A CLASSIC SPREADS
ITS WINGS.
It has already outrun the competition, become a favorite of drivers
around the world, and advanced the luxury performance heritage of
BMW. So where does the BMW 3 Series go from here? It branches o
Not content to simply deliver a fresh twist on a timeless classic, BMW
expanded the personality of the 3 Series in a completely different way:
with Luxury, Modern, Sport and M Sport Lines. Each represents an
opportunity for owners to fall in love with a unique vehicle by choosing
the Line they feel best suits their personality. These innovative Lines
provide a totally customizable vehicle that’s literally designed to please.
The 3 Series includes inline four-cylinder and six-cylinder TwinPower
Turbo engines, as well as the BMW ActiveHybrid 3 Sedan. Products
of BMW EfficientDynamics, all three deliver outstanding efficiency
with thrilling acceleration. The BMW ActiveHybrid 3 is a full hybrid,
combining BMW’s six-cylinder turbocharged engine with a highperformance lithium-ion battery. Torque comes on strong right from
the start, for powerful, nearly silent thrust.
Both the 328i xDrive and 335i xDrive offer the optimized traction of
BMW’s xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive. However, regardless of the
Line, engine size or number of drive wheels, every BMW 3 Series
Sedan retains the same highly prized features: high-performance fuelefficient engines and transmissions, sporty handling and suspension,
and groundbreaking engineering advances, such as extensive lightweight construction and near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution. There
are also many exciting features and options to enhance the look, feel,
functionality and comfort of the 3 Series.
Trust BMW: good things will always come in 3s.

Luxury and performance take center stage in the
BMW 3 Series.
This BMW star performer steps out in style with a breathtaking complement of enhancements and styling cues,
thanks in part to the distinctive details of the four Lines.
There’s that confident stance on the road and aggressive
front end, highlighted by a unique “three-dimensional”
kidney grille. And in a noteworthy design feature, the front
headlights extend into the grille.
Both the front and rear accentuate the vehicle’s muscular
silhouette, as does the slight increase in height and length
over its predecessor. This translates to a more spacious
interior, with more legroom and headroom. Even as it
races away from sight, the L-shape taillights remind you:

The BMW 3 Series has always had plenty of personality to go around. Now BMW has
enhanced this legendary vehicle’s attitude - and its image. Four captivating, inventive
Lines satisfy owners of various stripes by offering exclusive details that instantly
identify the vehicle’s “mood.” The Sport Line and M Sport Line adhere to the 3 Series’
winning legacy on the track. The Modern Line is a more understated iteration that still
retains the impressive 3 Series character. And, as its name implies, the Luxury Line
delivers a wealth of elegance and sophistication inside and out. All four Lines retain,
at their core, the winning attributes of the 3 Series Sedan: classic contours, a sporty
stance, and that BMW charisma that keeps drivers coming back for more.

A FOUR-WAY TIE FOR FIRST.
Each BMW Line’s interior displays the inner workings of a class winner.
No matter which Line you choose, the BMW 3 Series shows off its inner beauty to stunning
effect. With a single look, you'll recognize the difference between each personality. Both
the M Sport Line and Sport Line show off their natural athleticism in bold trim accent colors
and eye-catching stitching. The Luxury Line creates an elegant space using a wealth of
rich materials, from supple Dakota Leather upholstery to warm wood trims. And the Modern
Line finds harmony among its elements, utilizing neutral hues and unique trims to achieve a
calming environment. Each variant has a personalized feel, along with the generous interior
space and unparalleled comfort that the 3 Series is known for. It’s today’s way to literally get
into your 3 Series vehicle — by discovering which Line speaks to you.

Balance and contemporary poise are the
rule for the BMW Modern Line. The rich
woodgrain of Fineline Anthracite Wood
interior trim with Pearl Gloss Chrome
highlight is delightfully paired with the
Oyster instrument panel and steering
wheel. Supple and calming, Dakota
Leather upholstery completes the picture.
The design scheme of the BMW Sport
Line makes effective use of bold color —
as in the red contrast stitching on the sport
steering wheel and the red contrasting
rings that surround the instrument dials
in the dashboard. Red or black highlights
accent the trims and upholstery.
The BMW Luxury Line imparts a
sense of unparalleled sophistication,
from classic upholstery colors and
exclusive stitching, to fine wood
trims, available with optional inlay.

