BMW 3 series scoops award
Jun 2 2009The BMW 3 series has won a major award in the fleet world, demonstrating its reliability and success in the sector.
It has been named Best Fleet Car 2009 in the annual Fleet World Honours, beating off competition from the likes of AUDI and Mercedes.
"Many fleet drivers will see the BMW badge as reason enough to request a 3 series, but fleet managers will also be aware that running costs and specifications are as good and often better than many of its competitors," said George Emmerson, chairman of the judges.
Ken Rogers, editor of Fleet World magazine, added: "The current 3 series is still the car that is aspired to above all others in the company car market. Not only is it a beautifully engineered product, it is one of the most satisfying and refined driver's cars on the market."
The award could encourage more people looking for used cars to search out a BMW 3 series, which is the company's biggest selling model range.
In May, BMW unveiled its new 5 series Gran Turismo, which it claimed provided a variety of innovative packaging features for a premium car.
