BMW 3 Series Touring



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.

MOTO GUZZI BREVA 750


This particular ‘baby’ of the Moto Guzzi range takes its name from the wind that blows over Lario to disperse the clouds and announce the arrival of fair weather. Contemporary and eye-catching from the first glimpse, the Breva 750 is also unmistakably a Moto Guzzi, combining a sleek, anatomical tank, with classy three spoke wheels and a mean looking belly pan. Easy and intuitive to ride, the Breva 750 inspires you with instant confidence. Compact dimensions, a comfortable sitting position and great manoeuvrability make this baby Breva agile in city traffic and great fun on country roads, solo or with a passenger. Merit for this amazing agility is shared between the short wheelbase for easy leaning and rapid direction changes, and the rigid, double cradle frame in high strength steel tube for precision control and instant yet fluid response to the power provided by the fuel injected engine. Its easy ride and contagious good looks make the Breva 750 tremendously appealing to lady riders too. There is even an optional lower seat in the generous range of accessories dedicated to the Breva 750. The colour schemes also reflect the dual soul of the Breva 750, with traditional Guzzi Black and Corsa Red available alongside a trendy black and silver two-tone colour scheme, new for 2007.
