2015 BMW 3 Series enhanced with more features

BMW has enhanced the company’s best-selling 3 Series range for 2015 with significant new features for all models.

All 2015 3 Series get BMW’s ConnectedDrive, reversing camera with surround view and a Head-Up Display as standard, along with Lane Change warning, and front and rear parking sensors. The entire range, bar the entry-level 316i, is also equipped with Adaptive M Suspension.

BMW has also adjusted the pricing on the range due to specification changes, with price increase of up to $1,000 on the 3 Series Sedan, and up to $3,100 on Touring models.

However, BMW has cut up to $3,000 off the slow-selling 3 Series Gran Turismo.

Each updated BMW 3 Series Sedan, Touring and GT can be personalised with Sport and Luxury character lines – standard options on the 316i Sedan, 318d Touring, 320i and 328i Sedan, Touring and GT, and 320d Sedan and GT. The choice of the M Sport package or Luxury line is available at no cost on the 335i and ActiveHybrid 3 Sedan.

BMW Group Australia Head of Product and Market Planning Shawn Ticehurst hailed the BMW 3 Series update as a significant boost for the range ahead of a landmark year for the storied model.

“Over the last 40 years, the BMW 3 Series has established itself as the most iconic model in our history,” Ticehurst said.

“With its progenitors establishing the blueprint for dynamic driving in the mid-sized premium segment, the 3 Series has a very proud heritage and we have built on that.”

Ticehurst added: “This enhanced BMW 3 Series line-up now stands as the most comprehensive update we’ve released on any range in recent times, with fresh inclusions as standard across a host of areas, including safety and technological innovations.

“This exceptional level of substance and value affirms the BMW 3 Series as a compelling proposition in anyone’s language.”
