Driving should not be a contact sport. The many active safety features of Driver Assistance Plus help make you aware of pedestrians and other vehicles around you, while keeping you apprised of the local speed limit.
A suspension system featuring optimized front strut towers, rear damping technology, and an increased number of suspension anchor points gives the 3 Series responsiveness and control. The open road has finally met its match.
BMW's mighty inline 4-cylinder TwinPower Turbo. Displacing just 2.0 liters, this 248-hp marvel generates 258 lb-ft of torque at just 1450 rpm, for potent thrust that kicks in right from the start and continues all the way up to 4800 rpm. Lightweight and smooth-running, it incorporates BMW's award-winning High Precision Direct Injection, Valvetronic and Double-VANOS technologies.
Make every drive more engaging and pleasurable. An enhanced 8-speed STEPTRONIC sport automatic transmission with paddle shifters is now standard, putting you in complete control. And for traditionalists, the 340i is available with 6-speed manual transmission with rev-matching feature that automatically blips the throttle for smoother downshifts.
It's a sound experience as remarkable as the BMW driving experience. Unlike traditional stereo systems, the optional Harman Kardon® Surround Sound System uses vehicle-specific equalizing, and a powerful 600W amplifier, to deliver powerful, high-current, ultrawide-bandwidth. The result: a scintillating audio performance that pumps the highest definition soundtrack to the open road. The 16-speaker system also includes six tweeters, six mid-range speakers, two bass speakers located under the front seats, one mid-range speaker and one tweeter in the instrument panel.
The Technology Package keeps you connected with seamless access to the world around you. Head-Up Display projects your speed, navigation, and more — while BMW ConnectedDrive and BMW Navigation provide Advanced Real Time Traffic Information and BMW Online, right in your line of sight.
The 3 Series Sports Wagon's confident design is beyond eye-catching. But its wider rear appearance and aggressive stance don't just provide a high-performance look - they deliver energetic handling that will raise hairs around every corner.
The 3 Series Sports Wagon clocks an incredible 53 cubic feet of storage space. Intuitively placed lashing eyes, tie-downs, mesh storage pouches, and a divided trunk compartment make this one of the most cargo-friendly in the lineup.
The 3 Series includes upgraded Electric Sport Steering, for an even more dynamic and responsive driving experience. Available with the Track Handling Package, Variable Sport Steering adjusts continuously based on steering angle to offer more comfort during tight maneuvers (such as parking). Both are paired with Dynamic Stability Control, the nucleus of the improved chassis, to provide more agility on winding roads and tough surfaces, and more stability at higher speeds.
BMW TeleService keeps you in the driver's seat. A group of sensors transmit your vehicle's maintenance status directly to your BMW center, so they can have the parts you need ready—right when you need them.
Surround View gives you an all-around panoramic view of your surroundings on your Control Display, making it easier to see approaching traffic. Along with the top view camera, the road is also monitored by cameras in the side-view mirrors and the front bumper.
The Luxury Package makes your 3 Series even more sophisticated. Choose from a range of supple leathers that feature exclusive stitching, and sleek chrome accents that accentuate your exterior just the way you want them to.
