    What other cars should you look at?

    The BMW 3 Series has a number of competitors because the 3er spans from a turbocharged four-cylinder, a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain and a turbocharged inline-six engine with all-wheel drive.

    The most obvious choice is the Mercedes-Benz C-Class which offers similarly specced vehicles.

    The new-generation C-Class recently launched in Australia and looks like a shrunken S-Class. They both offer high-end, premium-looking interiors though with elements of soft-touch materials and metal accents.

    Option lists on both the 3er and C-Class are quite extensive and can get expensive your get trigger happy.

    The 3 Series also gets cross-shopped with the Audi A4 and Genesis G70, as well as highly-specced Mazda 6 and Hyundai Sonata models.

    High-performance M340i xDrive models compete against the Mercedes-Benz C43 and the Audi S4.
