This combination makes it a successor and it improves the ratings for BMW. With all the new additions, the car can no longer be put in the category of under-equipped vehicles. The car is less sporty and more comfort oriented. BMW has considered the both aspects this time for an improved version making the car exquisite and composed.
The engine is four cylinder with 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine. It generates a power of 135kW and 270 NM of torque and it is a rear wheel drive. The engine is good and generates a very good power. In the 3 series group, this car is sweet to drive not only on smooth straight roads but on tricky mountain also bends. The eight-speed automatic gearbox is very flawless and the machine runs very smoothly on the road. On the sporty side of this car, it runs smoothly even in the harsh mode and the comfort will not be compromised by the suspension.