UNFORGETTABLE DRIVING
STARTS WITH UNMATCHED
TECHNOLOGY.
The BMW 3 Series:
engineered to satisfy in every capacity.
Nothing says “BMW” like sporty control on the
road —- and no BMW model delivers it quite like
the 3 Series. It starts with the foundation: the rigid
yet lightweight construction of the suspension
and the near-perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
The 3 Series also features an advanced front
apron design that creates an Air Curtain to help
reduce turbulence in the wheel arch area. In
tandem with the BMW’s signature rear-wheel
drive, the 3 Series puts you in total, thrilling
command of the road.
This responsive handling is wedded to another
cutting-edge engineering advancement: Variable
Sport Steering, a variable-ratio steering system
option that offers nimble, precise handling at
lower speeds and more stable response at
higher speeds.
Speaking of road feel, Driving Dynamics Control
allows those behind the wheel to customize
the driving characteristics of the 3 Series, from
accelerator and engine response, to power
steering characteristics and Dynamic Stability
Control (DSC) thresholds. Those parameters are
grouped into four different modes: COMFORT,
SPORT, SPORT+ and ECO PRO, each designed
to offer a different driving experience. Another
button activates Dynamic Traction Control (DTC),
for easier starts and stops on loose surfaces or
in deep snow.
Now, with the availability of xDrive - BMW’s
intelligent all-wheel-drive system — an even
greater level of optimized traction is available
in the 335i xDrive and 328i xDrive Sedans.

THE ENGINES OF THE 3 SERIES:
MOTORWORKS OF ART.
The BMW 3 Series answers the question:
how exciting can efficiency be?
Inspiring performance is the hallmark of every
BMW 3 Series vehicle. It starts with the engine:
the heart of BMW’s reputation and the focal
point of many technological innovations over
the years.
This trend continues with the 3 Series Sedans —
especially with the BMW ActiveHybrid 3. All
engines incorporate our EfficientDynamics
principles for peerless performance, increased
efficiency and decreased emissions. All proudly
feature BMW’s innovative TwinPower Turbo
technology for aggressive, high-revving power
with smooth delivery and responsive acceleration.
In both the 335i and 335i xDrive, BMW's multiaward-winning 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine
produces 300 hp, 300 Ib-ft of torque, and a
5000-rpm redline. It’s this refined power that
propels the 335i xDrive from 0-60 in a breathtaking 4.8 seconds.'
In the 328i and 328i xDrive, BMW’s masterful
inline four-cylinder powerplant generates 240 hp
and 255 lb-ft of torque. Peak torque arrives at
1250 rpm and stays strong all the way through
to 4800 rpm. It’s enough to rocket the 328i
from standstill to 60 in just 5.7 seconds.?

The 328i xDrive comes with an 8-speed
automatic transmission, while the other three
models can be paired with a6-speed manual or
8-speed automatic transmission. Exclusive to
the Sport Line and M Sport Line, an 8-speed
Sport Automatic transmission with paddle
shifters, a first for the class, delivers smooth
shifting and control.
Boasting 335 hp and 330 Ib-ft of torque, the
BMW ActiveHybrid 3 rockets you from 0-60
in a blistering 5.2 seconds.3 When needed, a
temporary 55-hp boost increases dynamic
performance without sacrificing outstanding
efficiency. A hybrid-specific 8-speed automatic
transmission smoothly harnesses that power
while reducing background noise at high speeds
and lowering fuel consumption.

BMW urges you to obey all posted speed laws and always wear
safety belts.

They call it a cockpit - and with good
reason. The front seats of the 3 Series have
the ability to transport you with an exhilarating
level of control and comfort. The dash’s drivercentric tilt lets you know that this vehicle caters
to those behind the wheel. Start the engine; the
available full-color Head-up Display immediately
projects a range of crucial driving information
within easy sight. The Driving Dynamics Control
feature lets you select between COMFORT,

BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
WE’VE SPENT DECADES
ON SAVING GALLONS.
EfficientDynamics: how BMW defines a legacy of power.
Much more than simply a “template” for groundbreaking engineering
and design, EfficientDynamics encapsulates everything BMW stands
for: maximum high-performance output, with as little waste and emissions as possible. It’s a process that shows up in a variety of forms,
including the ECO PRO mode in the 3 Series. Accessible via Driving
Dynamics Control, this innovative power management system regulates energy consumption with an unprecedented level of precision
— even going so far as to alter the climate control, heated seats and
exterior mirrors in order to conserve fuel by as much as 20 percent
when operating at optimum efficiency. Then there’s the Auto Start-
Stop function, as well as the Hybrid Start-Stop function in the BMW
ActiveHybrid 3, both of which automatically switch the engine off
during short stops, such as at traffic lights. And the Brake Energy
Regeneration system captures unused kinetic energy that’s normally
wasted when braking and coasting, and stores it in the battery.
BMW EfficientDynamics also makes its way into the more traditional
features of the 3 Series. The engines are paragons of fuel efficiency.
For example, the TwinPower Turbo inline four-cylinder in the 328i
and 328i xDrive is a lively 2.0-liter powerplant with satisfyingly
responsive performance. The BMW ActiveHybrid 3 combines a
combustion engine with an electric motor
and an 8-speed automatic transmission
for quick acceleration and impressive fuel
efficiency. And all BMW 3 Series transmissions — whether 6-speed manual, 8-speed
STEPTRONIC automatic or 8-speed Sport
Automatic — allow faster, smoother shifting,
which uses less fuel.
Extensive use of lightweight construction
throughout the 3 Series Sedan ensures
alean and muscular vehicle. Even the
turbulence-reducing Air Curtain in the
front apron has a hand in forwarding the
EfficientDynamics mandate — proof that
the BMW 3 Series is the sum of many
intelligently designed components.

THESE SEATS ARE GOING FAST. Refined comfort has a place in high performance. At BMW, we realize if power is the key to true performance, then comfort is the key to true luxury. The 3 Series is no exception. Regardless of the Line, every inch of each vehicle is designed to please and inspire. And with more legroom and headroom than its predecessor, it’s already off to a good start. Plush Dakota Leather upholstery finished with Line-specific stitching ranges from subtle to bold contrasting. Likewise, trims vary greatly depending on the Line, ranging from soft-hued Woods to sporty Aluminum to sleek Black High Gloss and beyond. Generous fr loor storage compartments can easily fit one-liter water bottles; two cupholders for the driver and front-seat passenger are standard. In the back, the rear split-folding seats provide a range of cargo-carrying options. The 3 Series Sedan also boasts the latest-generation Comfort Access system - so even with your arms full of groceries or luggage, you can simply motion with your foot toward the trunk, and it pops open — as long as you have the key in your pocket or purse. With the 3 Series, relax — we've thought of everything. EVOLUTION OF THE SPECIES. An interview with Adrian van Hooydonk, Director of Product Design at the BMW Group, Munich, on the BMW 3 Series Sedan. As the bestselling model, the 3 Series Sedan plays a very important role within the BMW range. What does this special responsibility mean to you, and how is it reflected in the design? You're right, the BMW 3 Series Sedan is kind of the core model within the brand, which means it is of outstanding importance — both emotional as well as practical. The BMW 3 Series is the sporty compact Sedan that unites all the core values of the brand. So the vehicle has to exude a sporty, elegant and dynamic appeal, while still balancing this perfectly with everyday usability. Sporty, compact luxury sedans are what has built the BMW brand. This is the sixth-generation BMW 3 Series. What outstanding features do they all have in common? The BMW 3 Series has always aimed to be the world’s sportiest sedan. And so far, each generation 3 Series Sedan has been the benchmark and standard in its segment. Of course, that’s something we want to continue. If you had to sum up the 3 Series in two concepts, what would they be? Rooted in history and moving forward in design. The 3 Series has a rich history. With each new generation it receives a fresh and contemporary face that interprets the iconic features of classic BMW design in a new way, moving the design forward. When an observer approaches today’s 3 Series Sedan, what is the first impression the design should make? The observer should immediately recognize that the BMW 3 Series Sedan is the iconic sporty compact luxury car. The BMW brand’s core values of sportiness, elegance and dynamism must be apparent at first glance. The headlights and kidney grille of the BMW 3 Series almost form a single unit, projecting a very focused gaze. Is that an expression of sportiness? The focused look of the twin headlights with the slightly cut-off top edge is already familiar from other models, and it’s reinforced here by the chamfered bottom edge. The way the headlights and kidney grille coalesce to form one visual unit harks back to the sporting history of the BMW brand. Driver orientation is a key feature of the BMW 3 Series Sedan interior. How is it expressed? Driver orientation is a hallmark BMW characteristic that can be found in every model. Of course, it’s of particular importance in the BMW 3 Series Sedan, with its sporty personality. So the instrument panel is clearly angled toward the driver, continuing via the center console into the interior. All relevant controls are ergonomically arranged around the driver, for intuitive operation. The freestanding flat screen appears light and elegant. The bulk and height of the instrument panel have been reduced. How did this innovation come about? Thanks to improvements in Display technology, we were now able to implement this design in the BMW 3 Series, as well. The entire interior benefits from this. The vehicle becomes lighter, and gains a more upmarket feel. Tell us about the “Lines” concept. In addition to the basic equipment, the BMW 3 Series is available in equipment configurations that clearly differentiate the exterior and interior appearance of the vehicle. The Sport, M Sport, Luxury and Modern Lines each underscore different personality facets of the BMW 3 Series Sedan. In this way, customers can create a vehicle that expresses who they are and conforms to their preferences. In addition to new colors and shapes, you are now using innovative materials, such as porous wood in the Modern Line. How big a challenge was it to integrate this material into a vehicle? The porous wood looks and feels very much like untreated wood. The trim elements have a matte finish and a three-dimensional texture that really invites you to touch and experience them. The window areas in the BMW 3 Series appear bigger and lower than in its predecessor. What effect were you aiming for? We took care to design a greenhouse that felt very light — with thin pillars and lots of window area, for good visibility. The unified window design also elongates the vehicle visually, and makes the BMW 3 Series appear very dynamic and elegant when seen from the side. Adrian van Hooydonk, thank you very much for this interesting and informative conversation. GC 478 3fae = Tower of London

