The 3 Series is updating

40





Last month BMW should have introduced a package of new model and engine revisions across the range. In particular, the changes to the 3 Series Saloon range will significantly broaden BMW’s market coverage in the UK, extending its lead in fuel-saving, emissions-reducing measures while adding to customer choice and personalisation options.4

by Julian Branning

41





The 2013 BMW 3 Series Saloon

With the arrival of hybrid, four-wheel-drive and M Sport variants of the 3 Series Saloon, BMW offers its most comprehensive line-up ever of the model that is the heart of the brand. The 320i xDrive, ActiveHybrid 3 and M Sport versions started production in July, along with the 330d, followed in November by the 316i and 320i EfficientDynamics. The ActiveHybrid 3 is unique in the compact premium saloon class. Powered by the BMW TwinPower Turbo 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine, in tandem with a 40kW (55hp) electric motor, it develops a combined 340hp and 450Nm of torque, to deliver exceptional performance, reaching 62mph from zero in just 5.3 seconds. At speeds of up to 37mph, it can travel up to 2.4 miles solely on electric power supplied by its high-performance lithium-ion battery. With a combined fuel consumption of 47.9mpg and CO2 emissions of 139g/km, it attracts only an 18 per cent benefit-in-kind company car taxation rate. Just as practical as it is economical, the ActiveHybrid 3 retains 390-litres of useable boot space. The BMW ActiveHybrid 3

FEATURE

is priced from £40,225 OTR and is available in SE, Modern, Luxury and M Sport specification. The xDrive brings the all-year-round stability and safety of four-wheel-drive to the 3 Series. Available initially on the 320i and powered by the 184hp TwinPower Turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, it costs from £27,400 OTR for a BMW 320i SE. With the six-speed manual gearbox, the 320i xDrive accelerates from zero to 62mph in 7.4 seconds and has fuel consumption and CO2 figures of 41.5mpg and 159g/km. The optional eight-speed automatic transmission improves economy and emissions to 43.5mpg and 152g/km, while adding only a tenth of a second to the zero to 62mph time. The eagerly anticipated M Sport specification is now available across all variants of the BMW 3 Series Saloon, for £3,000 over the cost of the SE model. The M Sport trim builds on the striking styling of the new 3 Series and its agile and dynamic character, through a combination of unique interior and exterior design changes and chassis upgrades. Standard features include 18-inch M Star-spoke alloy wheels, M Sport suspension and M aerodynamic body styling, with

42





High-gloss Shadowline exterior trim. Dakota leather upholstery is standard, alongside a unique M Sport multi-function leather steering wheel, Anthracite headlining, M Sport seats and M designation door sill finishers. A Sport+ function is also added to the Drive Performance Control switch. Aluminium Hexagon interior trim, with an Estoril Blue finisher is standard, but a high-gloss Black finisher is available as a no-cost option, as is a Brushed Aluminium interior trim.

The expansion of the 3 Series range will gather more momentum in November, with the arrival of the 316i Saloon and 320i EfficientDynamics Saloon. The 316i will be available from £22,850 OTR . The same is true of the 320i EfficientDynamics, which will be available as a stand-alone model, based on the SE trim level, priced at £25,730 OTR. Exact data and specific details for these two expansions will be available from BMW closer to the time. n

Beeping, Flashing Tent Finder - £19.95This ingenious device makes tent location in packed camp-sites far more elegant than the usual trial-and-error affair. Simply hook onto the inside of your tent, and use the remote to activate beeps and flashes when lost at ungodly hours of the morning.

Luxury Alpaca Country Socks - £34.95Pack our luxury alpaca socks and your feet (and fellow campers) will thank you for it. The ultimate in cosy, practical socks, alpaca’s anti-bacterial properties mean they can live happily stuffed in wellies without getting whiffy.

shoulder and you’ll have the perfect place to perch for a spot of sunbathing.

Salut! Engraved Hip Flask £24.95Sneak your favourite festival tipple past pesky officials in our jolly engraved hip flask. Fits snugly in a pocket and, in stainless steel, it’ll take a bit of inevitable knocking around.

Single Striped Lawn Lounger £69.95Roll out our padded lawn lounger and your night’s sleep will feel more 5 star than under the stars. With handy carry-handle, it’ll be no hassle carrying it to and from the camp-site.

Ila DUSK Personal Alarm £19.50This nifty alarm combines safety and style. Dangled prettily from a handbag, keyring or belt, it’ll be easy and quick to access if needed. When activated, it emits a piercing female scream to alert help and scare off the attacker, meaning you’re free to enjoy the music without worrying about your safety. n
