The 2017 BMW 3 Series continues this tradition, offering an exhilarating driving experience paired with cutting-edge technology and unmatched comfort. In this article, we will dive into the technical specifications, modifications, engine versions, trim levels, design, and handling of the BMW 3 Series 2017.
Technical Specifications
The 2017 BMW 3 Series is available in three different body styles: sedan, wagon, and Gran Turismo. The sedan has a length of 182.5 inches, width of 71.3 inches, and height of 56.3 inches. It boasts a wheelbase of 110.6 inches, providing ample space for both passengers and cargo. The wagon and Gran Turismo offer even more versatility, with the wagon featuring an elongated body for added cargo capacity and the Gran Turismo offering a stylish hatchback design.
Modifications
For those looking to customize their BMW 3 Series, a wide range of modifications are available. From performance-enhancing upgrades to visual enhancements, the possibilities are endless. Upgrading the suspension system with sport-tuned components can further enhance the car's handling and responsiveness. Optional aerodynamic kits and carbon fiber accents can add a touch of sportiness to the exterior design. Interior modifications like sport seats, premium audio systems, and advanced driver assistance features are also available.
Engine Versions
The 2017 BMW 3 Series offers a variety of engine options to suit different driving preferences. The base model, the 320i, is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine producing 180 horsepower. The 330i model features a more powerful version of the same engine, delivering 248 horsepower. For those seeking even more power, the 340i comes with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6 engine with an impressive 320 horsepower. Each engine version is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, ensuring smooth gear shifts and optimal fuel efficiency.
Trim Levels
The BMW 3 Series 2017 is available in several trim levels, each offering a unique set of features and equipment. The base model, known as the Sport Line, comes well-equipped with features like LED headlights, dual-zone automatic climate control, and an infotainment system with a 6.5-inch display. Upgrading to the Luxury Line adds premium features such as leather upholstery and wood interior trim. The M Sport trim level offers a more aggressive exterior design, sport-tuned suspension, and upgraded brakes for ultimate performance.
Design and Handling
The design of the BMW 3 Series 2017 is a perfect blend of elegance and athleticism. Its sleek body lines, iconic kidney grille, and stylish LED headlights give it a commanding yet sophisticated presence on the road. The aerodynamic design not only improves fuel efficiency but also enhances handling and stability at high speeds.
When it comes to handling, the BMW 3 Series leaves nothing to be desired. With its balanced weight distribution and precise steering, it maneuvers effortlessly through corners, providing an engaging and dynamic driving experience. The suspension system is tuned for both comfort and sportiness, allowing for a smooth ride on long journeys while still maintaining agility when carving through winding roads.
Key Differences Between Generations
In 2017, there were two generations of the BMW 3 Series produced: the F30 and the G20. The F30 generation, which debuted in 2012, featured a slightly more angular design compared to its predecessor, with sharper lines and a more aggressive stance. On the other hand, the G20 generation, introduced in 2019, introduced a refreshed design with a larger kidney grille and redesigned headlights. It also saw improvements in technology and performance, with upgraded engines and advanced driver assistance systems.
In conclusion, the 2017 BMW 3 Series is a remarkable vehicle that continues to uphold BMW's reputation for superb engineering, luxurious features, and exhilarating driving pleasure. Whether you prioritize comfort, performance, or style, the BMW 3 Series offers something for everyone. Its versatile body styles, powerful engine options, and customizable features make it a standout choice in the luxury sedan segment.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
