BMW presented the modernized form of the seventh generation of the 3 series towards the middle of May this year. The German carmaker is now adding a new batch to the published photos and videos, which we present to you in the gallery and in the article below.
Recall that the Series 3 makeover resulted in slightly wider kidney stones on the front, although they still remained at a fairly acceptable size and did not grow to a gigantic size like some of its siblings. The LED headlights supplied as standard have a simpler shape and modified graphics. Work was also carried out on the bumpers and the exhaust tips also received minor changes.
The main innovation in the interior is the standard curved display in front of the driver, which consists of two high-resolution screens. The latest generation of the BMW iDrive 8 operating system is installed and there is also an integrated eSIM. Following the new displays, the air vents have been adjusted and a separate row of buttons used to control the ventilation has disappeared from the dashboard.
The restyling has also brought more comfort and safety features, while the BMW also promises autonomous driving capabilities at level 2. The engine range is traditionally extensive and all powertrains come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission and paddles under the steering wheel. Those interested can choose between petrol and diesel engines, among which there are also partially electrified systems in the form of a mild hybrid and a plug-in hybrid. The power spectrum ranges from 90 to 275 kW.
Production of the modernized BMW 3 Series began in July this year, with both sedan and station wagon bodies. In addition, most engines are available with rear or all-wheel drive. Prices on the Czech market start from 1,028,300 CZK, for which you get a 318i sedan with 115 kW and rear-wheel drive. The 318i Touring estate costs CZK 45,500 more.