BMW EfficientDynamics
Less emissions. More driving pleasure.
BMW was one of the first manufacturers to pursue the goal of efficient driving technologies, as part
of a multi-award-winning sustainability strategy. BMW EfficientDynamics represents an acclaimed
standard package of innovative technologies that reduce fuel consumption and emissions, while
simultaneously enhancing dynamic performance. Since 1995 BMW has been able to reduce the CO
emissions of its entire fleet by approximately 30 percent and intends to achieve a further 25 percent
reduction by 2020.

BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS:
MAKING A LITTLE GO A LONG WAY.
Different paths to the same destination: unmistakable BMW driving pleasure. Under the umbrella of the BMW EfficientDynamics project, BMW is
continuously developing innovative systems that will bring us closer to the goal of emissions-free mobility in the long term. This BMW program for
more driving pleasure is based on several pillars:
Eco-friendly technology. The development of more efficient vehicles powered by conventional diesel and gasoline engines are continuing challenges. A comprehensive technology directive enables the reduction of fuel consumption and emissions, while at the same time increasing power
output and driving enjoyment. These advances are based on innovations such as BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, Brake Energy Regeneration,
Air Curtain front apron design, and many others.
BMW ActiveHybrid. With the BMW ActiveHybrid 7, BMW ActiveHybrid 5 and BMW ActiveHybrid 3, BMW has impressive hybrid production models
in its line. All combine outstanding efficiency with superlative dynamic ability.
BMW ActiveE. Since 2011, there has been a new form of dynamism on the roads: the all-electric BMW ActiveE. It is manufactured in a small
production run, as part of a pilot project. In this way, BMW is preparing the way for the emissions-free mobility of the future.
BMW hydrogen and electric. BMW continues its research into alternative drive concepts for the future, such as hydrogen drive. The BMW i brand
launches completely new vehicle concepts for sustainable mobility in an urban environment, such as the BMW i3 and the BMW i8. Key features of
these vehicle concepts include the use of lightweight materials such as carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP), electric drive systems, powerful
battery technology and eco-friendly production methods. BMW EfficientDynamics technologies are also an important part of BMW i vehicles.

