Latest Updates

Thursday, 30 May 2024 10:32 AM In some markets, BMW has discontinued the diesel variants of the 3 Series, but in India, the 320d Prestige (Diesel) is expected to continue. The diesel engine in the 320d remains a popular choice due to its fuel efficiency and torque. I believe this decision will help BMW maintain its market share in the diesel segment.

Wednesday, 29 May 2024 09:22 PM BMW has announced that the production of the updated 3 Series, including the 320d Prestige (Diesel), will begin in July 2024.
