Styling [edit]

Designed by Christopher Weil under design chief Adrian Van Hooydonk (till March 1, 2009), the new BMW 3 Series has grown in all dimensions compared to its predecessor.^[36][37][38] The styling is similar to previous generations with a sweeping bonnet, short front overhang, and long wheelbase typical of previous generation BMW. The front and back of the BMW 3 Series is now wider (+ 34/77 mm at the front/rear) with a slightly forward-slanting BMW kidney grille. The rectangular headlights extend up to the frame of the kidney grille merging the headlight and grille adding further emphasis to a more broader stance. Exterior mirrors also have integrated turn signal lights. The rear lights return to the traditional BMW L-shaped design positioned at the outer edge of the back end. The interior continues BMW design by angling the cockpit towards the driver by seven degrees. In the driver's area all the lines converge on a single point behind the wheel. Positioned on the horizontally-structured instrument panel is the freestanding iDrive monitor. Large drink holders are now integrated into the centre console in front of the gearshift lever. The BMW 3 Series can also be ordered with three distinct design variants. The Sport Line, Luxury Line, and Modern Line features different exterior and interior design elements for each line, with black trim for the Sport Line, satinated aluminium for the Modern Line and high gloss chrome for the Luxury Line.^[39]

Equipment [edit]

Also for the first time, the 3 Series features five different "lines", or trim levels. Each "line" includes its own unique details:

The Base/SE model offers standard equipment and aluminum interior trim. The keyfob for the car is black with an aluminum accent. This allows the owner to customize his or her own 3 Series without picking a package.

The Modern Line offers wood interior trim, leather seating surfaces, and the car's keyfob has an oyster gray (light beige) with an aluminum accent.

The Luxury Line offers wood interior trim, luxury leather seating surfaces, and the keyfob for the car is black-colored accent.

The Sport Line offers sporty details, sports leather seating surfaces w/ red stitching, and a black keyfob with a red-colored accent.

Finally, the M Sport Line offers M-inspired details, sports leather seating surfaces w/ light blue stitching, and a black keyfob with a light blue-colored accent.

M Sport Package [edit]

Will feature interior and exterior features found on BMW M models. The M package is ordered since May 2012. Exclusively for the M package, the vehicle can be delivered in Estoril blue color. The front and rear apron is quite different from the other models. The technical equipment features a sports suspension with 10mm lowering count (also available separately), and the optional "M-sport brake" with blue calipers.

BMW ConnectedDrive [edit]

The BMW ConnectedDrive is a range of technology to help with comfort, information, entertainment, and safety. Technology such as help with safety and information BMW Parking Assist, Surround View, Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function, and Speed Limit Info with No Passing Info Display. BMW Parking Assist helps driver maneuver into parking spaces automatically through the use of camera and parking sensors. Active Cruise Control with Stop & Go function not only maintains the desired distance to the vehicle in front but can slow the car down to a standstill in heavy traffic. Finally, Speed Limit Info helps alert drivers to current speed limit on the road by continuously scanning road-signs with the integrated camera in the rear-view mirror.^[39]

Other passenger comfort innovation includes Real-Time Traffic Information (RTTI), information and office services, and Google Maps. BMW Connected Drive also utilizes external mobile phones and music players. Internet-based services such as weather, news, calendar entries, and text-based messages can be viewed on the iDrive operating system and read out via text to speech function. BMW Connected app also allows full in-car use of web radio as well as social networks such as Facebook and Twitter. Finally the "My BMW Remote" app allows drivers to open and close the car and control heating from the outside. A number of driver assistance system also adds to the safety of the BMW 3 Series. Systems like full color head-up display, lane change warning system, and lane departure warning including collision warning.^[39]

BMW Efficient Dynamics [edit]

The increased efficiency of the BMW 3 Series is accomplished through the inclusion of auto start-stop, brake energy regeneration, and ECO PRO mode technology. Auto start-stop automatically switches off the engine during short stops at traffic lights or in stationary traffic to not waste fuel. Brake energy regeneration generates power for the vehicle electrical system during braking and overrun. When the engine is under load, the alternator can be disengaged. Finally, ECO PRO mode can modify powertrain management and heating and air conditioning to optimum efficiency, reducing fuel consumption by as much as 20 per cent.^[39] Due to customer demands, the auto start-stop mode can be disabled by the dealership or by pressing a disable button next to the start button.^[48]

E90 comparison [edit]

The new F30 sedan is 93 mm (3.7 in) longer, 6 mm (0.2 in) wider (42 mm (1.7 in) including mirrors) and 8 mm (0.3 in) taller than its predecessor (E90). The wheelbase is longer by 50 mm (2.0 in). Also boot space is bigger by 20 litres (0.71 cu ft). Even though the new 3 Series is bigger and has more standard equipment than its predecessors, it is lighter than the model it replaces. For example, the new 328i has the same weight as the outgoing 325i and the new 335i is 40 kilograms (88 lb) lighter than the outgoing 335i.^[49]

Notable downgrades to the new 3-series from its E90 predecessor include the deletion of LED turn signals in both the headlight and tail light clusters (with the return to traditional bulbs), as well as the replacement of non-intrusive, articulated gas-strut trunk hinges with cheaper, obstructive gooseneck hinges.

Enthusiast magazine reviews were also less than stellar. In their November, 2012, issue, Car and Driver wrote, "We're convinced that the E90 would handily win a comparison test against the F30." [1] In the April, 2012, issue they noted an increase in weight, versus the BMW's suggestion of a loss: "weight gain from our last E90 335i test car is 77 pounds, at least some of which must be from the new optional 19-inch wheels ($900) . . . ." Furthermore, acceleration suffered in comparison to the E90 as well, "A slower 5-to-60 time of 5.9 seconds—we expected mid-fives for that—also indicated that something may have been amiss."

The magazine closed the generally ambivalent article with, "At some point, BMW will have to take a bigger step to move forward or risk falling behind its competitors—but not just yet."[2].

BMW ActiveHybrid 3 is produced at BMW Plant Munich.

Marketing [edit]

As part of the BMW 3 Series Sedan market launch in the US, a series of 6 TV commercials were produced by Kirschenbaum, Bond, Senecal + Partners. Two of the shorts were premiered in ads during Super Bowl XLVI in regions across the U.S.: the first entitled “The Big Grab,” in the New York Tri-State area; and the second, “The Close Call,” in the Southern California-Los Angeles, Atlanta and Houston areas. Beginning in 2012-02-07, select digital shorts began airing online at sites including NBC.com, ABC.com and Hulu. All of the content, including the Super Bowl spots “The Close Call” and “The Big Grab,” where a heated steering wheel saves the day when a group of freezing friends hop into the car, can be viewed online at www.youtube.com/bmwusa.^[53]
