The changes aren’t huge – there are some aesthetic tweaks and some more modern on-board technology – but it’s still a risk. After all, the 3 Series is competing with some accomplished rivals, including the new Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the ageing but still brilliant Audi A4. And that’s before we consider the Jaguar XE, Volvo S60 and Alfa Romeo Giulia.
So has BMW’s meddling improved the 3 Series, or is it just a case of change for change’s sake?
Those who have seen recent BMW designs may be pleased to know the grille hasn’t grown in terms of area, though.
That said, the 3 Series is quite refined, with the creamy 3.-litre engines creating barely a whisper of noise and limited sound from the wheels and wind. It’s no Rolls-Royce, but it’s up there with the class leaders, nevertheless.
Verdict: BMW 3 Series review
The BMW 3 Series may not have changed that dramatically – the new touchscreen is the only real change of note – but it didn’t need to.
That said, the in-car technology is also a long-standing cornerstone of the BMW executive saloon offering, and the new 3 Series has just upped the ante a little on that front. Ergonomics have taken a small hit as a result, but tech fans will generally be delighted with the upgrade.
