Modesto, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/23/2012 -- Valley BMW in Modesto is excited to announce the arrival of the redesigned 2012 BMW 3 Series sedan. Already named the world’s best-selling premium vehicle, the new 3 Series adds a sporty look to compliment its bold features.

The new 3 Series design has increased in size, adding length as well as width to its track. This addition in size has made this already comfortable car even more comfortable for backseat passengers. In addition to the increase in size, BMW has also upgraded the front of the car with a kidney grille connected to the headlights. With ascending lines on the side, the 3 Series Sedan appears to always be in motion, giving it a sports car look. In addition, the new 3 Series gets added elegance thanks to the curving roof and flat rear window.

The driver is the highlight of the new 3 Series Sedan. With an easy-to-navigate instrument panel and a flowing grain panel, the driver’s side is what is most noticeable about the new interior. The new high-resolution iDrive flat screen monitor is large and placed strategically in easy view for the driver, with the iDrive control located in the middle of the center console for effortless navigation. The new iDrive design helps eliminate as many driver distractions as possible, adding to the sedan’s safety.

Multiple other features come standard on the 3 Series Sedan. BMW offers not just one rearview camera, but up to five in order to give a view of any possible situation. Along with the cameras, Park Assist, real time traffic information, a navigation system, and contact-less trunk opening are also available.

BMW didn’t compromise safety for style, luxury, and convenience. In fact, safety has improved with the 2012 3 Series. Implementing Lane Change Warning System and traffic sign recognition, this new BMW keeps the driver one-step ahead. The highly effective restraint and suspension systems are not to be overlooked; in the case of a crash these systems are most advantageous in the protection of any passenger in the car.
