The new BMW 3 Series Touring reveals

It was just lack of time that we started to see the different versions that make up the range of the BMW 3 Series , for the moment we only had information from the sedan variant , but still lacked the coupe version and it descapotada of which I speak The more familiar, known Touring.

The platform is the same and the length is maintained, the changes lie in the lateral line and in the back, yielding a similar change to the 5 Series Touring so that the gain in style, packaging, housing and equipment will be much higher familiar alternative to replacing. Competition is very wide but stresses the Audi A4 Avant , a classic among classics that will be difficult to unseat the number 1.

One detail that caught my attention powerfully, is far reaching the rear windows. You could almost say that attach to the rear window of the boot and the brightness in the interior will be very high, and the feeling of space, something very important in a vehicle like this.

Rumors are that will initially be offered with a diesel variant and two diesel, although we have read other things. To rely on the gasoline 320i, a 2-liter turbocharged with 184 hp that is characterized by reduced consumption and emissions in line with the times.

On the dark side, the diesel, the 316d and 318d will be carrying the lead in the first months of existence. Have powers of 116 and 143 hp, which is fair, but that is enough. Consumption, lower than 5.5 liters in both cases.

Later, and how naturally, come with all wheel drive variants and a much larger mechanical range with the mighty 330d, 330i and above all, the 335d and 335i. Thrusters that make the most watered down version of the 3 Series a real wolf in sheep's clothing.

Judging by the photos, the state of development and testing of the car is very advanced and would not rule out the option of seeing it in a few weeks at the Geneva Motor Show , an event that already is more than loaded.
