BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine Gets New Top-end Petrol Variant With Partial ADAS Suite

The BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine (GL) has just got a new top-end M Sport Pro variant at Rs 62.6 lakh (ex-showroom). This particular variant is offered with just the turbo-petrol engine and packs stealthier looks and additional features. Here’s a look at where the new variant stands in the lineup:

As seen in the table above, the new top-end petrol variant costs Rs 2 lakh more than the already well-equipped base model.

Exterior Design Changes

The top-end variant of the BMW 3 Series GL now looks more stealthy, courtesy the blacked-out design touches. For starters, the grille is finished in black and the Adaptive LED headlights have a smoked effect that makes it look sporty. No changes have been made to the profile, while the rear gets one small change: a blacked-out diffuser.

Interior Design Changes And Features

Spotting the changes on the inside is an even trickier affair as there is only one update: a blacked-out headliner and plastic trim on the A-, B-, and C-pillars. In the lower variant, this is finished in beige. Apart from that there are no other changes when it comes to design and tan-coloured upholstery.

There is also the presence of a partial ADAS suite, with features such as blind spot assistant, lane change assistant, and parking assistant. To know what the BMW 3 Series GL comes packing with in terms of comfort and convenience features, head to our in-depth first drive review.

No mechanical changes have been made over the base variant. It continues to be powered by a 2-litre turbo-petrol engine belting out 258 PS and 400 Nm, sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission. In max attack, the 3 Series petrol sprints from 0-100 kmph in just 6.2 seconds.

Rivals

Though a minor update, the M Sport Pro bolsters the 3 Series lineup and helps it put up a tougher fight to its rivals: the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4.
