BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine Pre-Launch Bookings To Begin Soon: Exclusive Early-Bird Benefits Offered

The German carmaker has stated they will be providing early-bird benefits, with customers being able to book their 3 Series GL saloon for just Rs 50,000.

BMW also stated that the first 50 customers booking the saloon, before 12 noon of the 21st of January will also receive a complimentary 'Comfort package' worth Rs 1 lakh, with their 3 Series Gran Limousine. This package includes an iPad, an iPad holder and a coat hanger.

Scheduled to go on sale on the 21st of January 2021, the new BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine packs a number of features, equipment, connected tech and strong performing engine options. Once launched in India, the new BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine will be the longest entry-level luxury saloon in the Indian market.

The new Gran Limousine model will carry forward the same design, both on its exterior and interior, as its standard model. However, the longer wheelbase does ensure a more spacious and premium cabin feel.

Features, both on the outside and inside will remain identical to the standard model. This includes LED headlamp with integrated LED DRLs, large piano-black finish kidney grille, LED tail lights, electric sunroof, 10.25-inch infotainment system with BMW iDrive, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, multi-zone climate control, ambient lighting and a host of others.

Mechanically, the new BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine is expected to feature both 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engine options. The 2.0-litre petrol produces 255bhp and 400Nm of peak torque, while the diesel engine churns out 188bhp and 400Nm of peak torque. Both engines come mated to a standard eight-speed automatic transmission unit.

Thoughts On The New BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine

The new BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine will be positioned above the standard model, even in terms of pricing. It will, however, take on the same rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 and the Jaguar XE.
