Since the all-new BMW 3 Series sedan was introduced to the US market in May of 2005, it has been honored as "Automobile of the Year " by AUTOMOBILE Magazine, named to Car And Driver's "10Best" Cars list as "Best Luxury Sports Sedan" for an unprecedented 15 years in a row and proclaimed "World Car of the Year" by an international jury of 46 automotive journalists. With its legendary combination of power, performance and practicality, the successor to the world's first sports sedan is, to many driving enthusiasts, still the best.

For 2007, the best sports sedans and sports wagons in the compact luxury segment receive new engines, improved performance, new colors and interior updates

Interior upgrades, new exterior colors

Galvanic silver trim matching the trim around the start/stop button has been applied to the climate control knobs adding a premium touch to the console.  The sport steering wheel, available with the optional Sport Package, is now the same as that of the 3 Series Coupes' with galvanic accents.  Satellite radio preparation is standard.  There are two changes to the 3 Series Sedan and Sports Wagon exterior color palette: Crimson Red replaces Electric Red and Montego Blue metallic takes over for Mystic Blue metallic.

The fifth generation of the 3 Series

From their low, wind-slicing front end through an upswept silhouette to a high trunk lid or large-area tailgate that enhances aerodynamics and cargo space, the '07 3 Series Sedans and Sports Wagons are a logical progression from their predecessors.  Not only does the first glance tell you that these are BMWs; it also tells you clearly that they are 3 Series.

Compared to their predecessors, these models are larger in every dimension.  Their wheelbase it is up by 1.4 in., length is 2.2 in. greater for the Sedans, 1.9 in. for the Sports Wagons.  Width has increased a full 3.0 in. and the new models are 0.8 in. (Sedans) or 1.0 in. taller.  These increases in exterior dimensions translate into greater safety capabilities, enhanced luxury and comfort equipment and greater passenger and cargo space: shoulder room, front head room, rear knee room and EPA-rated passenger and cargo volumes have all increased.



Exterior       

Aerodynamics

Interior





Ergonomics and luxury: more space, enhanced functionality, new elegance

New automatic climate control

Though the previous 3 Series has excellent automatic climate control, the current models’ system offers an even higher level of performance, sophistication and features.

New features include –

  •     Separate left and right temperature controls vs. the predecessors’ single temperature control.
  •    Temperature- and volume-controlled rear air outlets that give rear passengers greater control over their environment.
  •     Climate-controlled center console compartment.
  •     Mist sensor.  Via the windshield wipers’ rain sensor, misting of the windshield is sensed visually and system operation adjusted to clear it up.
  •    Heat at Rest.  Allows heating the interior for a limited time with the engine off. Familiar from larger BMW models but new to the 3 Series; facilitated by the engine’s electric coolant pump.
  •     Maximum a/c setting for rapid cool-down at a single touch of a button.
  •     Increased blower power means not only increased maximum cooling or heating power, but also quieter operation at the normal blower speeds that are now a smaller proportion of maximum.
  •    Further optimized design of ducts and outlets, also cutting airflow noise.
  •     Automatic reduction of blower speed when the vehicle comes to a stop, for yet another reduction in noise.
  •    Indirect airflow via outlets atop the dash, for pleasant, draft-free climatization (not for defrosting or demisting).
  •      Recall of individual users’ settings via Key Memory:
  •     Temperatures
  •      Manually selected air distribution (windshield, body-level, footwells)

Other thoughtful features continue from the previous system:

  •    Active-charcoal microfilter ventilation
  •     Bi-directional solar sensor for front compartment (takes into account the intensity and direction of solar heat in determining cooling of interior)
  •    Automatic recirculation control, with specific sensing capability for diesel exhaust.


Two audio systems, two subwoofers

Upholstery and trim: standard wood, optional leather

Leatherette upholstery is standard in all models; leather is available in four colors, two of them new.  Dark Burl Walnut trim is standard; lighter-tone Poplar Natural and aluminum trim are available at no extra cost.  Following a lead set by the 5, 6 and 7 Series, new “galvanic” trim appears on the instruments‘ and Start/Stop button‘s outer rings and several other interior detail elements; this elegant material has a plastic core, with a true metallic surface applied galvanically in several layers and a clear top coat to protect against corrosion.

Seating choices, including sport seats with adjustable backrest width

Height-adjustable, 6-way manual front seats are standard in 328i/xi models; 8-way power seats are optional in 328i/xi and standard in the 335i model.  New are available sport seats with adjustable backrest width, a feature first seen in the M3 Coupe.  Available in both Sedan models are split folding rear seats and an interior-to-trunk pass-through with ski bag.

