The Bavarians have introduced the more accessible BMW 320d Sport variant of the popular sport-luxury sedan, at Rs 42.10 lakh (ex-showroom).
The new BMW 320d Sport packs the 2.0-litre, in-line four, turbo-diesel engine with 190 hp at 4,000 rpm and 400 Nm peaking between 1,750-2,500 rpm, with an eight-speed Sports automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. The equipment list also includes gear-shift paddles on the steering wheel, Drive Experience Control with Comfort, Eco Pro, Sport and Sport+ drive modes, and launch control. It will dismiss zero to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds and get up to a top speed of 243 km/h. The rated efficiency is 20.37 km/l with 130 g/km of CO2.

In terms of equipment, the Sport trim gets the BMW Individual Exterior Line in satin aluminium, LED headlamps and tail-lamps, 17-inch wheels, now in a V-spoke pattern, wrapped in 225/50 rubber. Inside, Sensotec upholstery and trim replaces the leather from the Luxury line model, with black high-gloss trim, and the BMW Live Cockpit and its 8.8-inch screen taking centre stage. It packs all essential safety kit including ABS with brake assist, traction control, stability control, cruise control with braking, rain-sensing wipers, as well as three-zone automatic climate control, and a sunroof. However, Apple CarPlay, the ambient light with the signature Welcome Carpet, and the Parking Assistant skip the equipment list.
The BMW 320d Sport joins the line-up alongside the Luxury Line that is priced at Rs 47.50 lakh, and the two petrol choices, the 330i Sport and M Sport trims, priced at Rs 41.70 lakh and Rs 48.50 lakh respectively.
