The new BMW 3 Series is revealed to press. Finally, we have a very beautiful new 3 Series. I felt the same like in 1998, when they revealed the E46! This new generation looks amazing, probably the best looking car in its segment. Not only from exterior, but also from interior! Unlike other brands, BMW increased the quality of materials used in interior and created a higher-class atmosphere. If I didn’t believe it, I wouldn’t write it.
The front of the car has common bits from the 8 Series. Unlike previous generation, BMW did not try to create something unusual, they transferred the new design philosophy into new 3 Series. And they did a great job!
Some technical info, this new 3 Series will have Active Protection system. This is not a bullet-proof technology, this technology identifies a possible crash through various sensors. Then, fastens the seat belts, closes windows and sunroof and if necessary applies brake. But I don’t know whether the car will apply full brake power or not. This technology was available in Mercedes under the name of Pre-Safe and BAS Plus. It is good to see it on other brands. If you are looking for x-Drive versions, you need to wait until summer 2012!
And don't worry, there will be a hybrid version as well ;)
