BMW 3 Series Mileage
₹60.60 Lakh to ₹77.10 Lakhex-showroom
Fuel economy splits clearly by engine on the 3 Series. The 320Ld diesel leads at 19.61 kmpl, helped by its strong low end torque. The 330Li petrol returns 15.39 kmpl. The six cylinder M340i is the thirstiest at 13.02 kmpl, which is expected for its power. These are ARAI ratings, so city use will read lower. Tie each figure to its variant and check what that version costs.
