BMW Group Australia has announced a substantial revision of its most popular model line-up, the 3 Series Sedan and
Touring variants. A combination of increased specification levels, reduced option pricing and several feature updates
enhance the comfort, convenience and safety of every version of these vehicles, increasing their customer appeal and
real-world value.
Phil Horton, managing director of BMW Group Australia, said the end result means the new BMW 3 Series Sedan and
Touring variants are “absolute winners.”
“The 3 Series is lauded for its excellent driving dynamics and beautiful styling, and now it boasts increased
specification and more attractive option pricing. Who could ask for more?” Horton said.
The updates to the BMW 3 Series Touring models are effective from July 2013 production and from August 2013 for the
BMW 3 Series Sedan range.
A summary of the host of changes applicable on each model in the 3 Series Sedan and Touring models is outlined
