'Three series’. It’s not the most inspiring name for a car. And finding travel inspiration in such a digit is a tricky task, too. But you can find place names with ‘three’ in them.
Cross the Channel and you’ll find Troisvillers in France and Tresjuncos in Spain, which is where we’ll head to via Sussex’s Three Cups Corner in a quest to put some serious miles beneath the wheels of the 320d that will be the best-selling Three in the UK.

The car in question is a BMW 320d sprayed a rather alluring Melbourne Red. It rides on optional 18in double-spoke alloy wheels and bears the hallmarks of the new Sport trim pack that first appeared on the latest 1-series.

Nice roads. And if you do a mistake of judgement, the cimetery is close.
