The new BMW 3 Series

Arriving in Singapore on 15 November 2008, the BMW 3 Series sets out to extend its lead even further. Specific design modifications, a further refined interior design, the new generation of the operating concept BMW iDrive, safety and comfort make the new BMW 3 Series Saloon more attractive than ever before. With rear-wheel drive, harmonious axle load distribution, outstanding steering precision and highly sophisticated chassis technology, the BMW 3 Series sets unsurpassed standards for driving dynamics in its segment.

With striking design accents to the front section, the side perspective and the rear, the dynamic character of the new BMW 3 Series Saloon has been given additional emphasis.

The front view of the new BMW 3 Series is characterised by a clear emphasis of vehicle width. Powerful, taut surfaces and striking character lines dominate the side view of the new BMW 3 Series. Greater emphasis of the vehicle's power and sporty character likewise characterises the rear view of the new BMW 3 Series. The widened track of the new BMW 3 Series especially contributes to its powerful appearance.

The modern, high-quality interior of the BMW 3 Series has been further enhanced by means of specific modifications in the selection of materials and surface design. Here, the modern design concept is also applied, with its convex-concave surfaces, sporty elegance and technology-oriented aesthetic style.

The new generation of the operating system BMW iDrive is available in the new BMW 3 Series for the activation and control of entertainment, information, navigation and telecommunications functions. With the new iDrive generation, BMW extends its lead over comparable systems made by other manufacturers in terms of display quality and intuitive operation.

The new BMW 3 Series has the most sophisticated and superior chassis technology in its segment. At the rear axle there is a five-link construction which is adapted to the needs of the especially high-power and high-torque engines. The front axle of the BMW 3 Series also reflects a unique standard of engineering. The dual-arm tension strut axle with stabiliser is largely made of aluminium.
