BMW will unveil the next generation 3-Series in 2012. The next generation 3-series will be evolutionary rather than revolutionary, so the styling reflects the current cues, which includes the CS concept.
BMW will unveil the facelift version of the 3-Series, including the M versions, this autumn at the Paris Motor Show. And the latest spy shots revealed the almost undisguised version of the M3 sedan.
The M3 will feature a new front fascia with a new bumper, modified fog lights and a differently sculpted bonnet. And there will be new tail lamps, too, plus we expect an updated cabin and emission-optimzed engines.
Everybody knows that Bmw is the most customizable vehicle! In order to confirm these words VQMotoring unveiled its latest body kit for the Bmw 3-Series. Powered by the 3.0 liter petrol engine, the car features a VQMotoring widebody, Seibon trunk lid, 20” alloy wheels, rear spoiler as well as a rear air diffuser with integrated exhaust system.
Also the suspension system has been improved due to the use of H&R sports springs. The car not only looks good but also has better performances and due to the ECU tweaking is now capable to develop 350 hp making the sprint from 0-100 km/h possible in less than 5.5 seconds.
BMW will launch two new crossovers in the next years: one based on the 3-Series and one based on the 5-Series. The first one, the V3 will be launched sometime in 2012, two years after the V5, that is set for launch in 2010.
With design clearly inspired by the CS Concept, the future 3-Series PAS will be a four-seater model, with improved interior space.
It will be offered in two different versions, RWD and FWD, and under the hood there will be a choice of four and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines.
Read our V3 preview in here.
The Bmw 3 Series Concept is a project that previews a possible future design direction for the brand, with an original and complex surface language. The designer is Coventry graduate Benedetto Bordone.
Created by Benedetto Bordone, the BMW 3 Series concept was "designed to realistically preview where BMW Design could go next with their design direction for their Core Models."
The surfacing for the body has been inspired by the human forms of an athlete.
The design emphasizes the typica BMW characteristics of lean strength and "highlights the brand’s role at the forefront of what is possible in automotive sculpturing", as Benedetto explains.
Several characterizing design details were inspired by modern architecture.
The BMW 3-Series is close to be revealed and spy shots are getting better by the day. Here are the best spy shots ever, that reveal almost everything, and as you can see we can expect to a pretty big facelift.
The taillights on the sedan facelift will be quite different. The sedan will be equipped with LED taillights. The front will have as well some new elements, such as: new bumper, grille and different fog lights.
Stay tuned, more details will soon follow!
There’s not a secret anymore that the CO2 emissions regulations are getting drastic by the year, and that the auto carmakers are doing their best to stay on top of the game and most of them are working on eco-friendly cars. BMW is obviously one of them and there are already rumors flying around that speak of a minicar that could be released in 2010.
At the Geneva Motor Show, BMW has unveiled a 3 series model, 320d, delivering an impressive 53.3mpg on the combined cycle and CO2 emissions of just 140g/km.

BMW will launch the 3 series diesel (335d) and the X5d on the US market this October.Both models are getting BMW’s dual turbocharged 3.0L inline six diesel starting this fall.
The 265-hp, 425-lb.ft. torque monster will make these vehicles among the most fuel-efficient and best performing vehicles in their class.
The BMW 335d featuring Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance for maximum output of 265 hp and peak torque of 425 lb-ft. will provide a clear and convincing demonstration of these qualities. On the road, this means acceleration from 0–62 mph in 6.2 seconds and average fuel economy of 23/33 mpg (city/highway, provisional data).
The BMW X5 xDrive35d offers sporting character through BMW Advanced Diesel with BluePerformance, while standing out as a high-torque Sports Activity Vehicle with excellent qualities for long-distance motoring. The BMW X5 xDrive35d accelerates from 0–62 mph in just 7.2 seconds and offers average fuel economy of at least 19/25 mpg (city/highway, provisional data).
BMW will announced pricing in the next couple months.
