BMW haven’t really tinkered with the overall look of the BMW 3 Series, the headlight assemblies flow into the grilles although they are slightly narrower than the 2011 model, also the light clusters used are an improvement on the ones used in other BMW models. Inside the aluminium trim in the Sport Line model is patterned and textured and the ActiveHybrid 3 features “open-pored” wood trim, which has raised grain as if it’s been rubbed down. Other areas where BMW have made changes include the boot which is 13.7 cubic feet, up from 12 in the previous generation.
