    Golden Steering Wheel goes to new BMW

    Hot on the heels of the announcement of the new BMW 320i as a 2012 South African Car of the Year Finalist, German magazines Auto Bild and Bild am Sonntag have awarded the sixth generation BMW 3 Series sports sedan with the coveted Golden Steering Wheel award.

    Hot on the heels of the announcement of the new BMW 320i as a 2012 South African Car of the Year Finalist, German magazines Auto Bild and Bild am Sonntag have awarded the sixth generation BMW 3 Series sports sedan with the coveted Golden Steering Wheel award.

    The Golden Steering Wheel is awarded each year to the most impressive new models on the automobile market. The selection procedure includes a readers' vote and assessment by a jury consisting of racing drivers, technicians, magazine editors and celebrity testers, who this year scrutinised a total of 44 candidates.

    The Golden Steering Wheel was awarded for the 37th time this year, making it one of the most tradition-steeped and renowned automobile prizes in Europe.

    The latest version of the sports sedan came out top among mid-range and top-range automobiles, thereby winning this important international automobile award for the fifth time in the history of the model.

    The new BMW 3 Series sedan has been on sale worldwide since February 2012 (and since March 2012 in South Africa) and offers not only impressive athletic flair and efficiency but also a level of ride comfort which has been further optimised as compared to its predecessor model – as well as increased space.

    The current model programme includes five petrol and five diesel engine versions as well as the BMW ActiveHybrid 3, which has just gone on sale in South Africa. The intelligent all-wheel drive system xDrive is available for four models. The new BMW 3 Series Touring has now also been launched.
