3 is still the magic number for BMW
Listen carefully, because the new bits of the 3 Series may not be obvious. This is a mid-life lift rather than a brand-new car, so from the outside there are resculpted bumpers, new lights — including LED daytime running lights and tail lights — plus new exhaust pipes, depending on your engine. Inside, there are new cabin materials and equipment, but under the skin there’s some new engines, plus revised suspension and steering, all designed to keep it on top of the dynamic tree.
