BMW teases new 3 Series ahead of Paris Motor Show debut
MANILA: The new G20 BMW 3 Series is on the cards for the soon-to-commence Paris Motor Show 2018. However, despite the official debut coming up, the company has continued to give away the obligatory teasers. The latest teaser from the German company is a set of three images of the final car that, we believe, is the top-of-the-line M340i trim.
The reason why we believe this to be the range-topper M340i is the image that shows the front left wheel. Yes, in this picture alone, we can see two BMW M logos, which is the trademark for the sports-based variants. The logo can be seen on the blue coloured brake caliper and also on the fender.
Some other interesting designing cues include the sharp headlamps with a very pointed end towards the wheel arches, something that could be traced in the video that was out at the start of the production. However, the purist-like prospective customers might not like the fact that a more angular design has replaced the Hofmeister kink. Also, it will feature the lip spoiler that looks like a part of the boot lid, much like the one seen on the F30.
Apart from these minute details, we can already analyse a lot about the car by the teaser images and spy shots that appeared over time. The car will have BMW’s signature double-kidney grille along with dual exhausts. The fact that it is built on the company’s CLAR (Cluster Architecture) platform has brought slight changes to the dimension. But again, the overall weight of the car has been left unaltered.
One of the three images teased by BMW now shows a part of the cabin. The image shows a little part of the digital centre console, multi-function M steering wheel and the inside door panel. The digital console has already been in the latest iteration of the G05 X5 while also happens to have the iDrive system along with OS 7.0. This combination of two 12.3-inch screens is what the company calls Live Cockpit.
On the mechanical side, the car will be getting a turbocharged 2.0-litre engine for the lower variants while the M340i is expected to get the turbocharged 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine. Moreover, other powertrains like a plug-in hybrid or even a full-electric model might join the list, but on different dates.
