BMW 3-SERIES M340I XDRIVE 

- Stephen Dobie

Three spirit

It'd be a sad day if BMW screwed up the 3-Series. Delightfully, that day is still yet to come. This mid-life refresh for the G20-gen car drips in lots more digitalisation and touchscreen reliance but without messing the whole thing up.

A chat with the 3-Series dynamics team reveals a moment of wonderful frankness. They realised the car was already leading its class for handling and left well alone. It takes a brave engineer to admit their meddling on a project would be wholly unnecessary. And so this car drives as brilliantly as it always did.
