cusion the impact of any unsuspecting pedestrians that care to get in the way. With economy and emissions the automotive hot potato at the minute, we reckon BMW will be going to town with its EfficientDynamics in a bid to eek every last drop of hydrocarbons from your tank. A range of engines made up of entirely turbocharged units? That's the general consensus for the new 3 Series. And BMW is also expected to add a few three-pots to the 3 Series range. Well they say three is a magic number don't they? With the recent announcement of the Active Hybrid 5 (BMW's petrol/electric 5 Series-based hybrid) don't bet against there being a hybrid version of the new 3 Series either. It'll be difficult for BMW to better the current car but you'd be a fool to bet against them doing so -- the outgoing version unsurprisingly scored a maximum five stars in the Euro NCAP crash tests so expect the incoming model to be safe too. Prices haven't been announced yet but expect numbers to come tomorrow. The 3 Series saloon will hit UK shores early next year while a Touring version is set for a mid-2012 launch.
