Since the first generation 3-Series was launched in 1975, BMW has sold more that 12 million units worldwide and the 3-Series is considered to be the most important volume-produced model in the BMW group. The sixth generation 3-Series BMW is an exciting addition to the range and consumers can only expect the best from the new BMW 3-Series.
The new BMW 3-Series will come in the form of the 328i and 335i as well as a 320d and 320d EfficientDynamics diesel option. The 3-Series will also be available in three unique offerings namely the ‘Sport Line’, ‘Modern Line’ and ‘Luxury Line’.
The new 3-Series is 93mm larger and 40kg lighter than the previous 3-Series and boasts extra leg and headroom for passengers. Particular attention to detail has been given to the interior making it more luxurious and comfortable when compared to previous models. Fuel efficiency has also improved dramatically and can be attributed to weight reduction and BMW’s EfficientDynamics technology.
The 320d EfficientDynamics diesel variant produces 120 kW and runs at 4.1 litres/100km with a CO2 emissions rating of 109 g/km. The 328i with its twin turbo charged engine produces 180 kW at 5000 rpm with a fuel consumption figure of 6.3 litres/100km and emissions rating of 142g/km. The 328i clocks 0-100km in just 6.3 seconds reaching a top speed of 250 km/h.
It’s not surprising then that the BMW 3-series has been nominated for the World Car of the Year Award to be announced in April 2012.
