Pros and Cons

Pros
Cons

BMW 3 Series

Styling. Low, sporty and all things fun! M Sport variant looks delicious.
Punchy engines. Pick the petrol or the diesel, both promise to please with performance.
Quality. Interior now feels like a scaled-down 5 Series in earnest.

Mahindra Bolero

Tough built quality. Hard to damage.
Built to take punishment
Ride quality soft to suit no road conditions

BMW 3 Series

Silly feature omissions: 360° camera, keyless entry, Android Auto - all missing.
Low seating and tight kneeroom means it’s less than ideal for the chauffeur-driven.
Most of the 480-litre boot is taken up by the spare wheel.

Mahindra Bolero

Noisy cabin
Utilitarian layout
Bare bone features
