However, changes will undergo not only the appearance of automobile, but also technical component. Besides the new motors (about them only later) in BMW of a 3- series of 2002 model years there will be another suspension. Engineers BMW very painfully perceived criticism from the side of a number of buyers and press, about the fact that last "three rubles" (it is let out since 1998) the part of its sport nature lost and it became excessively comfortable.

compartment it is sharply allotted against the general background),
but on the fundamental new generation of a 3- series, which will
appear in two years, they will become more expressed.
