2012 BMW 3-Series to start at $35,900 in Canada

The fully redesigned BMW 3-Series will start at $35,900 in Canada. That gets you into a 320i, which shares the same (albeit detuned) 4-cylinder engine as the new BMW 328i.

The current 323i starts at $34,900, but BMW is including a lot more standard equipment for the extra $1000. Power output for the 320i is 181hp (down 19hp from current) but torque is up slightly at 184 lb/ft. The best part is that fuel efficiency increases by nearly 30% and BMW claims the new 320i offers similar performance as the current generation 328i.

More information after the jump.

Here’s the 3er line-up for 2012:
  • 320i – $35,900
  • 328i – $43,600
  • 335i – $51,200

Pricing for the 328i increases $2,100 but it includes significantly more equipment, such as 18” alloy wheels, Dakota leather upholstery, 8-speed automatic transmission, iDrive display and much more. A 6-speed manual transmission will be available.

Pricing for the 2012 335i has been reduced by $200 and like the rest of the line-up it includes more equipment than last year.

Looks like they have pulled it more in-line with the C-Class styling wise. Not great news for MB.
