Many of you seem to forget that the 3er's no 1 market Germany and indeed the rest of europe buy their 3er's with the most basic specification.
And even the most basic engine option.

You always ask? Why can the 1er or 320d not come to America?
Because at the Price BMW need to make the car competitive - US BMW buyers will not buy a 1er or 3er in it's most basic form. The Perceptions of BMW in Europe and the US are very different. US buyers would not welcome a base 320d when they have come to accept that BMW is a premium luxury brand.
