BMW introduces new entry-level 3 Series
03 April 2006 The 129bhp 2.0-litre petrol 318i costs from £21,645 in ES specification, £1,395 less than the next cheapest 320i ES. The 122bhp 2.0 litre diesel 318d ES is £860 less than the 320d ES at £24,015. The petrol version takes 10.4sec to reach 62mph, has a top speed of 128mph and returns 37.2mph on the combined cycle. Emissions of 182g/km earn the car a place in the 23 per cent company car tax band. The diesel takes 10.9sec to reach 62mph and has a top speed of 127mph. Combined fuel economy is 48.7mpg, and low emissions of 155g/km give it a 21 per cent tax banding. ES trim is our pick of the 3-Series trims, with side and curtain airbags, air conditioning, alloy wheels, electric windows and CD player. SE versions are available for an extra £1,030 and add cruise control, climate control, parking sensors and steering wheel-mounted stereo controls. M Sport models cost another £2,290 and bring styling tweaks, sports suspension, parking sensors, automatic headlights and larger 18-inch alloys. |
