Naturally, we’re most interested in the mechanical changes. (It must be optimal, or BMW wouldn’t have mentioned it.) BMW describes the overall profile as wedge-shaped, which, okay, it might be, but it’s no Lamborghini Gallardo.Īnd in case you were wondering about the optimal angle of a driver-focused interior, it’s seven degrees. Cars with the optional xenon headlights are equipped with LED eyebrows. The single lower intake has been split into two. Its face is pulled tighter than before, with the headlights stretching to meet the trademark kidney grilles. The larger car still looks svelte, however, and wears an evolved version of current 5-series styling. Imagine what they could have done if it stayed the same overall size. Despite the newfound bigness, BMW claims that the sedans will weigh 88 pounds less than similarly equipped last-gen cars.
The growth pays dividends to back-seat passengers legroom increases by 0.7 inch, there’s 0.6-inch more knee room, and a smidge more headroom. How things change.Ĭompared to the E90 3er, the 2012 3-series sedan is about 3.7 inches longer, rides on a 2.0-inch-longer wheelbase, and has wider tracks front (1.5 inches) and rear (1.9). The new 3 sedan is bigger, a little lighter, will have a hybrid variant, and can park itself.
BMW’s sixth-generation 3-series, code-named F30, has been unveiled.
