The exterior of the BMW 3 Series Touring.
The curved front section with wide wind intake vents and the elegant shape of the headlights deflects wind in all directions as it passes the flexed arch of the bonnet with its poignant character lines that taper towards the emblem. Accelerating as it moves over the long curving lines of its gently sloping rear with BMW-familiar L-shape taillights, it then disappears as quickly as it arrived - the BMW 3 Series Touring continues on unperturbed leaving wind resistance far behind.
The interior of the BMW 3 Series Touring.
One glance inside the cockpit and across the distinctive dashboard and you immediately know that within the BMW 3 Series Touring hides a realm of discoveries: interior trims in fine wood, titanium or aluminium compliment the perfectly combined colours, materials and high-quality chrome trim that underscore the generous spaciousness inside the vehicle. However, you would be forgiven for overlooking the intelligently positioned instrument dials - they are simply placed where you expect to find them.
Spaciousness in the BMW 3 Series Touring.
Compact on the outside, generously spacious on the inside, the BMW 3 Series Touring provides all of its passengers with plenty of leg- and headroom. When the rear seat is in an upright position, the boot possesses 460 litres of stowage space. However, the rear seats can be split to fold down in a 60:40 ratio, increasing the total boot capacity of the vehicle to an impressive 1,385 litres. An additional stowage compartment is located underneath the boot floor that is available with luggage fasteners or a reversible liner and integrated protective cover.
