2023 BUYER'S GUIDE
2023 MOTORTREND NEW CAR BUYER'S GUIDE - PART 2

3 SERIES For 2023, the 3 Series receives a sporty makeover, highlighted by new exterior styling and some interior feature enhancements. The overall look is cleaner, with a smoother front fascia and slimmer, tidier headlamps, enhanced by the now-standard Shadowline dark trim. Those who prefer brightwork can option the previously standard Satin aluminum exterior trim at no cost. New 18-inch wheel designs are standard on the 330i, 330e, and M340i models.

Inside, all 2023 3 Series variants gain BMW’s Curved Display running Operating System 8. Additionally, slimmer vents and a new gear selector further freshen up the interior. Voice commands can now prompt the car to do some interesting things, like operate the climate control and open or close the windows and sunroof.

The mild hybrid M340i distinguishes itself from the rest of the range with more than just its performance-oriented hybrid system. It not only gets a new look (including larger air intakes, a mesh grille, trapezoidal exhaust tips, and a body-colored rear spoiler) but also adds new heritage BMW Motorsport roundels in tribute to the legendary 3.0 CSL, to celebrate BMW M’s 50th anniversary. The 3 Series’ powertrains carry over unchanged.

7 SERIES BMW’s flagship has been and will continue to be the 7 Series— even as SUV models like the iX achieve prominence in the lineup. For 2023, the 7 Series is all-new and very distinctive, to be charitable. But it’s the split headlamp arrangement that indicates it’s at the top of the BMW heap, a design detail shared with its SUV counterpart, the X7.

2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty

The heavy-duty truck world moves more slowly than other pickup classes, and progress comes in spurts. Take the Ford F-Series Super Duty, whose recent refresh included softer-edged styling, a new entry-level gas-fed V-8, a new high-output 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8, and myriad small improvements like new bedside steps. Is it still basically the same truck as before? Absolutely, but it’s also a better Super Duty, however incrementally.
