People are more interested in the much-anticipated M3 Touring than the normal 3-series estate model. One of Europe’s most popular family car models today is a more compact version. It is the 320d, this time in M Sport with Brooklyn Grey paint. BMW’s long-roof model shows off its new bumpers. It looks similar to those on the facelifted models of the BMW X3/X4. While not as desirable as an M3 Touring, the red M-brand brake callipers give it a sportier feel.
The 8 operating system dashboard is a clear standout regarding interior design changes. Headlined with a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster integrated into the same sleek, it comes with a curved glass housing as the larger 14.9-inch touchscreen. They simplify the centre console by combining the climate controls with the display.
The original gear lever has been replaced by a considerably smaller rocker switch to reduce the amount of clutter in the interior. Because of this, the iDrive knob remains in place for additional simplicity. Interiors of the new 2 Series Active Tourer minivan and X1 crossover aren’t up to par, unfortunately. The German luxury manufacturer has committed to maintaining the rotary knob in the future, but not on every model.
The current 320d Touring is powered by the well-known B47 engine, but the redesigned model is powered by 48V mild hybrid tech. There is a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine with 190 horsepower and 400 nm torque. To put it another way, that’s good enough for a zero to 100 km/h sprint in 7.2 seconds and a top speed of 229 km/h. While the G20/3 Series may have an extremely long life cycle (manufacturing will last until 2027), there will be new advancements in 2024 for the G20/3 Series (you may have heard about this already).
