Behold, after much clamor in the press, appeared the first spy pictures of the new BMW 3 Series facelift.
At the first sight, the aesthetic changes are almost imperceptible, and only at a detailed analysis, they can be discovered.
Only a diehard enthusiast could make the difference between a 3 Series F30 and the facelift version. But we all know that the facelift is often understood a change in the front and rear but, and here we include the optical blocs with the LED lights in the style of 2 series, and bumpers. Inside we see a reorganization of the climate control panel and small aluminum accents presented on the air vents and doors. However, the development has reached more space under the bonnet and name patterns.
So, in the Bavarians range appeared a new model BMW 340i! But under its hood will not be a V8 of 4.0-liter volume, as many would have expected but an engine of 3.0-liter Twin Power-turbo that develops 326 horsepower. And if you ask why it was necessary to introduce a new version when already exist the 335i model with the same engine, then discover that the latter was removed from the list and replaced by the 340i one.
Thus is how the surplus of 20 horsepower (326 vs 306) led to a change of model.
