Coupé Three Series Changes
BMW has announced a raft of improvements and changes to the 3 Series range that offer owners more power and torque with lower fuel consumption and emissions.
The class-leading BMW 3 Series Coupé and Convertible receive design changes and interior enhancements intended to keep both models at the forefront of their respective sectors.
Neither satisfied nor complacent about the accolades heaped on its EfficientDynamics programme in reducing CO2 emissions, the company will also launch the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon – its cleanest 3 Series ever.
All the new engines and models make their debut in the UK market on March 20, 2010 and all conform to EU5 emissions standards.
Tim Abbott, Managing Director of BMW UK, said: "Competition in the car market is hotter than ever today. The BMW 3 Series Coupé and Convertible were already class-leading models, but we have no intention of sitting on our laurels and are offering customers more of what they want – on-road performance and ever more fuel efficiency with lower CO2 emissions combined with a refreshed look inside and out.
"These inspirational models come at the same time as a true CO2 champion in the form of the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Saloon. This is a car which combines true BMW performance with astonishing fuel efficiency."
A highly respectable acceleration time from standstill to 62 mph of 8.0 seconds and combined fuel consumption of 68.9mpg is complemented by CO2 emissions of just 109g/km makes this car a great choice for the business user with its predicted low lifetime running costs.
