There was only one possible setting when it came to driving dynamics testing and set-up runs: the legendary Nordschleife at Nürburgring.
Test runs at the "Green Hell" traditionally serve as an endurance test for the drive and suspension technology of newly developed BMW models.
A particularly extensive testing programme was developed for the camouflaged prototypes of the new BMW 3 Sedan.
Concept of the four-door model shows just how much the development process for the new BMW 3 Series Sedan is geared towards enhanced sporty flair.
2019 BMW 3 Series one particularly striking feature is a thoroughly revised 4-cylinder petrol engine.
It is the most powerful 4-cylinder engine ever to be fitted in a BMW series production model. Yet its fuel consumption figures are still some 5 per cent below those of the predecessor engine: one contributing factor here is the further developed 8-speed Steptronic transmission.
What is more, a particulate filter optimises the emissions response of the new engine, enabling it to meet the Euro 6d-TEMP exhaust standard.
