The dimensions, 4.71 meters in length are not really compact, do not change anything. There have been retouches on the body, all 3-series now have at least 17-inch light-alloy wheels, and the “powerfully designed BMW kidney grille with new double rods” should not be ignored. The interior is experiencing a “fundamental further development of the brand-typical driver orientation”. This is ensured by the curved screen known from other models with a 12.3-inch dashboard area in front of the steering wheel and the almost 15-inch “Control Display” for navigation and infotainment. Incidentally, the basic equipment is expanded to include a three-zone automatic climate control, the in-house navigation system and a parking aid.
