Sachin Tendulkar unveils the new 3-Series in India

Just three days back, we had reported that the God of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar could become BMW India's first-ever brand ambassador and the same could be made official at the launch event of the 2012 BMW 3-Series sedan in Mumbai that got underway today afternoon. There were reports, suggesting that the deal could be inked ahead of the new 3-Series arrival in the Indian market. 

Much to our dissappointment no such announcement was made today at the launch event held in Mumbai. However, as promised the legendary sportsperson, Sachin Tendular was indeed present at the venue and unveiled the all-new 2012 BMW 3-Series along with BMW India president, Dr Andreas Schaaf.

The 2012 BMW 3-Series was launched today at Rs 28.90 lakh. (ex-showroom, Mumbai) and will be offered in both petrol and diesel variant. Keeping in mind, the increased demand for diesel powered cars, BWM has introduced the diesel variant in four trim levels - BMW 320d,  BMW 320d Sports Line, BMW 320d Luxury Line and BMW 320d Luxury Plus. The petrol variant however, will only be available in one trim level, i.e. BMW 328i Sports Line.
