New BMW 3 series 320d Sportline India review: Sensibly Insane

Verdict

New 2013 BMW 320D India (35)

Price as tested: Rs 32.92 lak ex-Delhi

It’s hard to find flaws in the 320d and BMW has put in massive efforts in ironing out the key issues with the previous gen 3 series, namely smaller cabin size and stiff ride. It returns fantastic fuel economy which is in league with the small cars and is brilliant considering the performance on tap. Clever electronics help to push this even further. At the price mentioned above, the 320d Sport Line sits slam bang between the A4 2.0 TDi and the C250CDI, and in our humble opinion is a better car than the other two. The pricing is not a issue then.

Spacious cabin, well-appointed high quality interiors, frugal engine, fabulous transmission – it has all the bells and whistles which one would really make frequent use. Apart from the claims of aerodynamic efficiency and weight saving measures, the new 320d has a very elegant, pleasing design with a touch of sportiness without being overly so (remember what we said about the suspension set up as well?). It ticks all the right boxes to make it a totally desirable package. No wonder, it has gone on to compete with the top in its segment and won multiple Executive car of the year across the globe. With the 320d, we endorse this!