THE 3 SERIES SEDAN’S
EFFICIENT DYNAMICS INITIATIVE AT A GLANCE.
Auto Start-Stop function and Hybrid Start-Stop function.
Even when idling, such as at a stop sign, an engine burns fuel. BMW’s
Auto Start-Stop function and Hybrid Start-Stop function enhance fuel
efficiency by switching off the engine. (The intelligent electronics system
first checks the battery charge level and calculates if other electric systems, like the heated rear window, need more energy.) Once the brake
pedal is released, the engine starts up again almost instantly. A Start-Stop
signal in the Display indicates the function is active.
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology.
This innovative twin-scroll turbocharging technology efficiently reclaims
the energy contained in exhaust gases, using a twin-scroll charger with
a double-flow exhaust system.
Brake Energy Regeneration.
To supply a battery with electrical energy, the generator (alternator) is
usually driven using engine power, which requires fuel. With Brake
Energy Regeneration, the alternator generates electricity only when
you take your foot off the accelerator. Kinetic energy that was previously
unharnessed is transformed into electrical energy, which is then fed into
the battery. In this way, electricity is generated without consuming fuel.
Electric power steering.
Unlike conventional, hydraulic steering systems, electric power steering
draws power only during actual steering movements. When the steering
wheel position is constant, the electric motor is inactive.
ECO PRO mode.
Driving in ECO PRO mode helps customers achieve fuel savings of up
to 20 percent, depending on their individual style of driving. This mode
optimizes accelerator and transmission response as well as shift points,
and intelligently adapts the heating/air conditioning strategy. ECO PRO
tips help the driver drive even more efficiently. The bonus range shown
by the on-board computer indicates how many additional miles the driver
has gained thanks to the increased efficiency in ECO PRO mode since
the last fill-up.
8-speed Sport Automatic transmission.
The close spacing of gear ratios in the 8-speed Sport Automatic transmission makes maximum use of the optimum rev range, reducing fuel
consumption and allowing smoother shifts.
Lightweight construction.
Our engineers use lightweight aluminum throughout our vehicles — in
the front section, for example, or for the suspension. BMW's six-cylinder
TwinPower Turbo engine is all aluminum. Taken together, these weight
savings lead to lower fuel consumption and better axle load distribution
for more agility, especially in curves.
High Precision Direct Injection.
In this latest-generation direct fuel injection system, the piezo injectors
are positioned very close to the spark plugs. They inject fuel at high
pressure, with extreme precision, for very efficient combustion.
Not all BMW EfficientDynamics features are available on all models.
Please see your authorized BMW center for details.

TWO ENGINES THAT MAKE ALL THE RIGHT MOVES.
High-rewing power and responsiveness are characteristics of every BMW engine. Naturally, the BMW TwinPower Turbo engines available for the
BMW 3 Series Sedan follow the BMW EfficientDynamics philosophy: to combine maximum performance with maximum efficiency, minimizing both
fuel consumption and CO; emissions. Whichever engine you choose, maximum driving pleasure combined with superb efficiency is the result.

BMW 328i and 328i xDrive.
Small is now the big idea in engines — namely, BMW’s mighty inline
four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo. Displacing just 2.0 liters, this 240-hp
marvel generates 255 Ib-ft of torque at just 1250 rpm, for potent thrust
that kicks in right from the start and continues all the way up to 4800
rpm. Lightweight and smooth-running, this four-cylinder engine is modeled on the current multi-award-winning six-cylinder inline engine with
BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, which is the benchmark in its class
for dynamic power delivery and impressive efficiency. Its dynamic performance is equaled by spectacular fuel efficiency, taking you further on
every gallon of gas than did its six-cylinder predecessor.

BMW and the environment.
BMW is a strong proponent of the environment and social responsibility. We launched
BMW EfficientDynamics back in 2000 - the philosophy of providing greater power with
increased efficiency and fewer emissions. This has resulted in significant benefits today
—for our customers, the climate and the environment.
That year, ecological sustainability was also declared one of BMWs core strategic
principles; it is now firmly anchored in our entire production chain. It starts with the
development of fuel-saving and alternative vehicle concepts, continues with environmentally friendly production processes, and ends with innovative recycling methods.
This effort has been recognized worldwide; in 1999, BMW AG - the parent company
LL | of BMW of North America and BMW Manufacturing Co. in Spartanburg, SC - was the
first automotive company to be represented on the Dow Jones Sustainability Group
Index. It has remained on the Index ever since; moreover, since 2005, BMW has been
voted the world’s most sustainable automobile manufacturer. At BMW, we strive for
MIX and achieve high performance in all we do.