Seating choices are only one amenity among the many enjoyed by drivers and passengers in the 3 Series.
  Others include –

  •  Auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, the latter offered on this Series for the first time.
  •   A digital compass, set into the interior mirror. 
  •   A standard 2-way power moonroof with more opening area than before on the Sedans; on the Sports Wagon, an even larger dual-panel moonroof.
  •   Voice Command, included in the Navigation/iDrive option.
  •  Available Bluetooth interface for cellphones.
  •   Front and rear overhead consoles, each with separate left/right reading lights, Ambiance Lighting and other features.  Predecessor models had an overhead console and Ambiance Lighting only at the front.
  •   Footwell lighting
  •    A fold-up rear center armrest.

Increased cargo space, handy trunk features in Sedans

Elimination of the spare tire and jack, possible because run-flat tires are standard across the board, has helped create approximately 12% more cargo space than before. Moreover, the official EPA measurement on which this claim is based does not include a deep well under the trunk floor that encloses about 1.75 cubic feet and offers a place to store smaller objects without worry of their moving around when the vehicle is in motion.

Sports Wagons interior and cargo area

  •     High-lift tailgate, electrically released from remote or interior switch.
  •     Separately opening rear window, for convenient loading without opening the tailgate.
  •     Fully lined cargo area – floor, sides, back sides of rear seats – with luxurious, yet long-wearing carpet.
  •   Wider than that in the previous Wagon, and with straight, essentially vertical sides, the cargo area presents various cargo possibilities:
  •     16.2 cubic feet of volume with the seats upright and cargo loaded  to the top of the seats
  •     24.8 cubic feet with the seats upright and cargo loaded to the ceiling
  •     60.9 cubic feet with the seats folded and cargo loaded to the ceiling
  •     Luggage straps on the right side
  •     Bag holder at either side
  •     12-volt accessory power outlet on the left-hand wall.
  •     Cargo cover, concealing cargo when the seats are upright; user has option of having cover rise when rear window or tailgate is opened (by tapping the release twice) or remaining in place (by tapping once).
  •    If, once raised, a rear-seat backrest is not fully locked into place, a red tab appears to help call users’ attention to it.
  •    A cargo net, carried in a roller assembly with the cargo cover, that can be mounted with the rear seats either upright or folded
  •     Red light at left bottom of tailgate, for safety; visible when tailgate is open.


A Cargo Compartment package, which offers additional storage configurations, is available as a BMW center-installed accessory.

Driving  and chassis



Improving on tradition: all-new chassis engineering

  • Small positive steering offset, for best steering feel and control under all road conditions.  The two arms don't actually intersect; if you visually extend their axes to a point where they do intersect, you find a "virtual pivot point" that is ideal for achieving this result.  (Steering offset is the "lever arm when" through which road forces act on the suspension system.)
  • Large steering caster, for outstanding stability in straight-line driving and excellent steering return action coming out of curves.
  • Space for large brakes, by virtue of the two lower arms' arrangement.
  • Further advantages are found in the details:
  •  The trailing (forward) lower arm has a rubber/hydraulic cushion, which provides highly effective "compliance" for enhancing ride comfort.
  •  The transverse (rearward) lower arm is cushioned by a finely tuned rubber element that promotes direct and precise steering response in corners and curves.
  •  Extensive aluminum componentry in RWD models for low unsprung weight. This improves the suspension's response to bumps and other road irregularities; it can markedly improve riding comfort and, on any irregular road surface, handling as well.  In these models, aluminum components include: both lower arms, steering knuckle, brake calipers and the brake shields.
  •   As at the front, there is a virtual pivot point for each pair of links, giving the engineers similar freedom in optimizing the system's geometry for best handling.  Also as at the front, the axis connecting these virtual points is configured to ensure that driving, braking and road forces all act effectively on short leverage.  The result is very precise handling, especially insensitive to road disturbances.
  •  Under cornering forces the system controls geometry in such a way as to achieve contradictory qualities; the degree to which they are mutually achieved is a measure of a suspension's excellence.
  •  Contributing to the outstanding geometry is the wide and rigid basis on which the rear tires are "planted" on the road.  The lateral links are extremely rigid also, as is the subframe.
  •   All suspension links connect to the subframe; no longer does any link pivot directly from the body structure.  This further reduces the effects of road irregularities on riding comfort, and improves handling precision as well.
  • The large and elaborate subframe enhances energy management in a crash, including the more severe rear-end impact that the new models are designed to withstand.

Steering: evolution standard; revolution optional

The 3 Series' engine-speed-sensitive variable-assist power rack-and-pinion steering system has generated universal praise.  An auto magazine once described it as "nearly telepathic."  This standard steering system continues essentially unchanged, although with a somewhat less direct overall ratio of 16.0:1.  Yet numbers don't always tell the entire story, for the new suspension and sub frame have already sharpened the 3 Series models' reaction to steering inputs.

