BMW 3 Series

If you hire a BMW 3 Series, you will be driving the latest generation of one the most acclaimed compact executive car ranges. The 3 Series originally made its name by being great to drive and the range has grown and improved constantly over the last 40 years.

The new version is better than ever. It blends a prestigious badge with great driving dynamics and a feel of inherent quality throughout the vehicle.

There is a wide range of petrol, diesel or hybrid engines and rear-wheel drive or four-wheel-drive. The 2.0-liter turbodiesel, badged as the 320d, provides an unmatched blend of fuel economy and performance, while retaining features like a premium cabin environment and build quality. Expect a long list of standard equipment, including GPS, digital radio and ESP skid protection system.

The highlight for most drivers, however, is the simple pleasure of driving the car. The 3 Series has an unsurpassed steering ‘feel’ and very responsive controls. Combine those with agile and predictable handling and the car has the ingredients to bring a smile to most drivers’ faces.

The 320d is available as a saloon, estate (called a Touring) or fastback GT.
