"The all-new BMW 3 Series is a vehicle that has an unbeatable profile and is born from pioneering technology, a beautiful design and a lot of passion," BMW Group India president Andreas Schaaf said at the launch.

The new BMW 3 Series will establish a new benchmark in the Indian luxury car segment and contribute to BMW's winning streak in India, he said adding that BMW enjoys 40 market share in the luxury car segment in the country.

He said the slow down in the economy has affected the sales as the year-on-year growth remains almost the same (flat).
Schaff, however, said that a (interest) rate cut by the central bank could perk up the demand going forward. The company's June sales stood at 750 units.

He said that the company has lined up four more launches for this year.

"We will see the brand new six series Coupe, one of the most beautiful cars BMW has come up with in last 15 years. It's almost a sports sedan. We will see the new refreshment of seven series. It will also be launched in second half of the year. Will also launch the X1 and X6 in new looks.

These four major launches will come up in the next 4-5 months in India," he said.

Stating that BMW cars have been one of his passions from early days, Tendulkar said, "I drove this car this month in London. It felt incredible."

"To me above all being a car enthusiast, safety is also equally important. I am really impressed. It is absolutely stunning and the interiors are unbelievable. It has got a lot of space. Compared to the earlier ones, this is far more spacious," Tendulkar added.
