The 2027 BMW 3 Series steps into view with a sharper brief, and the 3 Series name is front and centre. Adopting cues from the Neue Klasse era, it trades ornate surfaces for crisper lines and a wider, slimmer kidney that flows into new light signatures. A taut bonnet, flush door handles and a sleeker tail with broad LEDs add to the streamlined stance, while deeper intakes hint at serious cooling and aero work beneath the skin.
If the renders are close to the mark, the range will crown an M350 that replaces today’s M340i. Quad tailpipes and a more assertive diffuser point to that badge, paired with xDrive all-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic. Expect a straight-six with twin turbos to remain the heart of the performance model, delivering the kind of mid-range punch that suits brisk A-road work and effortless motorway mileage.
Underneath, the combustion 3 Series sticks with an evolved CLAR platform to balance weight, rigidity and packaging, while the pure-electric 3 Series takes a different route on Neue Klasse architecture. That split should allow BMW to tailor chassis tuning and software to each powertrain, with fast-acting control systems and a more digital cockpit bringing cleaner graphics, smarter assistance and a less cluttered interface for everyday use.
The Touring estate is set to carry over the same design language for wagon fans abroad, while the saloon is expected to lead the launch in key markets. With production rumoured to begin roughly a year from now and the badge likely to land for the 2027 model year, the next 3 Series looks ready to modernise a core BMW recipe without losing the balance and road manners that made it a segment benchmark. Whether you favour the new face or not, the engineering intent is clear.
