Recently updated on February 23, 2022 at 11:05 am

When it comes to illuminated vehicle parts, the automotive world knows hardly any borders. Once it was Unterbodenbeleuchtung, the masses of tuning fans enraptured, and now there are even illuminated LED exhaust pipesthat ensure that the exhaust gases glow in various colors at night. In view of the gimmicks of various tuning companies, BMW probably thought that the premium manufacturer would have to jump on the bandwagon, and is now bringing a special series of the 3 Series Gran Sedan, a BMW 3 Series with an extra-long wheelbase that is being built especially for India at the BMW plant in Chennai illuminated kidney grill which glows in a cool blue tone when the headlights are switched on. Now we are going to introduce you to this exclusive vehicle from BMW in more detail.

Simple elegance with a highlight!

The Indian market is becoming more and more important for the European premium manufacturers. This becomes particularly clear when you take a closer look at special series like this one we're introducing to you today. Like the Chinese long version of the BMW 3er (G28), the Indian version also offers princely space in the interior. That takes care of that Stretching by 110 mm compared to the short version, which increases the total length to 4,82 m and the wheelbase, for this class, is a gigantic 2,96 m.

The external length of the 3-series Gran Sedan is almost the same as that of the five-series BMW with a short wheelbase, and even exceeds it by a few centimeters in terms of the wheelbase. The highlight, however, is undoubtedly the already mentioned, illuminated kidney grille, which provides an extraordinary light effect, especially at night Iconic glow is called. It is also available for many other BMWs and even in Germany. We are pretty sure that various tuners will soon be offering similarly extraordinary lighting as an accessory for older BMW models.

From our point of view, the concept seems coherent and by no means exaggerated. Three different Exterior colors are available for the edition, namely Mineral White (White), Carbon Black (Black) and Cashmere Silver (Silver). This guarantees a bit of variety, and the customer has the opportunity to use the 3 Series Gran Limousine Iconic Edition to be configured according to taste.

Luxury as far as the eye can see in the interior.

As it should be for a special edition, you will be pampered as soon as you enter the interior. You let yourself fall into seats with the finest Vernasca leather are covered, and depending on the mood, is given the optimal ambient lighting, which is diverse in different Colors and brightness can be adjusted. The leather is in either Cognac or in black available. A Crystal selector lever for the automatic from the BMW Exclusive program is also on board, just like a large one Panoramic glass roof. There are also special ones to enable the rear passengers to sleep comfortably if necessary Pillow on the rear headrests. The driver's seat also has one hanger on the backrest so that the rear passengers can easily take off their coats after getting in.

Two engines are available for the special model.

The edition is available with either a 2-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine, the 258 PS and 400 Newtonmeter torque produced, or with a 2-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel that has it on 190 hp and also 400 Newton meters of maximum torque brings. The petrol engine sprints from 6,2 to 0 km / h in 100 seconds, while the diesel engine takes a long time longer for the same sprint with 7,6 seconds. As standard it is exclusively with rear-wheel drive available BMW to the well-known Eight-speed automatic coupled. From our point of view, however, the performance is sufficient, and even stressed managers who hurry from appointment to appointment make rapid progress.

Our Conclusion to the BMW 3 Series Gran Sedan Iconic Edition:

A noble sports sedan that knows how to shine with its full equipment and the extraordinary grill. The price is steep, however. Converted well 65.000 Euros costs the special edition in India, and thus the price level is in the range of the five-BMW.
