Editor's View of BMW 3 Series
-
Upside
Shifts focus to the enthusiast driver, powerful petrol packs a punch, improved handling and plush, tech laden interiors.
-
Downside
Ride is on the stiffer side, some silly feature omissions like 360 degree camera and passive keyless entry.
-
Our Verdict
The new 3 Series shifts the focus back towards the enthusiast. The petrol packs a nice punch while the diesel will be the more sensible pick. It's better suited for four adults and now features tech that brings it up to date with the rest of the sedan line up. You will just have to learn to live with the slightly stiff ride.

BMW 3 Series Highlights
The new 2019 BMW 3 Series brings more space and comfort and unlike the outgoing model all this doesn't detract from it's performance. This time around there will be just two engine options, a 2.0-litre petrol in the 330i that makes 258PS and 400Nm and a 2.0-litre diesel 320d that makes the same 190PS and 400Nm as before. Both models send power just to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. At the time of the launch BMW haven't brought either the 320d or the 340i MSport that feature the xDrive 4-wheel drive system. The new G20 model is longer wider and features a longer wheel base while also being 55kgs lighter than before. It features all LED headlights and tail lamps, active kidney front grill, twin exhaust pipes and subtle features like puddle lights. The interiors are a step up both in terms of tech as well as rear seat comfort but strangely for a car in this price range it's missing features like adaptive cruise, 360 degree parking camera and passive keyless entry. Ride and handling is on the stiffer side and will please the enthusiast while 0-100 time of 5.8 seconds (claimed for the 330i) is enough for some serious thrills when roads open up. The 3 Series rivals Audi's A4 and the Mercedes Benz C-Class and prices range from X.xx to x.xx.
3 Series Specifications
Powering the 330i is a 2.0-litre petrol that makes 258PS and 400Nm while the 320d features a 2.0-litre diesel that makes the same 190PS and 400Nm as before. Both models send power just to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission.
3 Series Variants
The 3 Series will feaures just the 330i and the 320d. The 330i will be available in just the M Sport trim while the 320d will be available in Sport and Luxury Line trims.
3 Series Exterior and Interior
The new 'G20' 3 Series is 76mm longer 16mm wider and sits on a 41mm longer wheelbase than before. It's also 55kgs lighter than the outgoing model and features a perfect 50:50 weight distribution. There's LED lighting all around and new headlamp and taillight designs in addition to subtle changes to the front and rear bumpers and the addition of the active kidney grill. All these changes contribute to a low 0.23 drag coefficient.
The new 3 Series now brings the entry level BMW sedan up to the level of it's current sedan line up - the 5 Series and 7 Series. So it also features similar 10.25-inch touch screen and a 12.3-inch TFT drivers info display. Gesture control has also made it's way to the 3 Series but it actually debuts BMW's new Virtual Assistance intelligent voice assistant that responds to 'Hey BMW' and controls entertainment, navigation and vehicle settings.
BMW 3 Series Competitors
Mercedes Benz C-Class: Subtle changes to the interior and exterior of the new C-Class make a big difference to the overall package. It's more fun to drive now and while it's still not the enthusiast pleaser it's a better balance between comfort and fun and make the new C-Class a serios contender in the segment. Enthusiast's can now opt for the C 300d that makes an impressive 245PS and 500Nm.
Audi A4: The A4 was last updated in 2016 making it the oldest in this bunch. It's interiors are still quite impressive and though it isn't packed with as much tech as it's rivals it does features Audi's impressive Virtual Cockpit drivers information display. It's also a very relaxed and comfortable driving experience with great ride over bad roads. It's not going to appeal to any enthusiasts though with the lack lustre 1.4-litre petrol and 2.0-diesel engines the only available options.
