We Look At The 1997 BMW 3-Series

With a target of aged thirty to fifty five and Women the 1997 3-Series has its work cut out for it in the 4-door Sub-Compact Passenger Car segment. It was very obvious 18 to 35 year old men are the target market. Notwithstanding it's the most well-situated of the 4-door Sub-Compact Passenger Car to drive on an everyday basis, the 1997 BMW 3-Series loses some points for its mediocre acceleration and neglected safety features.

City driving yields 20 per gallon efficiency while Highway MPG drops to 29.

Updated Interior Styling

This model has much better in its internal coming for this vehicle year. It may be a 4-door Sub-Compact Passenger Car, other than the 3-Series's interior feels downright cavernous front and rear. The upgraded radio was a welcome feature to some new buyers, but an expensive option to others. Time will tell whether it gains widespread acceptence.

Further facilitate give headroom and a little of cargo room to an internal that hitherto received high marks from us. Up front, the gauge gathering and other instrument cluster details are evidently intended to be inspired by BMW's past.
