The Juicy Bit, The Test Drive Of The NEW BMW 3-Series
First and foremost, you must understand BMW engineering. This German car manufacturer prides itself for its engineering. The engineers know how to put together a drivetrain and this is very important once this 4-cylinder engine is ignited. It’s all about the engine, and the 1998cc forced inducted engine is a fun loving machine. Producing 258 horses and 400 Nm of torque, this engine never runs out of steam as you push and push it within the limits of your driving ability (talking about average drivers and not track day specialists). What’s more, the fact that the maximum torque is delivered at 4400rpm gives the engine a lot or tractability.
The 8-speed Steptronic gearbox that comes with this car is a smooth operator. With good gear ratios, this transmission makes the ride energetic and the average fuel consumption meagre. Fuel consumption is good if driven with less enthusiasm. Not bad for a car that is capable of going from 0-100 km/h in 5.8 seconds seconds and with a top speed of 250km/h!
For a powerful engine to be able to express itself, it needs a great chassis, this where the BMW engineers know a thing or two about as they have used their engineering development from their years in motorsports and of course their ‘M’ cars. It’s perfectly rigid and superbly balanced. The suspension attached to this car is not anything to write home about in terms of give, but it ensures exceptional handling. Thanks to the direct and precise steering, you can place the car within millimetres of the curb, and a mention has to be made for the new run-flat tires that come as standard fitment which are not as ‘hard’ like their previous provided set.
Click the drive mode into ‘Sport’ mode and the steering, throttle response and shifts are sharpened. In this mode, you can immediately feel the precision of the steering. Turn-in, and balance through the apex, even if washing off a lot of speed, it remains as sharp as you will find in other BMW sports sedan. There is also a ‘Sport+ mode that makes it sharper again and frees up the stability control thresholds, but this better left aside when driving on public roads as we found out a couple of times.
Our Suggestion
Visit the outlet nearest to you and just enjoy the BMW experience before you decide which BMW or Mini to take home.
