BMW 3-Series: an all-round favourite
The BMW 3-series, once the car every junior business executive and sales rep aspired to drive, has suddenly become the obvious choice for aspiring small executive saloon car drivers.
The 3-Series has been the most popular car in its class in terms of sales, and the 7th most popular car in Britain overall. And with the extra affordability available now via one of many BMW 3-Series hire purchase deals, it’s a great time to jump in and enjoy one of the finest all-round cars on sale today.
The latest version of the 3-Series, launched in 05/06, even outsold the Ford Mondeo, which – thanks to its cheaper price and all-round talent – has traditionally been king of the hill. Of course, the 3-series costs more than the Mondeo, but don’t let this put you off, as there are plenty of BMW 3-Series leasing options available to help drivers get behind the wheel.
If you’re considering a BMW 3-Series finance plan, you’ll have to make a decision on the spec and body of your new car. It’s available in a number of styles; including coupe, convertible, estate and saloon versions, with an abundance of different engines and specs.
Taking into consideration the extra economy provided by a BMW 3-Series hire purchase deal, we would recommend the 330D. This model boats a 6-cylinder turbo diesel engine with fantastic power and technology, which allows for thrifty fuel consumption as well as quite remarkable speed. Spec this to SE (Special Equipment) levels, with leather and a great stereo, and you have a brilliantly attractive and versatile car.
If you’re looking for something with a bit more poke, you should consider a BMW 3-series finance plan for the ‘M’ version (Motorsport). The iconic BMW M3 currently comes with a V8 engine and can perform the sprint to 60mph in well under 5 seconds.
BMW 3-Series: a motoring staple
The BMW 3-series needs no introduction in the UK. Currently the most successful car in the most popular class of cars on sale in the UK, BMW’s omni-present 3-series is entering its 37th year of production and is currently in its 5th iteration.
BMW has plans for another new model next year as well, so clearly the 3-series will be gracing our roads for years to come. If you’re considering ownership via a BMW 3-series leasing route, now is a great time, as BMW produce their best ‘run-out’ models of the current generation car.
BMW 3-series hire purchase deals are massively popular in the UK, which is nicely illustrated by the fact that the 3-series recently replaced Ford’s Mondeo as the most popular car on sale today.
This has helped to fuel the rise and rise of BMW and, following years of significant re-investment, research and development, your new BMW 3-series finance plan will get you one of the most refined, well built and stylish 3-series models BMW has ever made.
So, you know BMW 3-series finance plans are popular, but why? Well, besides the 3-series being the latest version of a long line from BMW, much of its popularity stems from the way it drives. Being rear wheel drive, as all BMW’s are, it is the right set-up for sporty driving and brings excellent feel to the driver via the steering wheel and seat. The driving position is about as perfect as could be, and the materials used for the interior are all soft, cosseting and simply scream quality.
With regard to design, if you decide on a BMW 3-series hire purchase deal, you’ll almost certainly get the impression that the car is an evolved product, rather than a revolutionary vehicle. You can tell that the 3-series has developed from initial designs from 40 years ago, as it has a uniquely mature style.
The 3-series’ aggressive lines and low stance give it an air of purpose – and as long as you you’re not too bothered by the intermittently harsh ride, particularly on the M-sport suspension, then you’ll be more than happy with your new BMW.
