Have you ever wondered how the new F30 BMW 3 Series evolved from the previous generation E90? A Youtube video showcases the two vehicles side-by-side and compare the dimensions of the two 3 Series generations.

The sixth generation of the 3 Series has grown moderately in size compared to its predecessor, with its wide track (front + 37 mm/1.46 in., rear + 47 mm/1.85 in.) particularly prominent, and the car’s length (+ 93 mm/3.66 in.) and wheelbase (+ 50 mm/1.96 in.) also accentuates its sporting allure. The car’s larger dimensions ensure rear passengers are welcomed by 0.71 in. /18 mm of extra legroom inside the doors as they climb aboard. Behind the fully contoured front seats, 0.6 in / 15 mm of additional knee room and 0.31in. / 8 mm of extra headroom further enhance the passengers’ comfort on the road. Despite the large dimension, the F30 3 Series is around 90 lbs lighter than the E90 platform. Let’s have a look.
