    My Journey with the BMW 3 Series 

    When I first got my hands on the BMW 3 Series, I was surprised. It is a car that promises both luxury and performance and I have to say it does not disappoint. Driving through the bustling streets of India, the 3 Series with its 255 horsepower engine provides a smooth yet exhilarating ride. The fuel efficiency at about 6 to 15 km/l depending on the model and driving conditions, is pretty decent for a luxury car. Inside the plush interiors and advanced tech make every ride comfortable and entertaining.The maintenance cost can also be a bit steep, which is something potential buyers should consider.
