2018 BMW 3 Series pricing and specs: New equipment, price bumps

Pricing and equipment for the updated 2018 BMW 3 Series range have been announced this week, before the refreshed line-up arrives in local showrooms from November.

Headlining changes include the addition of a bright new Sunset Orange metallic exterior paint, along with updated alloy wheel designs and the standard fitment of BMW’s iDrive 6 infotainment system across the range.

Starting at $57,300 before on-road costs for the entry-level 318i, the 3 Series range kicks off $800 dearer than before, with the wider range up in price by around $1000 to $2000 depending on variant.

Features include the Sport Line styling package as standard, with a new 18-inch double-spoke light alloy wheel with Jet Black accents now available as a no-cost option.

The 318i, 320i, 330i and 330e all get the Sport Line pack included, while the range-topping 340i comes with either the Luxury Line or M Sport packages at no extra cost. Buyers of the 330i and 330e can also opt for the Luxury Line free of charge.

M Sport package buyers also have the choice of a new cost-option 19-inch bi-colour alloy wheel finished with Orbit Grey as the prominent colour.

The flagship 340i, meanwhile, gets fixed-ratio power steering in line with the rest of the range based on customer feedback. Customers who still want the Variable Sports Steering that was previously equipped to the 340i can add the system as an option.

Like the updated 1 Series and 4 Series before it, the new 3 Series range gets the company’s new iDrive 6 infotainment system as standard, too.

In the 318i, 320i and 320d, the software is integrated into the 6.5-inch Navigation System Business central display, while higher-spec models get a larger 8.8-inch Navigation Professional colour touchscreen.

There’s also the option of the multi-function digital driver’s display across the range, which adapts the interface according to the selected driver mode.

Updated trim choices for the interior are now available, too, including a double-stitched instrument panel, a new Cognac colour for the Dakota leather upholstery, along with a dark aluminium carbon insert with pearl chrome highlights which is available equipped with the M Sport package.

Other options include the Innovations Package, which is available across the range and brings tailored equipment depending on the variant.

For the 318i, the pack adds Navigation System Professional, parking assistant, extended smartphone connectivity and the multi-function digital driver’s display.

The 320i and 320d Innovations Package extends that further with adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function.

For the 330i, additional equipment includes all the above equipment minus Navigation System Professional, as it already gets the upgraded display as standard. Meanwhile the 330e swaps out the multi-function display for a specific instrument set that integrates with its plug-in hybrid (PHEV) system.

The updated BMW 3 Series range is available to order now, with first deliveries arriving in November.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

2023 LDV T60 Max price and specs: Prices up by more than $4000

The LDV T60 has been hit with its second major price rise in 12 months to account for new equipment – but the ute still lacks key advanced safety tech. 2023 LDV T60 Max pricing and specifications New equipment for Pro and Luxe grades Only top 10 dual-cab ute without auto emergency braking Priced from $38,990 drive-away for ABN holders 2023 LDV T60 Max Luxe The updated 2023 LDV T60 Max has arrived in Australia with a $4000 price rise and some equipment upgrades – but it still lacks advanced safety technology which is standard in its rivals. LDV Australia has announced the T60 Max 4×4 ute has undergone a handful of tweaks for 2023 after its major facelift (and $5000 price hike) last year – resulting in a price increase of $4000 across the range for buyers with an ABN. But Australia’s ninth best-selling ute continues to forgo advanced safety tech such as forward collision warning, blind-spot monitoring and autonomous emergency braking – making the T60 the the only du...
