The BMW 3 Series Sedan with Sport Line.




The new BMW 3 Series Sedan with Sport Line promises unbridled dynamics and sets clear visual accents. Its striking design features in high-gloss black reinforce its sporting appearance.

Eight boldly designed kidney grille slats in high-gloss black produce an especially athletic effect for the front end. Embedded in a chromium-coloured frame, the BMW kidney grille appears even larger. In the front apron, black air inlets with aluminium-coloured horizontal bars emulate the dynamic shape of the headlights and otwardly emphasise the muscular wheel housings.


This is where, depending on the model, 17-inch or 18-inch light-alloy wheels in a double-spoke design create the sporting impression – while retaining the visual lightness. The 18-inch light-alloy wheels are designed exclusively with a bicolour appearance.
The design of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan with Sport Line conveys athleticism from every perspective. Viewed from the side, wing mirrors and window surrounds optionally available in high-gloss black further emphasise the sporting appearance. Another trim strip in high-gloss black on the lower part of the tail end underlines the visual breadth. The exhaust pipe finishers are designed in black chrome.
On the inside, contrasts between black and red express the typical BMW athleticism: red contrast rings on the round gauges of the instrument panel, including sporting chrono scaling, red contrasting stitching on the sports steering wheel and a basic decorative trim strip in high-gloss black with coral red accentuated strip.
Available as an alternative is the fine-grain brushed aluminium decorative trim strip and matt coral red or high-gloss black accentuated trim. The sports seats fitted as standard are available in two cloth and three leather versions, four different colours and corresponding contrasting stitch colours with a sporting stitch pattern.


As a distinctive feature of the Sport Line, the vehicle key is designed in black with a red decorative strip.


The BMW 3 Series Sedan with Luxury Line.


The new BMW 3 Series Sedan with Luxury Line impresses with its especially classical and elegant design. Discreet and refined design elements made of high-gloss chrome unit exclusivity on the exterior with sporting agility and are characteristic of the individual features of the line.
The BMW kidney grille with eleven chromium-plated slats creates an intricate yet striking impression. Added to this are two slightly offset chromium-plated bars in the air inlets of the front apron, which fit in perfectly with the overall image of the line.

A side view of the special 17-inch or 18-inch light-alloy wheels in the multi-spoke design emphasises the elegance of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan with Luxury Line. The surrounds of the side windows are chrome-plated.

An elegant, high-gloss chromium-plated trim strip runs along the rear apron, adding extra flair to the classical design of the Luxury Line. The exhaust pipe finisher is styled in high-gloss chromium.

A high-quality decorative wooden surface in anthracite with a high-gloss accent trim strip in satin chrome and, alternatively, an elegant root wood surface with artistic inlay sets standards in terms of exclusivity. Three high-quality leather covers with exclusive stitching and one fabric cover in four classically elegant colours with exclusive stitching emphasise the enticing atmosphere of the Luxury Line. This is the only Line to feature a chromium-plated strip surrounding the radio and climate control unit.


The BMW 3 Series Sedan with Modern Line.


Rarely has the future-oriented design of a vehicle line been so visible as in the new BMW 3 Series Sedan with Modern Line. Perfectly harmonising material and surface colours create a sense of timeless modernity and a cultivated atmosphere in the interior. Enjoy a light and enticing feeling of spaciousness.

Eye-catching features in the BMW 3 Series Sedan with Modern Line are the light colouring of the instrument panel and steering wheel. Exclusive leather covers or fabric/leather combinations in oyster or black and, as an option, three decorative surfaces with satin chrome accent trim strips create a world of colours to generate a feeling of well-being – and an extraordinary range for this class. In particular, the Fineline Pure genuine wood design, styled in open-pored wood with three-dimensional surface structures turns each touch into a haptic experience.

On the exterior, the BMW kidney grille with eleven slats in chrome matt sets especially modern accents in the front section. It harmonises exceptionally well with the satin-finish aluminium design features on the front and rear of the Modern Line and the twin bars in the air inlets styled in the same colour. Light-alloy wheels of 17-inch or 18-inch diameter in Turbine styling reinforce the future-oriented concept of this equipment line.

As a distinctive feature of the Modern Line, the vehicle key is designed in the colour oyster – with a matt silver decorative strip.
