For more than five decades, the BMW 3 Series has embodied driving pleasure with a clear sporting character, distinctive design and unrelenting technical progress. The result is a long and enduring story of success on which each new generation of the BMW 3 Series is duty-bound to build. Representing a technological leap forward, the new BMW 3 Series extends this story into a new era.
The first fully electric BMW 3 Series based on the Neue Klasse celebrates its premiere in the form of the new BMW i3. It refines the familiar character of the BMW 3 Series with the addition of standout new attributes. Two fully electric models will be available from launch. These will be joined by further new BMW 3 Series variants with highly efficient petrol engines and 48V mild hybrid technology. Taking to the stage as the most sporting member of the range, the new BMW M350 xDrive combines the allure of an M Performance model with the inimitable character of a BMW six-cylinder in-line engine. A plug-in hybrid drive variant (PHEV) will be added to the BMW 3 Series line-up over the coming year.
The drive system variants of the new BMW 3 Series highlight the BMW Group’s technology-open approach to impressive effect.
