More Advanced Than The Competition

The 2019 BMW 3 Series is the smaller vehicle, but that doesn't mean it doesn't provide a comfortable and spacious ride. Seating 5 adult passengers comfortably, the interior cabin features several upscale and high-quality materials fit for a luxury small car. A high-class interior is an attribute shared with the 2019 3 Series' bigger sibling, the 2019 5 Series, which also offers a spacious and deluxe cabin.

Despite being a smaller sedan, the 2019 3 Series offers tremendous cargo space. When you open up the trunk, you'll discover up to 16.9 cubic feet of cargo space. This outpaces many rivals within the class, and it's a standout feature for the BMW 3 Series. Even as a midsize luxury sedan, the 2019 5 Series stands tall above the competition with 18.7 cubic feet of cargo space. Whether you're heading out to the beach for the weekend or you're gearing up for a long drive, find the cargo space you need in the new 2019 5 Series.

Both models feature the iDrive infotainment system and its intuitive menus hosted on touchscreen displays. The 3 Series sedan comes standard with an 8.8-inch touchscreen display while the 5 Series offers a standard 10.2-inch touchscreen. Both vehicles offer advanced BMW technology such as Gesture Control and the Intelligent Personal Assistant for enhanced voice commands.
