This one is all about BMW which makes it a sweet ticket to have the feeling of sitting in a luxurious cabin. The 3 Series is a remarkable addition to BMW since long and is in the race since its inception. Till now its value has not decreased, instead, the sedan has improved significantly making it one of the top-selling mid-sized sedans. Technology is not lacking as it is a trademark of BMW. The engine under the bonnet has also been improved by giving it a 3-cylinder upgrade. Throughout the range what is common is the tag of the car for all. The vehicle successfully keeps happy the driver as well as the passengers, providing them separate traits according to their position. As a driver, you will get the driver fun and as a passenger, your comfort is not a bit disturbed throughout the ride.

The steering balances body weight well giving an exact response at the right time proving the strength of its control. The mode change really adds extra pleasure for the sports side and ease off the ride when any other one is selected. You will feel the change in the cabin environment and on-road behavior of the automobile.
