BMW cars in India (22)

Between the three options you've considered, we'd advise picking between the Kawasaki Versys 1100 and the BMW R 1300 GS Adventure. These are powerful, comfortable, refined long-distance touring machines which will serve you well, although neither is going to be affordable to maintain. 

The BMW S 1000 XR is a sportbike on stilts, and the 1000cc four-cylinder engine from BMW isn't the smoothest motor, so we'd advise you to look elsewhere. 

If you're open to looking outside the ADV bike spectrum, the Ninja 1100SX makes a solid case as a road-going touring bike as long as you're mindful of the ground clearance over bad roads. 

And if you're not hung up on having a '1000cc+' bike only, the Honda XL750 Transalp is a wonderful road-touring machine. It is friendly, approachable, refined and will be by far the most affordable to buy (even if you put the Africa Twin's tubeless rims, extra luggage and protective accessories) and maintain of the lot. 

Try to take test rides of all the bikes listed here before making a decision. 

The BMW 330Li would be a good option to consider in this price point. It has a refined and powerful six-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that offers an excellent driving experience, but at the same time, the long wheelbase allows it to have fantastic legroom at the rear. 

If you want to be chauffeur-driven but also enjoy driving by yourself, the 330Li will offer the best of both worlds. 

You will not find many used BMW and Audi cars (hatchbacks) in India because very few were ever sold.
BMW did offer the 1 Series hatchback for a short time, but the numbers were still limited.

Instead, it’s better to explore their small SUVs like the Audi Q3 and the BMW X1. If you are open to Mercedes-Benz cars, you can also check the A-Class or B-Class hatchbacks, though these too are rare, or consider the Mercedes GLA. 

When buying a premium used car, though, make sure you buy from the brand itself, as they all have an approved used program. You can also buy one from a very reputable reseller, and if things go wrong, it can be very expensive to fix. 

Since you are used to a BMW, you won't find the same driving pleasure in other brands. 
The BMW 330Li M Sport Pro is a superb option that has an excellent balance of driving dynamics with rear seat comfort. The long-wheelbase allows it to have a roomy rear seat, and the 3.0-litre straight-six engine is powerful and exciting as well. If you don't want an SUV, there is no better option than the 330Li.
