The BMW 3 Series leads the charge in the premium executive car class. Its primary appeal is the way it drives but its engines and infotainment system are first-rate too. The firm ride on M Sport models is just about the only thing we can grumble about in this near-flawless executive car.
The entry-level trim comes with 17in alloy wheels, LED headlights, heated front seats, three-zone air conditioning, cruise control and touchscreen infotainment.
The entry-level engine is a 181bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol. Its revvy nature really suits the sporty character of the car, plus it’s the most affordable engine in the line-up.
