BMW reinvents the 3 Series for the Neue Klasse era, giving its sports sedan a radical transformation from the G20 to the G50 while aligning the gas-powered car with the electric i3.
For the first time since 1985, BMW is selling the 3 Series without a diesel engine. The new sports sedan will be offered with gas engines and a plug-in hybrid powertrain, alongside the fully electric i3.
The M340i successor gains 69 hp, standard adaptive M suspension, and a drift mode arriving via update.
At long last, we finally know when the wraps are coming off the 3 Series G50. Depending on where you live, the reveal actually happens on September 29.

BMW is using more secondary materials across the new 3 Series Sedan (G50), with around 70% of the hood made from recycled aluminum.
The G50 3 Series is about to break cover, and this is how the flagship M350 xDrive could end up looking.
If the new i3 still gives you range anxiety, the next-generation 3 Series Sedan (G50) will offer a PHEV powertrain, a BMW executive has confirmed.
The quad pipes confirm it's the M340i replacement, not an M3, and the reveal is only weeks away.
The new iDrive X infotainment system gives drivers step-by-step instructions on how to activate launch control and use it properly for maximum performance.
The i3 may look like an electric version of the next-generation BMW 3 Series, but underneath, the two cars have vastly different underpinnings.
We asked BMW if a rear-wheel-drive M350 is in the cards, but the answers were inconclusive. We should find out at the end of the month.
