3 Series BMW Craving
Date: 2017-08-17
Driving the new 3 Series BMW brought on an amazing sense of completeness, of familiarity and newness combined. I could have sworn I was being read like a book, this car seemed to know what I wanted next, toggle switches at my fingertips, it was a very fulfilling feeling.
Driving the BMW 320d was comparable to a pair of chamois gloves, tailor made to fit my hands, I was that comfortable. The feedback from the steering wheel could have convinced me that I was in direct touch with the road, and in a way I really was.
The cockpit presented the BMW environment with refreshed styling and everything was extremely simple to use, Blue Tooth interface and iPod connection, even the indicators and dials of the 320d worked with an enthusiasm that was inspiring.
Once I had done admiring the honed body contours of the new 3, I stepped on the accelerator and the new generation BMW TwinPower Turbo diesel engine responded with enthusiasm.
For me it was the 'full-house-spec-level' of the model I drove, it had everything, from the heads up display, which performed beyond my expectations to the Park assist and Lane Departure Warning systems that worked in conjunction with Person, or pedestrian warning and Approach control systems.
I felt really assured behind the wheel and became ever more assertive with my driving style, so much so that I found myself smiling wherever I went.
