The present BMW 3 series is bigger than it was before but more efficient and power generating. It is hard to resist saying that there is almost nothing in this saloon which can identify it as a starting trim.
There is everything in it ranging from technology to performance and comfort. It is a perfect business class mid-sized car, but with its increased size there is a cut in the weight which makes it a better performer than before.
Taking all this for granted is a mistake as there are very less beginners that got this much and combined with all these is the fuel economy that really matters a lot these days. The 318 gets a diesel engine but the refinement shows itself as the cabin is peaceful with no extra clatter and annoying disturbance.
Interior is also of good quality keeping the class it has to serve. There are plenty of storage choices for the rider as the cup holder in the center console and place for putting your smartphone. There are two choices in the 3 Series; four-door hatchback or a five-door estate and 318d is the four-door patterned.
The machine under the hood that pulls this trim is a 2.0-litre diesel which outputs 150hp to the body. This is a really good figure and this means that the vehicle can take you from 0-60 in just 8.6 secs.
The gearbox is manual with brisk gear shifts without disturbing or delaying the response. Everything turns out smooth under the wheels and what you get is a lavish experience.
There is a Drive Performance Control throughout the 3 Series. It is a switch that can change the mode of driving. There are four modes available; ECO PRO, Comfort, Sport, Sport+.
But Sport+ is present in the sports models or with extra equipment which costs more. But with such a plentiful performance it is not needed mostly until unless you are after more thrill.
Handling is really good and it doesn’t matter if it is in the town or on the motorway. The car feels more comfortable on the motorway. There is no problem in overtaking and a good body control remains intact no matter what the surface is.
Steering is accurate and sleek putting the wheels in just the right position as they should be. But it is only that you cannot feel every detail about the road. The driver has an easy access to the controls with a touch screen system and clear instructions.
There is a very promising list when it comes to the technology side. Even the starting trims have in them the latest set of operations. In 3 Series 318d, there are 17-inch alloy wheels, satellite navigation, front fog lamps, air-conditioning, Bluetooth connectivity, 6.5-inch color screen, USB compatibility and iDrive system.
Then there is a key-less starting, a trip computer, cruise control, hill start assist to keep the tires firm on steep surfaces. All these goodies make BMW 318d a good deal to purchase.
