    2023 BMW 3 Series

    The 2023 3 Series had its clearest appeal where driver engagement, prestige, cabin technology and a broad spread from sensible executive transport to serious performance outweighed novelty. That year, the public sales record shows 3,147 Australian deliveries. That made it relevant to shoppers who still wanted a low-slung premium car instead of a compact luxury SUV. The showroom context is simple: the BMW 3 Series has long been lauded as the benchmark luxury sports sedan, but as the buying population continue to gravitate more and more into SUVs, it’s becoming a rarer sight these days. Common comparison points were Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Audi A4 and Genesis G70.
