by Brian Byrne. The second model variant of the new BMW 3 Series range — the Touring — will go on sale in Ireland in September.
Internally and externally the new 3 Series Touring is larger than its predecessor. In load capacity terms the new car has 460 litres with the rear seats in place and 1,385 litres with the 60:40 split seats folded.
Two engine variants will be available at launch, the 2-litre diesel 320d Touring and the new magnesium-alloy engined six-cylinder 325i Touring, with 320i, 330i and 330d engine variants becoming available later.
