Certified CenterThe New Year is here, and oh wow does BMW have a lot in store for 2019. The all new BMW 3 Series hopes to keep the legendary sedan pushing forward into the future. The online configurator is now live on the BMW NA site: https://www.bmwusa.com/byo.html#!/model-variant-selector/3-series-sedan .
This new 3 series is available initially as a 330i and 330i xDrive only. More variants will arise with time.
There’s
been a lot of anticipation floating around about how this new iteration will be
received. Hopefully some of that anticipation will be alleviated by allowing us
to configure custom builds to see what
we can generally expect to see on the lot. There are plenty of packages and
color options. Let’s dive into
an example of what I would choose!
First
off, I would most likely stick with Sport Line. I love the looks of M Sport and
the Luxury Line, but I prefer a more understated appearance. I would most
likely also go for Mineral Grey Metallic as my choice of paint color. I like
having a darker color that doesn’t show a lot of dirt. Glacier Silver Metallic
also looks very good and would be a close second for me. I would keep the
standard 18” wheels (Style 780) that come with it. Those same wheels are also
available with a non run-flat option with an included spare tire for an
additional $150. I actually like the convenience of having run-flat tires. I
know some
people didn’t like the feel of them when they first came out, but the tire
manufacturers and BMW have
learned a lot and have mastered the ability to maintain the comfortable ride
associated with them.
For packages, it would be hard to pass up on the Convenience Package and Premium Package. Lumbar support, Comfort Access, Navigation, Head-up Display, Live Cockpit Pro, and the Connected Package Pro are must haves for a tech oriented guy such as myself. The Connected Package Pro includes features such as Real Time Traffic, On-Street Parking (where available), Hazard Preview, BMW Remote Services including Stolen Vehicle Recovery, BMW Connected App, and Concierge Services. The LED Headlights with Cornering Lights would definitely help on the roads near where I live where deer could jump out 5 feet from the road at any moment.
For the stand alone options, I would most certainly get the Remote Engine Start, Wireless Charging and WiFi Hotspot, Harman Kardon surround sound system, and Park Distance Control. Even with how quickly the heated seats and steering wheel heat up, Remote Start on a car in the winter can be a lifesaver! Wireless charging is everywhere now, so why not the car too? The WiFi Hotspot may prove useful on longer trips as well. The base audio system is quite good out of the box, but I am a bit of an audiophile. Have the ability to customize the EQ and have surround sound is nice for certain songs or albums. Most people probably don’t need that. Park Distance Control is also a huge benefit when it comes to parking is tight spaces, which happens far too often!
