Rooted in history, moving forward in design - the all-new BMW 3 Series receives a fresh and contemporary face that interprets the iconic features of classic BMW design in a new way.

The all-new BMW 3 Series is the first model to feature the striking new design language; with classic BMW double round headlights, now topped off by 'eyebrows', reaching the edge of the kidney grille. The wide stance and striking corona rings in headlights give extra intensity to the classic BMW focused look and a more impressive on-road presence.

But it is the sum of all details - the short overhangs, the long wheelbase, the coupe-like roofline and the distinctive side creases - that creates the exemplary sporting appeal. (Business Wire India/ANI)
