BMW has brought the latest generation of the successful 3 Series to India starting at a price of Rs 41.40 lakh. 

Codenamed G20, the new 3 Series retains the basic DNA of the previous generation, but with new modern changes that increase practicality and comfort. 

On the outside, a larger BMW-signature kidney grille dominates the front along with the new L-shaped LED daytime running lights that replace the traditional round BMW headlights. At the back, the taillamps are a lot sleeker now with their new elegant design.  The interior cabin is generous and gets features like 12.3-inch digital instrument display, 10.25-inch control display, wireless charging, ambient lighting with six options and a glass sunroof. The infotainment system comes with the latest version of BMW’s iDrive system.
