New BMW 3-Series – full details on the sports saloon to beat - Evo
Love it or loathe it, the BMW 3-Series is still the compact executive saloon to beat. The latest model is now on sale, and features a series of small revisions over the previous car to ensure it keeps pace with rivals. Revised headlights define the front end, with fully-LED headlights available as an option. They’re further apart than before, visually widening the front end, and cars with standard headlights now get LED daytime running lights strips for further visual definition. There are broader side intakes at the front, while BMW’s active cruise control radar sensor is now better integrated into the lower air intake. 320i and 320d models and above get dual 70mm tailpipes to one side, and models below this get a single 75mm tailpipe. Sport and Luxury lines divide the range down the middle, while M Sport – with standard leather, an styling kit, sport suspension and sports seats – takes the car another step towards full BMW Motorsport products, at least visually. There’s also the latest version of BMW’s Professional Navigation system, and two new colour shades – Smoked Topaz metallic and Champagne Quartz metallic – have joined the exterior finish list.
