BMW 3 SERIES

If you think BMW's new 3 series coupe doesn't quite cut it, try this

BMW's new 3 Series Coupe not aggressive enough for you? If not, perhaps the new M Sports package just announced for the slinky two-door BMW might just do the trick.

With its asymmetrical 18-inch wheel-tyre combination using 8J x 18 'star spoke' alloys wearing 225/40R18 tyres at the front, and 8.5J x 18 wheels with 255/35R18 tyres at the rear, M Sports suspension that drops the ride height by 15mm, along with an aerodynamics package including a front end with attitude, M side skirts and a new rear bumper panel, the Sports package gives the coupe a real visual workover as well as tighter, tauter handling.

Driver and front-seat passenger also revel in grippy sports seats, while the ambience is complimented by an M leather steering wheel, 'Sportshifter' steering wheel an a leather-lined 'Aero' leather handbrake grip.

The interior also gains 'Aluminium Glacier' trim finish, M door sills and anthracite roof lining from BMW Individual.

Colours for the M Sport package coupe include two non-metallics -- Alpine White and Crimson Red -- while optional metallics include Titanium Silver, Black Sapphire, Sparkling Graphite and an exclusive, M-pack-only Le Mans Blue.
