The base BMW 3-Series model Corporate Edition (CE) can now be bought by individual owners for a mouth watering 23.95 Lakhs Ex-Showroom.
The CE model was previously was available only to fleet owners, hotels or corporates for which a minimum of three vehicles had to be ordered. The 3-Series CE for individuals esentially remains the same as the fleet edition except for the addition of semi-electric front seats (height and recline only).
Other omission when compared to the high end fully loaded 320d Highline include a single CD player, simple black trim for the dashboard instead of wood trimmings, fabric seats and no sunroof.
Power comes from a 2.0 Litre Common Rail Turbo Diesel engine developing a decent 130 bhp @ 4000 rpm and 350 nm of torque at a low 1750 rpm.
All these rather insignificant omissions aside, the 3-Series CE is a staggering Rs 10 Lakhs cheaper than the Highline variant making it super value for money. To give you an idea, the Automatic variant of the Camry is just 50,000 cheaper but comes with a gas guzzling petrol 2.4!
BMW will launch the Corporate Edition officially by next week but dealers have already started taking bookings.

When the 1 series came out, I did not like it. Maybe if it had been closer to what the 2002 was and was (much) lighter, less expensive, and had a really fantastic I4 (turboed or not, I don’t care) then I would prefer it better, but whatever. What bothered me much more was the unavoidable M unit that should practically be known as the M1. I thought that it just could not be right to do a comparison of the two M1s. However, since the 1 series first showed in the US, the M division has created 2 SUVs that don’t even come with a manual. The Porsche Cayenne has one, was it that hard? Anyways, times are changing so go on and call it an M1. Superior to turn out a really good, or perhaps superb, auto rather than not produce it at all just because a heap of fanboys may get wounded.
