JUST TAKE A VIEW AT THE 2019 BMW 3 SERIES
Brief description
All-new seventh generation BMW 3 Series
The BMW 3 Series is, was and possibly will be
one of the best-selling entry-level luxury sedans globally. Of late, though,
the company's hot model has lost out on a bit of its exuberance, because of the
particularly brilliant Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
To combat all of that, the
Munich-based company is presently at the final stages of road-testing the 2019 BMW 3 Series, which is expected to feature both petrol and
diesel power trains, and come in multiple variants.
While we have only seen the car under heavy
camouflage till now, they've all hinted at a more aerodynamic, sportier design.
The coefficient of drag is now 0.22, with an overall sleek body that looks
quite fast, and very like the BMW 5 Series. The overall dimensions, while
remaining reasonably compact, are expected to be on the stubbier side to follow
the family's design language. Autocar UK has also quoted BMW officials as
saying that the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is the clear competitor and benchmark for
the BMW 3 Series, and also suggests that the new 3 Series has a bunch of
elements from the BMW X2 SUV.
The new BMW 3 Series is being built on the
company's CLAR architecture, and the possible larger dimensions are 4703mm
length, and 2830mm wheelbase, both larger than before. The new platform will
also reportedly help the seventh generation BMW 3 Series to lose up to 50 kg
over the present BMW 3 Series, hence also increasing rigidity and
potential quality of handling. BMW is reportedly looking to increase the
overall comfort proposition of the 3 Series to match the smoothness and
refinement of the C-Class. While BMWs have always been hailed for the sporty
appeal, the general consensus of buyers in the executive sedan category seems
to have veered towards comfort as a priority factor.
It is this that BMW is aiming with its new 3
Series. The car is also expected to get iDrive 7.0, with an smoother physical
controller, and a larger touch-enabled display running on smoother new
firmware. The overall design and layout of the interiors, however, is possibly
going to remain the same, as seen from Car Magazine UK's spy shots so far.
