Hence, the arrival of this new 3-Series in Britain. In terms of design, BMW has played it safe. The most obvious changes are at the front, where the bumper and headlights are new. On top of this, the bonnet has a pair of creases running from either side of the BMW badge back to the windscreen. At the rear, there’s a new bumper and a remodelled bootlid. The tail-lights now include LED indicators and there is a wide range of new wheel designs.These aren’t major alterations, but together they give the BMW a sportier appearance. Mind you, that’s perfectly appropriate, as the 3-Series always was the driving enthusiast’s choice in its class – and nothing has changed here. As soon as you hit the road, this couldn’t be more obvious. There’s something delightfully positive and direct about the controls, whether it’s the accelerator, brakes or steering. As soon as you tell the car to do something, it does it, and you get exactly the kind of feedback you want. It’s the same story with the suspension, which never feels anything other than totally composed. Through a series of bends, gentle turns of the steering wheel put the car’s nose exactly where you want it, and the balanced handling keeps everything under control as you flow from one corner to the next. If there is a complaint, it’s that such sharp handling and composure come at the expense of comfort. There’s a firm edge to the ride about town, and although you feel larger bumps at higher speeds, it’s never truly uncomfortable. And given the superb handling, we’re sure it’s a price most drivers will be happy to pay.Also unchanged in the facelift is the 2.0-litre diesel engine that powers the 320d. And, given its great blend of strengths – 0-62mph in less than eight seconds, impressive flexibility and average economy of nearly 60mpg – there’s no doubt this remains our favourite 3-Series. That’s especially true given how comfortable and refined it is inside, with only a little wind noise at motorway speeds. However, you only notice that because everything else is so quiet, and you can soon drown it out with the stereo. Best of all, the optional iDrive system has been much improved: it’s easier to use and has clear graphics, rounding off a truly superb package.

Now it has sharper looks to complement this. And with EfficientDynamics technology boosting economy and dropping emissions, the 3-Series still makes a compelling case for itself, whether you’re running it privately or as a company car.

Ford's family hatch has already slipped behind the BMW 3-Series in the sales charts, and the latest incentive from the German marque looks set to pull it further ahead of the one-time fleet favourite. The 3-Series ES is a special edition, available for a limited period and aimed at the blue oval's jugular by offering a generous amount of standard kit, plus a free servicing package. Auto Express Car Reviews By Craig CheethamApril 2003 Mondeo man is about to get carved up. Ford's family hatch has already slipped behind the BMW 3-Series in the sales charts, and the latest incentive from the German marque looks set to pull it further ahead of the one-time fleet favourite. The 3-Series ES is a special edition, available for a limited period and aimed at the blue oval's jugular by offering a generous amount of standard kit, plus a free servicing package. Based on the entry-level 320d, the ES features 16-inch alloy wheels plus sports suspension, a CD player, an M-Pack leather steering wheel and a sports gearknob over the usual trim. But that's not all. It also has an interior storage package, consisting of armrest cubbies and under-seat sliding shelves. Yet at ΂£20,995, it costs ΂£650 less than the car on which it is modelled - and that's without all the trimmings. Add those, and you're looking at a saving of nearly ΂£2,400 - although we think extras such as front foglights, Dynamic Stability Control and a sunroof would have been more useful than the interior upgrades chosen. But there are even more temptations laid on by the manufacturer. If you buy a 320d ES before the end of June, BMW will give you three years' free main dealer servicing on top of its standard unlimited-mileage warranty. The overall result of these benefits is an attractive package that is sure to appeal to cost-conscious drivers. Yet is the ES convincing enough to lure buyers away from more traditional and established family favourites? The logic behind BMW's plan can't be faulted. Thanks largely to its traditionally strong residual values, the 3-Series works out a whole 10 pence per mile cheaper to run over its first three years than an equivalent Mondeo - and that's before the cost-free servicing package is taken into account. On top of that, the 320d is a fine machine to drive. The previous 2.0 diesel felt rather slow and cumbersome compared with petrol-powered versions of the 3-Series. But the latest incarnation - revised last year - is a real driver's car. It's quick, responsive and benefits from reassuring roadholding, while the sports suspension fitted to the ES gives the handling a further edge. In-gear acceleration is impressive, and the car cruises in near-silence at motorway speeds. As with all 3-Series models, the gearbox, brakes and steering are superb, although the pedals are offset to the right and take some getting used to. Low CO2 emissions will please fleet buyers, while fuel economy is thrifty, even when the car is driven hard. BMW dealers are keen to do business on diesels as the company tries to raise the profile of its oil-burners, so be on the lookout for discounts and tempting PCP deals, which may be cheaper than less prestigious brands can offer. Our few criticisms of the ES concern the interior. With a single-slot CD player and blanking switches, the cabin can't hide the fact that it's been created from an entry-level model. What's more, the standard Anthracite trim and headlining give the passenger area a gloomy feel, while the cloth on the seat facings is coarse and feels out of sorts with BMW's upmarket image. Still, with the money you've saved on servicing, you could always specify leather trim. And that, in addition to improving the car's aesthetic appeal, would make it a highly desirable proposition on the second-hand market...

The 320d ES combines style, quality and prestige with genuine value. But the blue propellor has to be careful not to cheapen its image. If resale prices and the firm's reputation take a knock as a result, it could have far-reaching consequences.
