It looks wider, but it isn’t and according to Roadfly there is more candy and redesigned. The ultimate driving machine is the words used, but of course this is an American review and it also mentions (although briefly) the excellent CO2 emissions that allows it to be sold in all 50 states, but to us in the UK means less road tax and less personal tax, should you opt to use for this car as a business expensed company car.
The BMW 3 Series has been criticised as being a bit expensive here in the UK, especially with the competition and lower residual values are brining lease payments down, allowing some to upgrade their vehicles. But as always it is not just the purchase price of the vehicle but the running costs and depreciation that can change a cheap car into an expensive one. Well BMW seem to have thought this through and now have bulk package servicing costs, like what they offered with the Mini when it came out, this is probably more prevalent with the BMW 3 Series, where you do not want 5 series running costs. The excellent diesel fuel economy could mean saving substantial money over the year against other makes and of course BMW’s are excellent at holding their value, making them an ideal car to lease.
