3 Series (G50) [Spy shots] 2027 BMW 3 Series (G50)

A genuine question why are all these new BMW sedans to tall

I mean the 7 is like a suv

The 5 looks tall compared to older sleeker 5 models

It’s common knowledge that the 5 and 7 Series models share platforms for their ICE and EV models. Due to the platform needing to house the battery pack in the floor, they have taller bodies to accommodate. It’s not ideal from a styling perspective but the strategy appears to have paid off for BMW.

The three series was always low and sleek looking

It will still be. It will not share the platform across ICE & EV. As is evident here in the photos.

This looks like a low riding suv

No, it doesn’t.

Can't vouch for the validity of these M3 photos. If real, we're gonna be alright.

Update to my previous post: This is the Vision Driving Experience (VDE) and it's a prototype not likely to be sold. The new M3 will likely benefit from its developments. Interesting preview of what's to come for BMW interiors too.

Also, next 3 series based M3 is G84, this is more likely related to ZA0 i3 M Neue klasse.

Thanks for the clarification.

It’s more or less a conceptual preview on the journey towards the First Electric M3. But still we get an ICE M3 sibling. It’s going to be a difficult choice to make. Not so with the iX3 with its singular iX3M and no alternate X3M.

Updates from Ynguldyn:

Just like BMW signaled, NA0 and G50 are being designed to look very similar to each other - to the point that they're even sharing wheel options. Though NA0 will likely be considered a bit more upscale. Little details like both will get the fancy multifunction seats but only NA0 will include the massage function.

One difference I noticed between G50 and NA0 is the door handles. One car has similar door handles to other new BMWs with a recess for your hand to fit in but the other has totally flush handles that most likely pop out like Tesla and Mercedes models. My guess that NA0 is with totally flush pop out door handles?

BOTH the G50 and NA0 are looking really good in these images. I especially like the NA0.

It’s going to be a difficult choice for the customer.
BMW are hoping that those who are currently with the 330e will be wanting to make the full transition to the i3. If not? Then the G50 3er will continue to provide the hybrid option. The market introduction for both i3 and 3er will also show the key competitors will be a few years older. Either way it’s a win-win for BMW.

The new C-class EV and C-class ICE FL will be launched in 2026, so it's going to be a formidable battle with these BMW saloons.

G50 looking good. Hope they don't play any funny games with the Hofmeister kink.. would be nice to see a return to a cleaner kink as opposed to the oddly angular one on the current G20.

They both have the same exact flush doorhandles that pop out.

The door handles will be the same on both.
