Over 14 million examples have now found homes around the world, with the 3 Series accounting for At the rear, all cars get new tubular LEDs as standard. The L-shaped light bars feature brake lights which respond faster to your right foot, according to BMW, and two-piece LED indicators that are heavily curved for a more distinctive design. Inside, BMW claims perceived quality and ergonomics are improved, with new high-gloss plastics and chrome materials to tempt customers away from the acclaimed cabin of the C-Class. Sat-nav is now standard across BMW’s entire range, and the 3 Series can be specced with a new Professional nav system that gets faster software, free over-the-air map updates and 4G connectivity. Professional navigation is standard, while four new colours – Smoked Topaz, Azurite Schwarz, Champagne Quartz and Tanzanite Blue – are also available. Buyers of all other models have the option of 16 exterior colours, including four new shades from the standard and ‘BMW Individual’ range. Source: www.autoexpress.co.uk
