The 2016 BMW 3-Series recently unveiled is the facelift version of the present BMW 3-Series, the model coming with some interesting new features at the body, inside the cabin as well as a refreshed powertrain under the hood.

First rendered and seen in spy shots, the 2016 BMW 3-Series has now received the first official film, which showcases the model in its plenitude, pointing out the family values that come hand in hand with a wonderful yet powerful model.

Design

Actually, the official film highlights both versions of the 2016 BMW 3-Series, the Sedan and the Touring are coming with some slightly revised front and rear bumpers, the new LED technology, the revised kidney grille, all complemented by the Mediterranean Blue Metallic exterior paintjob.

Interior

Inside, the 2016 BMW 3-Series facelift has also received some tweaks, with the side vent surrounds and doors receiving chrome accents, updated climate control, updated navigation system and Park Assistant system, chrome accents for the central control panel air vents, and a few more.

Powertrain under the hood

On the other hand, the 340i, which is the official replacement of the 335i, has received the 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder turbo unit, producing around 326 horsepower. The 3-Series xDrive has also arrived, and will be fitted on the 320i, 330i, 340i, 318d or the 330d versions as well. These ones have been fitted with the B47 four-cylinder diesel turbo units.

BMW is heavily testing its latest editions on the tracks at Nurburgring, like the recently spied 2016 BMW 3-Series Touring. The spy shots were provided by the same Auto Gespot, which has also informed us about the BMW M2 or the 1-Series Sedan facelift.

The new 2016 BMW 3-Series Touring is actually a facelift of the present model and will come with some body style tweaks as well as improved performance features. The cabin of the model has been also slightly revised, being offered with some new trims and gizmos, like the updated iDrive Touch Controller.

In terms of styling, the 2016 BMW 3-Series has been fitted with the new LED headlights and taillights, revised front and rear bumpers, while the kidney grille has also received some slight changes. In terms of performance, all versions of the 2016 BMW 3-SeriesTouring will benefit the new suspension tuning system, or other optional equipment.

But perhaps the most interesting and important updated carried out on the 2016 BMW 3-Series Touring is the plug-in hybrid versions it will come with, like the 328e or the 330e, powered by a gasoline four-cylinder unit and an electric motor, which generate an overall of 245 horsepower. These particular versions will also come with a fuel-efficiency of just 2.1 liters per every 100 km.

The other versions from the 3-Series Touring facelift will come with the fresh B47 four-cylinder diesel turbo, fitted on the 316d, the 318d or the 320d. On the other side, the B57 six-cylinder diesel will be postponed until the launch of the 7-Series model.
