3 Series (G20) [Renders] BMW 3 Series (G20) Rendered

[Betty Swollocks]

The G30 doesn't have CFRP so I doubt the G20 will.

The problem with the F30 is that it looked too much like the 5er when it came out. The G20 has to have a more individual styling.

ONLY the rear straight from the back, as the front and side are completely different (within the BMW family looks that is)

The G30 doesn't have CFRP so I doubt the G20 will.

If it's too expensive for a mass produced car like the 5er, it suddenly is ok for a model that sells even more than the 5er, with even less margins?

Is there a connection grill-headlights?

Looks really promising around the corners.

I'm a bit disappointed that new gasoline engines get just 7 hp more power (hp increase in diesels are between 6 to 19 according to AMS)

I guess they stressed on real world fuel consumption and emission reduction

Those renders don't look great, the slim front and rear lights don't do it for me and I am sure the production version will have completely different lights.

Based on the spy shots, I believe this is still the most realistic render so far:

The shoulder line seems to be very subtle, far from the G30 5er in this aspect. The frontlights look similar to the ones in the 5er, at least with all that camo, and is seems the sit right in the middle of kidneys, which are larger and higher than the F30 3er ones.

Other details suggest the same linear air intake than on the current 3er or the new 5er. And I would say the realights could also be spot on, again based on the mules we currently have with a lot of camo still.

2019 BMW 3 Series tests at the Nürburgring - on video
Next-generation BMW 3 Series saloon has been spotted testing with a new front design that copies the look of the 2017 5 Series

This is the latest footage of BMW’s next-generation 3 Series, which has been spotted on test at the Nürburgring with a previously unseen front bumper.

The new saloon, codenamed G20, will replace the current F30 3 Series in 2019, when it goes on sale. BMW hasn't said when the new 3 Series will make its first official appearance but it has ruled out a 2017 launch. This means it's likely to make its debut at a 2018 motor show, most likely the Geneva or Paris motor show.

Previous G20 mules have been spotted testing at the Nürburgring (you can see one in our gallery) but this new prototype offers the best glimpse yet of what the final production model will look like and suggests it will share several features with the 2017 5 Series.

The biggest example of this shared design is the front bumper. It appears to feature the same three-intake layout as the next 5 Series, and although the temporary headlights are heavily camouflaged, the same overall light structure will most likely be incorporated.

Sources say the other changes to the G20 3 Series will give it tauter-looking features and a harder-edged exterior. BMW's trickle-down styling approach will also be applied, meaning the 3 Series will look more like the new 5 Series, although it's not known how similar they will be. BMW's closest rival, Mercedes-Benz, has adopted a 'Russian doll' styling approach to its C, E and S-Class models, which very closely match one another on major design cues.

Spy photographers caught a glimpse of the latest test mule's dashboard design, but it looks to be an adapted version of the current 3 Series dashboard, rather than previewing what's to come in the next-generation car.

Engines and driveline

The G20 3 Series is expected to feature BMW’s turbocharged 1.5-litre three-cylinder engine in an entry-level model, with turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol and diesel engines directly above it in the range.

More potent models, including the M3, will most likely still use turbocharged in-line six-cylinder units, but with gains in power and reductions in CO2 output.

When it arrives, the G20 range will have to conform to the EU’s next wave of emissions legislation. This means it will be the first generation of 3 Series tasked with producing an average CO2 emissions output of less than 100g/km.

Like its predecessor, it’s expected to be available in both rear and four-wheel-drive forms.

Most recently, BMW updated its current 3 Series GT model to bring it into line with the rest of the range, which was recently refreshed with a facelifted exterior and new engines. As the 3 Series moves into the second half of its life cycle, BMW is getting ready to replace the model.

The main focus here was actually on a Ford Focus but in the background we see a G20 but not just any G20. A G20 now running full electrics as you can see by the actual headlight unit instead of placeholders.

This looks very promising, to say the least

Yes very 90s bmw proportions.

 

[Touring]

Please

Please make a touring. That will crush Model 3. At least in Europe.

Full electrics as in electrical systems from the actual car, like the real headlights instead of the placeholders. Not the electric drive 3er (although it will not doubt come, and likely also as a Touring).

As for the car....I love it already.
