BMW 3-Series improved for 2010
BMW 3-Series improved for 2010-November 2024
2023-12-14 EST 02:30:54

Driving pleasure in the BMW 3-Series is reaching new heights yet again in the 2010 model year. Carefully conceived modifications in design, a thoroughly updated and extended range of engines, as well as innovative model features give both the new BMW 3-Series Coupé and the new BMW 3-Series Convertible even greater appeal and style. And at the same time the Saloon and Touring now also come with new power units offering even greater qualities than before.

Benefiting from all these innovations in the powertrain, the BMW 3-Series is able to further strengthen its status as an outstandingly dynamic and exceptionally efficient range of models in the mid-market segment.

Sporty and elegant design for new BMW 3-Series

New design features at the front, side and rear precisely integrated into the car give even greater emphasis to the sporting and elegant character of the BMW 3-Series Coupé and the BMW 3-Series Convertible. At the same time the modifications in design make the silhouette of both models even sleeker and more dynamic as a sign of superior performance.

New diversity in the BMW 3-Series engine range

Entering the 2010 model year, all engines in the BMW 3-Series range fulfill the EU5 emission standard. At the same time the range of engines is being expanded with new entry-level variants for the Coupé and Convertible, as well as a new entry-level diesel for the BMW 3-Series Touring.

The market launch of the new BMW 3-Series Coupé and Convertible also marks the introduction of the BMW 318i powered by a straight-four 2.0-litre 105 kWpetrol engine. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel in the new BMW 316d Touring delivers maximum output of 85 kW.

The top-of-the-range BMW 335i available on all body variants of the BMW 3-Series now comes with a 3.0-litre straight-six featuring BMW TwinPower Turbo Technology, High Precision Injection and VALVETRONIC valve management combining supreme output of 225 kW with fuel economy and CO2 management once again enhanced by a significant margin.
