BMW 3 Series 3.0 M Sport Auto Euro 6 (s/s) 4dr

+SUNROOF+PRONAV+£££EXTRAS+ULEZ++HISTORY+2KEYSSome national car markets do not encourage diesel engines, either due to the local cost of the fuel or the taxation of the engines for environmental reasons. But all markets are looking for more efficient cars and that's the reason behind BMW's hybrid powerplant technology. In the 3 Series it forms a range-topping performance flagship with lower emissions. The Active Hybrid 3 is the developmental result of an entirely new drivetrain designed chiefly for markets like the USA, where diesel engines are not popular. It occupies a niche as a compact performance hybrid saloon, but it's clearly the most advanced 3 Series with its powerful six-cylinder petrol engine and electric motor that can power the car on its own for a few miles as long as the driver is careful. The Active Hybrid 3 is both faster and more efficient than the 335i. Some might say it will be a fantastic lower-emission around town, but while that may technically be true its real purpose in Europe is to present lower emissions and the associated tax benefits to the privileged few executives for whom a car of this value is a viable company-sourced option. In Britain a lower CO2 output means lower company car tax. Aside from the drivetrain it aims to be as normal a 3 Series as possible, with a good-size saloon boot, a BMW-standard media and navigation interface and nondescript styling. The only outward clues to the hybrid's identity are found in the Active Hybrid 3 badges on the C-pillar and a unique design of 18-inch alloy wheel. Our verdict on the BMW 3 Series Active Hybrid 3 M Sport:This is a very niche model for European buyers and there are few who would prefer to pay the extra to buy this rather than choosing a much cheaper and considerably more economical EfficientDynamics diesel model. But that doesn't stop the Active Hybrid 3 being an impressive technical exercise and one that drives convincingly well. It's an elitist choice but a quiet, smooth and confident one. 18in Alloy Wheels - Light M Star Spoke - 400M,ASC - Automatic Stability Control,Airbags - Curtain,Airbags - Front Side,Airbags - Passenger,Alarm System Thatcham 1 with Remote Control,Automatically Dimming Rear View Mirror,Bluetooth Hands Free with USB Audio Interface,CBC - Cornering Brake Control,Comfort Go Keyless Engine Start,Cruise Control with Brake Function,DSC - Dynamic Stability Control Plus,DTC - Dynamic Traction Control,Daytime Running Lights,Display - 8.8in Colour Screen,Front Fog Lights,Full Black Panel Display,Halogen Headlights,Headlights - Automatic Activation,Heat Protection Glazing with Green Tint,Heated Windscreen Washer Jets,LED Tailights,PDC - Park Distance Control - Front and Rear,PDC - Park Distance Control - Rear,Servotronic Steering,Shark Fin Aerial,Steering Wheel - Leather - M Sport,TPMS - Tyre Pressure Monitoring,Steering Wheel - M Sport Leather Multifunction,TPWS - Tyre Pressure Warning System,19in Alloy Wheels - M Star Spoke - 403M,40-20-40 Split Folding Rear Seats,Adaptive Headlights,Concierge Service,Door Mirrors - Folding - Automatically Dimming,Enhanced Bluetooth Telephone Preparation with USB Audio Interface and Voice Control,Extended Storage,Glass Sunroof,Head Restraints - Rear and Folding,Headlights - Washer System,High-beam Assistant,Interior Comfort Package,Interior Trim - Burr Walnut Wood,M Sport Braking System,M Sport Plus Package,Media Package - BMW Professional,Navigation System - BMW Professional Multimedia,Seat Adjustment - Front Electric with Driver Memory,Seats - Front Heated,Speaker System - Harman Kardon,Sun Protection Glazing,Visibility Package,Xenon Headlights,Dakota Leather - Oyster with Dark Oyster Highlight with Black Interior
