M Sport
BMW have recently introduced the new “M Sport” range for their ever
popular 3 Series Saloon and Tourer. What is M Sport I hear you ask, well it’s

The M-Sport model features a wealth of details for an even more sporting
look. The special aerodynamics package makes for a visually
consistent exterior, with a choice of two BMW light-alloy wheels.
Exterior parts in body colour, the lowered M Sports suspension, and
High Gloss Shadow Line window finisher's compliment the look. In
the interior sports seats with exclusive cloth/leather upholstery, the

Anthracite headliner create an equally dynamic ambience. The
finishing touches are provided by the M door sill finisher's, M
footrest, shortened shift lever knob and the exclusive exterior colour
