Sports suspension and more signs of distinction for the saloon and touring. New
engines, sequential manual gearbox, wider range of standard equipment.

The comprehensive update of the BMW 3 Series in the 2002 Model Year is
continuing BMW's policy already initiated by the 3 Series compact of
distinguishing even more clearly between the individual body variants, the
saloon and touring receiving a new front end
as a sign of even greater power and presence and thus standing out clearly from
the coupé and convertible.

Featuring numerous improvements for even more sporting pleasure at the wheel,
three new engines and two new models, BMW's best seller is entering the 2002
Model Year with the focus on ongoing success. Further new features are the even
wider range of standard equipment now also including air conditioning and DSC
Dynamic Stability Control.

Introducing these supreme refinements for the extremely successful 3 Series,
BMW is clearly manifesting the Company's role as the benchmark in this class,
again standing out clearly from the competition in terms of agility, dynamic
performance, innovative progress and sheer presence on the road.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
