BMW India has added two new variants to its 3-Series lineup, the 320d Corporate Edition (for individuals) and the 330i petrol.
The BMW 320d Corporate is now the base 3-Series model in India and was previously just available to fleet owners with a minimum order of 3 units. Now the 320d would be available for single buyers as well, with an added features like semi-electric driver seat. The 320d CE misses out on the sunroof, CD changer and wood garnishing but the buyer would be saving about Rs. 10 lakhs as compared to the Highline.

The BMW 330i is now the top-end variant of the 3-Series in India and is priced at Rs. 33.40 lakhs whereas the 320d is priced at Rs. 23.95 lakhs.
The BMW 330i boasts an in-line six-cylinder petrol engine with High Precision Injection featuring a lightweight magnesium / aluminum alloy crankcase. It powers the saloon from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. The BMW 330i has a 2996cc six-cylinder engine with the maximum output of 190kW at 6600 RPM and maximum torque of 300Nm at 2500-4000 RPM.
While the BMW 320dβs four-cylinder diesel engine displaces 1995 cc with the maximum output reaching 130kW at 4000 RPM and maximum torque of 350 Nm at 1750-3000 RPM.
The BMW 3 Series will be available in six paint finishes β Alpine White, Sapphire Black, Monaco Blue, Space Grey, Platinum Bronze and Titanium Silver. Individual upholstery designs in Dakota leather will be available in four colours β Beige, Black, Oyster and Saddle Brown for BMW 320d Highline, BMW 320i and BMW 330i. Upholstery design in Sensatec Beige or Black is available on the BMW 320d Corporate Edition.
BMW has been trying hard to keep its slim advantage in the high-end car market in India β at this prices, the 320d is quite capable of tempting potentialVolkswagen Passat, Skoda Laura, and even Honda Accord buyers to take a look at the entry-level BMW sedan. We can certainly expect Mercedes Benz India to try to counter the price war β this is going to be interesting to watch!
