Bringing innovation to the successful BMW 3 Series line-up, the 3 Series Gran Turismo is powered by a range of economical petrol and diesel engines, all with TwinPower Turbo technology.
Those petrol engines include the 320i (184hp, 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds), the 328i (245hp, 0.62mph in 6.1 seconds) and the 330i (248hp, 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds). There’s also a 335i (306hp, 0-62mph 5.7 seconds), which was later succeeded by the 340i, which boosted performance to 326hp via the six-cylinder engine. Its 0-62mph acceleration is a rapid 5.1 seconds.
If it’s economy you’re looking for, the 320i might be your pick — it’s capable of returning 45.6mpg.
The diesel engines include the 318d and the 320d, which completes the 0-62 mph sprint in 7.9 seconds and claims fuel economy of 57.6 mpg. At the top of the range for diesels is the 335d with its six-cylinder in-line 3-litre engine. This delivers high performance — 5.4 seconds is its 0-62mph time — and impressive fuel economy with BMW citing 47.1mpg. Higher end models come with 8-speed automatic transmission.
Available in four distinctive trims - SE, Sport, Luxury, and M Sport - the 3 Series Gran Turismo gets state-of-the-art kit as standard. All models feature BMW Business Navigation and ConnectedDrive services, with entry-level models offering 18-inch alloy wheels, dual zone climate control, cruise control, Bluetooth and more.
Upgrade to Sport for sports seats upfront and a sporty steering wheel, as well as sporty embellishments and an instrument cluster with red highlights. If it’s leather upholstery and wood trim that piques your interest then the Luxury model won’t disappoint. And at the top of the line-up with the M Sport trim, you’ll get M Sport wheels, lowered suspension, and aerodynamic tweaks for a more aggressive appearance.