The "revolution" here is the newly optional Active Steering for RWD 3 Series models, previously available on the 5 and 6 Series.

xDrive: BMW's "intelligent" all-wheel drive system

The 328xi Sedan and the 328xi Sports Wagon incorporate BMW's advanced xDrive AWD and traction.  xDrive operates as follows:

  •  Driving torque is always transmitted to the rear wheels, and most of the time, to all 4 wheels.
  •   The portion of the torque transmitted to the front wheels is controlled by a multi-disc clutch that can be fully open, fully engaged or at any degree of partial engagement in between.  The torque split between rear and front wheels is steplessly variable.
  •   Engagement pressure on the multi-disc clutch is directed by an electronic control system in response to actual road and driving conditions.

Safety 




Safety engineering and features: improving on a star performer

The previous 3 Series’ safety performance has long been recognized by authoritative, independent observers:

  •    After conducting its own offset crash test of a 3 Series Sedan for the March 11, ’99 issue, Germany’s auto motor und sport magazine concluded, “Occupant protection by the new 3 Series is already at such a high level that only marginal improvements can be imagined.”
  •  And in the U.S., the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, after conducting its own crash test of the 3 Series Sedan, concluded simply, “A Best Pick.”


In developing the all-new vehicle structure, BMW’s safety engineers set out not just to match, but to improve on, the predecessors‘ excellent safety performance.  Integrated into this overall goal were specific targets, including –

  •   Achieving 5 stars in the Euro-NCAP (New Car Assessment Program) offset frontal crash test
  •  Meeting the new U.S. FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard) 301, which specifies a brutal 50-mph rear-end offset crash.  The impact is taken by 70% of the test vehicle’s width; not only must stringent injury criteria be met, but the fuel system must remain free of leaks.
  •   Meeting the new IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) “SUV side-impact” test, in which an impact from a tall vehicle at 50 km/h (31.1 mph) is simulated.


Various engineering approaches toward the new 3’s even higher-performing structure included:

  •    Use of new high-strength steels in the large-section structural elements.
  •    Targeted application of further new types of steel, including multi-phase types, at various points to promote effective energy management.
  •     Developing and improving energy paths by which the immense forces of frontal crash impacts are led through the structure and dissipated.  Here, the engineers concentrated on optimizing the interaction between front-end deformation and the ability of the passenger space to remain intact.  For severe frontal collisions – especially offset, when one side of the vehicle takes the brunt – they found ways to transfer the forces into the other side, so that the more heavily impacted side doesn’t have to absorb all the forces.  The resulting extremely high energy-absorption capability is the basis for keeping the passenger space intact – and for optimum calibration of passive-safety systems such as safety belts and airbags.
  •   In side impacts as well, the structure is similarly designed to transfer impact energy to the side away from the impact.  Here the IIHS’s “SUV test” raised the bar for occupant safety in severe side collisions.  Elements that manage this massive impact energy include the –
  •     floor structure
  •  doors, which retain BMW’s effective interlocking door anchoring system
  •   reinforced B-pillars
  •     dash structure, which functions as much more than just a carrier for instruments, climate control, etc.
  •      roof framing.
  •    In rear-end impacts, the deformable area consists of –
  •     two longitudinal structural members
  •   the trunk floor and lid (Sedans) or tailgate (Sports Wagons)
  •      trunk or cargo-area side walls, as integral elements of the overall body-side structures
  •    various additional reinforcements.
  •    The footrest is designed to crush under the force of the driver’s left foot, so that the full impact force is not transmitted to his or her foot and leg.
  •   Brake and clutch pedals move forward under impact force, also reducing force transfer to the driver’s feet and legs if they are on the pedals.





Performance with a conscience

BMW strives to produce its motor vehicles and other products with the utmost attention to environmental compatibility and protection.  Integrated into the design and development of BMW automobiles are such criteria as resource efficiency and emission control in production; environmentally responsible selection of materials; recyclability during production and within the vehicle; elimination of CFCs and hazardous materials in production; and continuing research into environmentally friendly automotive power sources.

 Tangible results of these efforts include the recycling of bumper cladding into other vehicle components; water-based paint color coats and powder clear coats; near-future availability of hydrogen-powered models; and various design and engineering elements that help make BMWs easier to dismantle at the end of their service life.

The benchmark sports sedans set a new benchmark

Few cars have inspired as much competition as this family of perennial pacesetters," raved Car and Driver in its January '05 10Best awards, "and fewer still resisted so successfully.  What's the 3 Series' secret?  Smooth, 6-cylinder power, exemplary ergonomics, silky-smooth shifting supple ride quality, eager responses, superb seats and proportions that never look out of date."

While all these attributes play an important part of defining the success of the BMW 3 Series its iconic status over the years is mostly derived from how it drives.  Though many of BMW's competitors have tried, and are still trying to, no one else quite knows how to match this winning
combination which is the quintessential driver's car.
