The transitions and four -wheel drive vehicles may have taken over, but the three category still prevails in the excellent part. With the launch of a 50 -year -old version in China, BMW celebrates another marking. Regardless of the mode of half a century since the launch of the E21 in 1975, the Bavarians are happy to report more than 20 million cars of 3Er proportions so far. It is sufficient to make the series 3 of the best sales is the best -selling luxury car ever.
The impressive number takes into account all the derivatives of the series 3. We are talking about the vehicle and Gran Turismo Hatchback. BMW also looked at a coupe and convertible before the two -door models moved to the 4 Series collection in early 2010. At almost the same time, China got a long -standing sedan 3ER, and it continues to sell. The prolonged model is the basis for a fully electric 3 series. EV is available exclusively in China like i3.
Quickly forward until 2025, and series 3 entered the last stage of the seventh generation (G20) since the car came out of the next generation next year. The G50 will maintain the six -fold tradition to perform the M350 and M3. It is not clear whether the vehicle has been signed yet, but we know it bears the name of the internal symbols G51. We hope that the long -resistant model will survive another life cycle.
The eighth generation model was confirmed that it is the first 3 series not built by BMW in Munich. The historical factory will not only assemble EVS from 2027, with reports that the 3er gas will be collected in Dinginging instead. Production is expected to start in November 2026, but M3 (G84) will not reach the collection line until July 2028.
Separate from Class 3 based on CLAR, BMW will manufacture other electric I3 (NA0) electric but on the Neue Klasse platform instead. The i3 (NA8) wheelbase was also planned for China. The gas car is likely to be extended to the local market.
For decades, Chain 3 was a sedan for beginners in BMW. However, this changed in 2017 when the Series Sedan (F52) series appeared in China. Two years later, the Gran Coupe series was released for global markets and finally replaced a short -term sedan.
