The rear seat cushioning has been further improved in the 3 Series Gran Limousine which adds to the comfort level on offer. The cabin also boasts of bespoke ‘Vernasca’ leather upholstery, panoramic glass sunroof, ambient lights, BMW Live Cockpit Professional and wireless charging.
Under the hood is a 2.0-litre turbo petrol and a 2.0-litre turbo diesel engine options. The petrol unit offers 258 PS of max power and 400 Nm of torque while the figures are at 190 PS and 400 Nm for the diesel unit. And while the car weighs around 250 kilos more than a standard 3 Series, it manages to hit 100 kmph in 7.6 seconds.
Transmission duties are handled by an eight-speed auto gearbox and there are three drive modes to choose from - Eco, City and Sport.
