It's pretty difficult to nail down the top features of the BMW 3 Series, as the range includes so many varied models. One thing you can be sure of if you choose a car from this collection, though, is that it will be a high-quality vehicle.
BMW has long had a reputation for manufacturing comfortable, high-end autos, and the prestige associated with the brand makes it a favourite for businesspeople looking for a company car that will maintain their professional image.
One of the best ways to get behind the wheel of a top-quality car like a 3 Series is to lease one from a respected company like Listers Group, where you can choose from a host of models - even ones that would be out of your price range if you decided to buy.
Here are just a few of the reasons the 3 Series collection of cars particularly stands out.
Safety
Even if it's not the first thing you think about when you're looking for a new auto, we all want to feel safe when we're driving. You'll have no worries on this front with a BMW 3 Series, as the vehicles have a five-star rating from Euro NCAP - an independent organisation that tests cars to check how much protection they offer the driver, passengers and children, in addition to the likelihood of a pedestrian suffering a serious injury if they are hit by one of the cars.
In its most recent round of testing, the BMW 3 Series came out with a safety score of 95 per cent for an adult occupant, and 84 per cent for a child travelling in the vehicle.
Modern technology
All the vehicles in the BMW 3 Series range come with a host of features designed to make your life easier and ensure you have a pleasant driving experience. Bluetooth hands-free technology with a USB interface is included as standard, while an onboard computer to show you figures such as your average speed, fuel consumption and outside temperature is fitted in the dashboard.
You'll also find at least one 12 volt power socket within the car, so you can charge any electrical devices you may need for your next business meeting while you're on the go.
A selection of advanced safety features are also included as standard in 3 Series models, including a tyre puncture warning system, a brake pad wear indicator and a park distance control system for the rear of the auto.
Appearance
While not a feature as such, the design of the BMW 3 Series models certainly makes them stand out. Each of the cars in this range has sleek lines and is unmistakably part of the German automaker's collection.
The two front grilles with the distinctive badge in the centre, as well as the tapered headlights, are all to be expected on a BMW, and they are part of what gives the vehicles their recognisable appearance.
Of course, if you're using your motor for business purposes, it is important to come across as professional when you're visiting clients or attending meetings, which is another reason why a BMW 3 Series can be an excellent choice for a company car.
