The BMW 3-series has been given an update for September in Europe. It has new looks, new interiors, and even a new engine or two.
The revised 330d’s engine is a newly developed all-aluminium unit that uses third generation common-rail diesel injection technology with piezo injectors and a single turbocharger with variable vane geometry. The latest model features two additional raised 'precision lines' on the bonnet. The kidney grille has been re-profiled, while the headlights feature twin corona side lights as standard. The front apron has been reshaped as well. At the side, the valance now features a new crease line for a more sporting look and the wing mirrors have been increased in size for better visibility. The track of the car has been increased by 24mm. The rear light cluster has been changed and is now monochrome in colour with LED technology as standard, while the rear valance and boot lid have been re-styled.
For added convenience and improved functionality, the new iDrive features a new on-screen layout with scroll across display for each chosen function for greater clarity. A ‘back’ button and shortcut keys mean it is even easier to navigate to a required function.
The changes have made the 3-series more desirable than ever – we can’t wait for it to make its way to our shores!
