00a0330d, BMW\u00a0335d and BMW\u00a0340i Touring). The new BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series\u00a0is available with classical rear-wheel drive or BMW\u00a0xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive, depending on the model.<\/p>\n

Great exterior presence, sophisticated and high-quality interior<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The design of the new BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series stands out with even greater precision and various detail\u00a0improvements. At the front end, new aprons with revised air intakes accentuate the feeling of width, while the sensor for the optional Active Cruise Control (ACC) is harmoniously integrated into the central air intake. The sculptural rear apron design, including a Line-specific trim element, and standard LED rear lights likewise emphasise the car\u2019s width and thus its sporting appearance. An innovative lighting concept, featuring newly designed headlights and striking LED daytime driving lights, underlines the car\u2019s sporty and powerful visual appeal. Full-LED headlights can now be specified as an option. The interior, meanwhile, makes an even classier\u00a0impression with new materials and additional chrome highlights for the controls, air vents and central control panel. The newly crafted centre console with a sliding cover for the cupholders enables better use of the storage surfaces forward of the gearshift lever and takes the outstanding ergonomics of the BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series to an even higher level. A wide range of personalisation options as far as upholstery and interior trim elements are concerned, as well as new wheels, exterior colours and equipment options, round off the specification choices for the new BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series.<\/p>\n

Setting the benchmark \u2013 even sportier, even more efficient<\/strong><\/h3>\n

All the three-, four- and six-cylinder petrol engines for the BMW 3 Series model range and the four-cylinder diesel units in the BMW\u00a0316d, BMW\u00a0318d and BMW\u00a0320d are now sourced from the newly developed, modular BMW\u00a0EfficientDynamics engine family. Features including revised turbochargers help give the new four-cylinder diesel engines even sharper responses, while the three-cylinder petrol engine is a new addition to both the BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series model range and the segment as a whole. Making its BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series debut is the four-cylinder petrol engine in the BMW\u00a0320i\u00a0Sedan\/BMW\u00a0320i\u00a0Touring (combined fuel consumption: 5.9\u20135.3\/6.3\u20135.5\u00a0l\/100\u00a0km [47.9\u201353.3\/44.8\u201351.4 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 138\u2013124\/147\u2013129\u00a0g\/km)*. Celebrating their world premiere, meanwhile, are the four-cylinder unit in the BMW\u00a0330i Sedan\/BMW\u00a0330i Touring (combined fuel consumption: 6.5\u20135.5\/6.7\u20135.8\u00a0l\/100\u00a0km [43.5\u201351.4\/42.2\u201348.7 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 151\u2013129\/157\u2013135\u00a0g\/km)* as well as the six-cylinder petrol unit in the BMW\u00a0340i\u00a0Sedan\/ BMW\u00a0340i Touring (combined fuel consumption: 7.7\u20136.5\/7.0\u20136.8\u00a0l\/100\u00a0km [36.7\u201343.5\/40.4\u201341.5 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 179\u2013152\/164\u2013158\u00a0g\/km)*. Despite their superior power, further\u00a0improvements have also been made to the efficiency of the engines; fuel consumption and CO2 emissions are down by as much as 11 per cent. The new 320d EfficientDynamics Edition Sedan (combined fuel consumption: 4.3\u20133.8\u00a0l\/100\u00a0km [65.7-74.3 mpg imp]; combined CO2 emissions: 113\u201399\u00a0g\/km)* develops 120\u00a0kW\/163\u00a0hp, yet emits just 99\u00a0g\/km of CO2 when the eight-speed Steptronic transmission and standard tyres are specified. Indeed, the new transmissions also contribute to the increased efficiency of all variants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

On cars specified with the six-speed manual gearbox, the engagement speed control function automatically blips the throttle on downshifts, for example. The eight-speed Steptronic transmission allows multiple sequential downshifts, which has a positive effect on smoothness and acoustics. The coasting function, meanwhile, increases efficiency by another notch. The further developed dampers, stiffer suspension and even more precise steering of the new BMW\u00a03 Series ensure a clear elevation of the new BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series\u2019 dynamic potential, combined with the same\u00a0impressive ride quality as that of its predecessor.<\/p>\n

New Navigation system Professional and LTE mobile technology<\/strong><\/h3>\n

BMW\u00a0plays a leading role in the link-up of driver, vehicle and outside world. Its BMW\u00a0ConnectedDrive range of products and services offers a unique selection of web-based services and innovative driver assistance systems designed to enhance comfort and\u00a0improve safety. For example, the full-colour BMW\u00a0Head-Up Display in the new BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series enables all relevant information to be displayed directly in the driver\u2019s field of vision, leaving the motorist to concentrate fully on the road ahead. The Navigation system Professional\u00a0impresses in city centres, in particular, with quicker start-up, significantly faster route calculation and even more realistic 3D graphics. The navigation maps are automatically updated free of charge for a period of three years. In the owner\u2019s home region, the embedded SIM card allows these updates to take place automatically over the air via the mobile phone network. The new BMW\u00a03\u00a0Series\u00a0is the first model (depending on the equipment specified) in the premium mid-size sports segment to support the fastest current mobile technology standard (LTE). The Parking Assistant now enables automatic parallel parking as well, while Auto PDC also automatically activates the front parking sensors when manoeuvring.<\/p>\n
