The seventh generation BMW 3 Series sedan is set to be launched in India today. This is the sixth launch for the carmaker in India in the last year and replaces the model which can arguably be called the focal point of the BMW brand.

The 320d, now makes 190PS and 400 Nm from a 2.0-litre turbocharged diesel motor. This gets to 100 kmph from standstill in 6.8s
Inside, the circular, more organic theme of earlier BMW cars has been replaced with an angular design, like in the new 8-Series and X5
The new 3 Series folows a similar design strategy to what BMW has followed with the latest 5-Series and 7-Series as well but the interpretation here is sharper
The 3-Series also moves to the CLAR architecture, sharing it with the 5-Series. (Picture of the BMW 5 series for reference)
The car has been reworked completely and is now larger and lighter than before
