Exterior Beautiful looks. matches the looks of a stallion. I am a big fan of BMW.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very decent interiors. Expected space and comfort for a 3 Series. Car charge plug is under the Drivers hand rest which is bit unfriendly to use.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent.
Ride Quality & Handling Very poor ride quality especially in the back seat. The nature of the 3-series suspension is very hard which makes the ride more un-comfortable especially on Indian road conditions. The vehicle appears to be a bit unstable at high speeds (160+ kmph) because of this stiff suspension. Hence the speed has to be limited. At times its difficult to contol the urge to get out of the car especially in rough riding conditions.
The steering control and its responsiveness is one of the best in the world. I have driven many luxury cars but BMW is the best in this aspect. One would feel that they are turning the wheels with their hands.
Final Words A good entry level luxury car but has been very dissatisfied with the riding comfort.
Areas of improvement I think I am very clear on the improvements required.
Excellent steering control and Road GripVery uncomfortable ride especially in the back seat
