The 2012 BMW 3 Series has been captured on camera as it was driven on public roads during its advertisement filming. The ad shooting was set in Spain while an eagle eyed BMW fan snapped it, from a height, captured the uncamouflaged vehicle.
The design ideology is clearly copied from the 5 Series. If not for some character lines, the new BMW 3 Series (codename – F30) will be termed as a minimized 5 Series.
The ad film car has features like corona rings with full LED treatment. The current 3 Series lacks the dramatic styling or the panache of the replacement you see here. This is a step forward for BMW.
Until the all-new C-Class and the next generation A4 arrive in the market a few years down the line, the BMW 3 Series will have the freshest interior and exterior. We believe this will be the biggest selling point.
BMW also plans to improve rear seat comfort by lengthening the wheelbase and providing better seats. The 3 Series is not your car for 8 hour journeys but the improvement is necessary if the car wants to make inroads in countries like India where back seat travel is frequent.
Will BMW India bring in the 3 Series long wheelbase edition? That will make the ultimate corporate edition model for tourism companies and hotels.
The new 3 Series has generation firsts too. It will feature indicators on the outside mirrors.
Plenty of information will come our way in the following weeks, so stay tuned to IndianAutosBlog.com!
