BMW 3 Series
WINNING has become something of a habit for the 3-Series. In the past five years, the desirable compact executive has only surrendered its crown once. It’s not hard to see why the BMW rules the roost in the company car park.
A premium image, first-rate build quality and engaging rear-wheel handling are strong draws, while eco-friendly engineering tweaks seal the deal – the 320d EfficientDynamics emits only 109g/km and returns 68.9mpg. At the other end of the range is the firebreathing 414bhp V8-engined M3. In between these two extremes is a line-up of creamy-smooth straight-six units and frugal four-cylinders. There’s also a wide array of body styles, including saloons, estates, coupés and convertibles.
And whichever 3 Series you choose, you’ll get the same incredible depth of engineering, entertaining driving dynamics and hugely desirable kerbside appeal. It all adds up to a superb package.
