There aren’t many compact luxury sedans that have enjoyed the attention and due fanfare the BMW 3 Series has enjoyed till now. At one point, not too long ago, it was an unrivalled monopolist in the segment because of its form and its BMW lineage. This 4-door sedan stands proudly on the company’s pedestal as one of the bestsellers, even when pitted against its illustrious elder siblings. In some countries, it has even trumped the sales numbers of non-luxury sedans that operate in a similar size configuration.
The compactness of the 3 Series makes it endearing for discerning Indian motorists who keep their automotive preferences well within the congested confines of city spaces.
In its 2020 variant, the BMW 3 Series presents the seventh generation of the automobile with significant improvements on its past specifications, while still retaining the recognisable 3 Series flavour in every inch.
EXTERIOR
FOR a premium midsize sedan, the BMW 3 Series has nearly always ticked the right boxes for decades. While the company hasn’t thrown in radical editions to the previous design, there is a visible sharpness in the way they treat their aesthetics. The contoured surfaces add a distinctive character to the car’s exterior and this is accented effortlessly with deliberate lines.
At the front, the hallmark kidney grille still separates the car from the clutter of sedans out there. The full LED, adaptive headlamps are available in the standard edition and linked to the headlights. This feature could well be the most defining difference when compared to earlier models in the same line. The bonnet is visibly more rounded than we’ve come to expect in the 3 Series. A significant development is that the car is now 7cm longer than its predecessor, with more height and width thrown into the equation.
