Good materials, but could be more cleanly or more dramatically styled. |

Some past BMW sixes have been much prettier when undressed. |
|

BMW has long been known for its smooth, powerful inline sixes. The new one even excels at mpg. |
|

Largest trunk the the class. But no spare tire beneath its floor. |
|

The rear seat is a little roomier than the XE's, but I'd prefer a cushion higher off the floor. |
|

In the 3 you want the sport seats with their power-adjustable bolsters. |
|

Good ergonomics; iDrive is much more user-friendly than in early iterations. But smallish display? |
|

Jaguar's infotainment system remains a generation or two behind the curve in usability. |

Interior styling is also very BMW. The center stack cants slightly towards the driver. |
|

The XE's interior seems styled and finished to hit a lower price point. Underwhelming. |
|

More coupe-like roof line. But if you want swoopier styling than the 3, BMW also offers the 4. |

Classic BMW rear side window kink. |
|

The XE is 1.4 inches longer than the 3, yet somehow appears stubbier. |
|
2016 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Strong rear-wheel-drive proportions: long hood, front wheel well ahead of the door cut, short deck. |
|
2016 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
A definitely BMW influence, but trimmer and more athletic. |
|
2016 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Well-proportioned and classically attractive. But lacking in novelty or drama? |
|
2016 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Some complex surfacing, but with the tastefulness of pre-Bangle BMWs. |
|
2016 BMW 3-Series mkaresh Ten-Year Veteran |
Obviously a BMW. |
