2012 BMW 3-Series PAS renderings

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.
