The sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series Sedan, the world’s best-selling premium car, was recently launched at the BMW showroom, Muscats Motors in Gżira. Guests had the chance to get an exclusive first look and experience the new BMW which sets new benchmarks in terms of sporting prowess, elegance and comfort.

The new 3 Series’ powerful styling represents a fresh interpretation and conscientious development of traditional BMW design cues. The new BMW face, with flat headlights reaching along as far as the BMW kidney grille, emphasises the elegantly dynamic design of the new BMW 3 Series.

The sixth generation of the 3 Series has grown in size compared to its predecessor. Inside the noticeable increase in space benefits the rear passengers above all and the BMW 3 Series range is now also available in a trio of trim and equipment variants – the Sport Line, Luxury Line and Modern Line.

The new sports sedan comes as standard with a cutting-edge six-speed manual gearbox. An eight-speed automatic, which supports the Auto Start-Stop function, can be specified as an option in conjunction with all the petrol and diesel engines.

As components of the BMW Efficient Dynamics technology line-up, the Auto Start-Stop function, Brake Energy Regeneration and Optimum Shift Indicator play their part in reducing fuel consumption.

The new Driving Experience Control switch not only offers Comfort, Sport and Sport + options, but also ECO PRO mode, which gives all the models in the range the potential to further improve these figures.

This switch helps drivers maximise fuel economy through their driving style, thereby enabling them to increase the distance they can travel between visits to the pumps. The same goes for the CO2-minimising BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics Edition, whose peak output of 163 hp contrasts with average fuel consumption in the EU driving cycle of 4.1 l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 109 g/km.

BMW will add further cutting-edge engines to the line-up in 2012, when the BMW Active Hybrid 3 will also celebrate its premiere.
