The outstanding performance, the composition of the carrier, handling, cargo volume, design, performance and consumption do not support criticism.
Since 1987 the BMW 3 Series Touring is the sportiest premium family. But now even more convenient with great performance and design study. The transmission system is best the eight-speed automatic transmission, available in Europe for all engines.
When it comes to deciding who invented the sportiest premium family-that is, a comprehensive model and stylish, but unpretentious in their capacity-, BMW is quite clear.
Is that times and tastes are changing and perhaps for that reason the new BMW 3 Series Touring is committed to a more "practical" than all his predecessors. The truth is that it was OK to become the new benchmark in its class. Input, since the introduction of the current generation BMW 3 Series has to familiarize with new sets of figures that have nothing to do with the old and intuitive tradition followed by the Bavarian house.
While agreeing with the last presentation of 3 touring seven years ago under the hood of the 325i was staying even a six-cylinder engine in line with a smooth and wonderful acoustics, the current 328i is committed to reducing engine capacity: 2 liters of 4-cylinder engine capacity enough. Or put another way: 245 hp and less than 7 liters of fuel are almost impossible to achieve.
Performance and design
hence, their services are also impeccable. This engine biturbo 2.0 starts spontaneously and balanced and, if necessary, has no difficulty in pushing up to 250 km / h this family of 1.6 tons. The design of the new BMW 3 Series Touring convinced from the beginning. While doing so can not hide that this is a four cylinder, it is easy to forget its less smooth ride when you consider the excellent power development.
In terms of design and shows the elongated bonnet saloon, which is made possible by a longitudinally mounted engine and rear drive. The roof line drops not so pronounced as to limit freedom of movement at the height of the head and the back shows clear references to the already convincing 5 Series Touring.
Inside
the interior and especially the board completely convinced. The center console is again facing the driver as is usual with BMW. This usually is topped by a separate screen to control the browser, radio, media player, board information, as well as Twitter, Facebook and Internet radio latter also through the iPhone application.
The center console is again facing the driver as is usual with BMW. The driving position is no problem thanks to the wide ranges of adjustment both the seat and the steering wheel. And passengers on the back can not complain, since it will now have 17 mm more space to the knees, than before.
After folding rear bench in the ratio 40:20:40 hides a trunk with 500 liters of load capacity, which is accessed through a pretty good load level relatively low.
Optionally, the tailgate can be opened easily with a simple movement of the foot, a provision that after the introduction of the current Audi A6 Avant has become an indispensable component of the list of extra high-end family.
Quality materials and interior finishes are of very good quality and only occasional minor detail is obvious in the negative. Thus, the plastic covers of the holes of the door knobs they look surprisingly cheap and the linings of the rings to the boot partition net are too thin and fragile.
Transmission
Compared with the previous model, the engineers were able to reduce their weight by up to 40 kg and this despite having a better safety features and comfort. The transmission system is best the eight-speed automatic transmission is available for all engines. Any combination of engine and gearbox are equipped with automatic stop and start. The transmission system is best the eight-speed automatic transmission is available for all engines and already managed to convince the 1 Series.
This comfortable gearbox costs about 2,000 euros more, but makes additional investment imperceptible change processes, if necessary, in manual mode and full load can be surprisingly athletic. In addition, we also liked the way Eco-Pro.
The characteristic diagram of the accelerator is much less radical, changes to higher gears take place before, above the 2,000 laps, and the kick-down form occurs later than in other modes.
Fascinating
Regardless of whether the driver chooses a style of comfortable or sports gear, undercarriage convinces at both ends. With the rear-wheel drive, its responsive steering and smooth curves drawn highly accurate and free of any change of direction caused by excessive torque on the driveshaft. Even at high speed cornering or sudden load changes the driver remains master of the situation and the agile steering precision
BMW 3 Series Touring love again and again.
