Because it is one model that has sold more than 14 million examples globally, ever since it first appeared in 1975 as a sporty saloon; in a size that can be called modest. For Bavarian car maker, nothing could be more important as one in four BMWs sold globally is a 3-Series and not only that, out of every three 3-series, BMW sells a diesel version.
It is continuing to succeed over its competitors like the Jaguar XE. Thanks to the frugal BMW diesel engines, the economy and performance of these vehicles is absolutely stunning. To tempt the maximum number of potential buyers, it has more than enough versions that are faster and more economical.
If we talk about the UK alone, the buyers of 3-Series have almost 112 different options available to choose from, whether they be modest rear-wheel drive petrol models or the diesel with all-wheel drive, or even a BMW 320d xDrive, they have everything to fit the attitude.
There is a mare possibility that you’d ever see a 3-Series without metallic paint and heated front seats. From the outside you may not feel much of difference but the inside always gives you the feel of change that be the light signs, air intakes or the high gloss black material used for the upholstery.
Well, if you look under the bonnet you will find most of the petrol and diesel engines new and thanks to the dedication and hard work of the engineers at BMW, these engines have gained economy and emissions. Since BMW is famous for its sporty looks and feels, the engineers have worked their way up to keep that feel and thus used five instead of three bolts to hold the body when it comes to the front suspension. Now you get a purer feel and less distortion when you are pressing the accelerator.
The price is set to £35,960 and 187bhp four-cylinder diesel engine with eight-speed automatic gearbox gives the car power that takes it from 0 to 62mph in just 7.2 second until it reaches 143mph top speed. The combined fuel economy is 60.1mpg and CO2 emissions are 123g/km.
