The barely on the road redefined iconic BMW 3 series is creating so much buzz, and of course, we all are excited to know what’s new and why is it boosted as the most high-tech BMW ever. Even we cannot hold our excitement either –
First and foremost, the BMW 3 Series comes with the brand’s new passive lift related dampers as standard, which make it both convenient and adventurous for the driver. M Sport version is all the same except it is 10 millimeters lower and has 18-inch wheels and adaptive dampers (settings like Comfort, Sport, and Automatic are available).
Base variants of the 3 series are embellished with BMW’s Live Cockpit plus Infotainment system with a massive, tech-savvy 9-inch screen on the dashboard. M Sport version has a 10-inch screen. In this infotainment arrangement, Apple CarPlay is accessible but not Android Auto. The dashboard focusses more on the driver and, apparently, is easier to access. What also adds to class factor of this premium ride is the aluminium mesh effect evident on the transmission box and other parts of the interior trim, it ups the styling and exterior looks to match the latest.
The 3 Series has more human voice commands than any other rival – you can ask the car to switch any interior function or program your navigation on the go without any use of hands! BMW has always boosted for technological advancements, yet another technical wonderment of the company has made it possible for the car to be bigger, yet 43 kilos lighter, and it also is 25% more rigid than its predecessors. The underbody of BMW 3 Series is completely sealed, which also adds to improved aerodynamics of the vehicle along with the company’s latest closing grille flaps.
Functionality and equipment of the car are defined by electrically powered rearview mirrors, reverse camera, automatic parking facility, wireless phone charging, free zone air conditioning, acoustic glass, heads up display, electric memory seats, lumbar support, electric sunroof, and a premium class Harman Kardon stereo system. What really catches our tech-hungry eye is gesture control option in the infotainment box in BMW 3 Series. It is unbelievably smart and easy and adds tremendous value to the whole BMW 3 series experience.
The comfort pack offers a heated steering wheel, keyless entry, hand-free boot opening. The 320D 2 Litre Diesel variant in BMW 3 Series offers a six-speed manual gearbox while there is also an option of eight-speed automatic transmission. The 330I 2 Liter Turbo Petrol Engine has a standard automatic transmission gearbox.
BMW 3 Series Price in India is competitively ranged between 41 and 55 lakh, which is pretty much reasonable for a BMW car price and what it offers. The 320D Sports Model is available at Rs. 41.00 lakh Rs. The 320D Luxury Line variant is available at 46.90 lakh, and 330I M Sport is priced at Rs. 47.90 lakh.
