Starting from a price of Rs 28.9 lakh for the base 320d Diesel model,
the new sixth generation BMW 3 Series has grown in size as compared to
its predecessor and offers all the bells and whistles you could expect
from an entry level luxury car and more
At first glance the new 3 Series indeed adorns a prettier face
featuring flatter headlights, with LED accents above the twin corona
rings stretched all the way to the large kidney grille. It’s a complete
shift in terms of design language from Bangle’s vision for the outgoing
model. Moreover, unlike its current competition the new BMW 3
Series that has now been officially launched in the country is not
merely a facelift but a completely new car and changes, upgrades and
improvements are all across the board.
For starters, the BMW 328i petrol model comes fitted with a 2.0-litre engine that boasts of TwinPower Turbo. It develops 245PS @ 5,000rpm and a peak torque of 350Nm from as low down as 1,250rpm all the way up to 4,800rpm. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission the BMW 328i shoots from standstill to a hundred km/h in just 5.9 seconds, and offers a healthy fuel economy which tip toes around the company claimed 6.4 litres per 100 kilometers.
On the diesel front, the TwinPower Turbo 2.0-litre diesel unit has been further refined in order to offer an even more efficient outcome. It develops 184PS @ 4,000rpm and a very impressive 380Nm of torque between 1,750rpm and 2,750rpm. Also mated to an 8-speed gearbox it can complete a 0-100km/h sprint in a scant 7.5 seconds. With an average fuel consumption of just 4.5 litres for every 100 kilometers driven it’s no surprise that this diesel has such a strong fan following.
Unlike the earlier 3 Series the treatment to the dashboard on the new model is clean and uncluttered., and doesn’t have a double dome on the dash as the second dome which housed the multimedia screen has been replaced by a flat screen fitted on the hood.
