3 series starts with class and ends with extreme class. The features that encompass this category start from the kick-off and then extend throughout. Normally the starting models are not installed with such luxury but BMW has done that with 318d.
It is a diesel with the best of an engine with the best refinement and comfort of the cabin. The exterior may be a usual one but the interior has the best of materials, a good list of features and equipment installed and a healthy cargo storage space.
It is very popular among the ones who are looking for good acceleration with fine suspension giving away quick responses and a marvellous on-road performance. BMW 318d is perfect for those who are after a BMW but cannot afford the upper models.
It is perfect for giving a glimpse of how it feels to be in such perfection. People who taste a BMW once cannot change their way until unless there is something more than this one. Let’s see the details to know this great starter.
The engine that is under the body is a 2.0-litre engine with a maximum output of 105 kW and 320Nm. The difference between BMW 320d and BMW 318d is this engine power otherwise everything else is same.
The diesel side is often criticized for its rough nature making noise and not being quite while travelling revving being difficult if further power is needed. But believe it or not, a BMW diesel does not behave and thinks like this. It is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission which is the perfect combination.
In the handling area, the car shows good attributes. The diesel engine makes no difference in the sound cabin and there is no engine or road noise inside. Although it does argue with you when revved hard as being a starter, if you handle it accordingly it will be a good girl.
BMW 318d never leaves you to feel short when overtaking or starting from nil. The refinement side is well in place except for minor loopholes that can be ignored if its position is kept in mind. It is said that few cars can tackle corners as flawlessly as a BMW can and 318d is not an exception.
Many of the products of this brand get good ratings for the safety and security it provides. There are six airbags, stability and traction control, ABS brakes with emergency braking and cornering brake control.
These are some very useful and crucial equipment that forms the core of any safety package. There is also an Active Protection System which is there in case an emergency stop is detected above the speed of 18 km/hr.
It closes the sunroof (in the trims it is fitted) and windows and tightens the grip of front seat belts to save the occupiers from damage. In many aspects, rivals are reaching to give tough competition to the 3 series but still, it leads in one way or another.”
