BMW 3-series Coupe · photos, packages and modifications

BMW introduced a new 3 series saloon at the start of 2012 however the 3 series coupe was still an old generation based car. Though BMW updated the car in 2010 to facilitate competition with the Audi A5 however the best features of the 3 series coupe include the handling, build quality and sharp looks. The interior is attracting too with a space equaling to the 3 series saloon though the car is basically a strict four seater. There are several engines you can choose and equally wide trims to select from. The top of the range in the model is the ever economical 320d which is powerful too.

The 3 series BMW coupe is a sharp attractor and an uplift in 2010 signified changes in design making it timeless with a bodywork equally stylish and svelte from every angle. The interior too, offer beautiful finishing boasting finest fabric for seat covers and a leather effect black trim on the dashboard.

The steering of the coupe is sharp and provides the full feel thought the ride is firm. It should however be noted here that the closest rival of the BMW 3 series coupe, the Audi A5 and the Mercedes C-class coupe are though newer and better in practicality however none offers the fun to drive experience as this BMW model. Further on the 3 series coupe is equipped with its trademark DSC or traction control system which is indeed effective as it offers the option of of manually switching the system off in case the driver is interested in exploring the limits of handling the car. The petrol engines offer ample power especially the 335i with a 3.0 litre six cylinder turbo charged unit which give extra revs and power however it is the diesel units that provide the most attracting and impressive performances. The show stealer is definitely the 335d which races from 0-60 mph in only 5.9 seconds.

The 3 series by BMW is among the UK's best selling cars but even with the large volume of the models available and seen on the road reliability is seldom complaint about. Some electrical complaints are though common mainly relating to the iDrive system of infotainment though even these are no major issues to worry about. All 3 series get side, rear and front airbags with traction control system coming as a standard fit.

The inner area of the cabin is designed as a low set driving position which allows plenty of adjustment and support along with ample storage bins in the cabin making the 3 series coupe unimaginably practical through providing room equaling the space of a saloon, even after the two seats at the back speculate it as a four seaters strictly. The boot is generous in offering space but loading faces difficulty due to the high loading lip of the car.
