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

[Gor134]

It's not cab forward but it is more FWD-y compared to the G50.

Kinda like the 1st gen Chevy Cruze sedan vs 2nd gen.

1st gen had decent proportions but clearly fwd, but the 2nd gen went full on cab-forward and ruined the proportions.

These are nice:

Literally two completely different cars

Personally, front to the A pillar G50 for me. And A pillar to rear bumper i3. I prefer the boxy design of the i3 in the end I think, but it's damn difficult and my mood seems to swing between the two.

Damn… I thought I was the only one changing opinion by the day with these two. Today I say G50.

The details look ansolutely great. I doubt NK fits another BMW like it fits the 3er.

The rear designs will polarize people. I'm concerned about the lighting.

The car screams winner from every angle.

The interior screams I'm a 15 years old Prius. I hope IDrive X will disappear soon in nowhere like MB EQ lineup.

I like the classic RWD type proportions of the G50 with that longer hood and pulled back cabin. The NA0 still does look fantastic so far, but its a fraction less desirable than the ICE car IMHO.

The placement and shape of the rear lights remind me of VFL.

Still, almost 12 years old, fresh. Still, almost 12 years old, absolutely magnificent.

Perhaps BMWs best concept vehicle PERIOD.

 

[Tuffode]

No G51?

NOT.A.FAN… it looks contrived.

They both look pretty much identical except the positioning of the A-pillar.

When you add i3’s green house to the 3er they basically look exact same. Perhaps the only other difference I can see is that i3’s ass is a bit shorter.

Absolutely not. The roof of the i3 is flat, and the 3er is curved. This is a major difference.
Literally everything is different. Even the fuel cap is in another position on both.

From these side-view shots they look super similar. Front and rear light graphics are same as well.

Both of the G50 and the NA0 are even going to share the wheel designs. This is going to be fascinating to witness.

I mean they look almost identical to me. Again, I’m only talking about these specific side views.

Not at all identical, two very distinct body styles, they couldn't be more different, despite BMW's narrative that "from a distance they will look the same," this is almost the same case as between the X3 and the iX3, except that these will share the front and rear design. one is more "classic BMW" and the other is ALL NK.

It's strange that you don't see it.

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

I mean they look almost identical to me. Again, I’m only talking about these specific side views.

The i3 has a notably thinner greenhouse, higher beltline, and shallower raked windscreen. They look close, but different enough to where you can tell them apart. Even the shape of the C-pillar/hoffmeister kink looks different.

The devil is in the details though, so perhaps once uncamoflaged it'll be less obvious.

Once the camo comes off, the differences will be more obvious.

 

[Titot]

one is more "classic BMW"

This is why I am gravitating towards the G50 more than any other upcoming BMW products.
