BMW 3 Series G50

The BMW 3 Series (G50) is the internal combustion half of the eighth generation of the BMW 3 Series, which also includes the battery electric i3 (NA0). Although the two are completely mechanically unrelated, with the internal combustion models based on an updated version of the CLAR platform used in the G20 and the electric models on the new Neue Klasse NAx platform, both are marketed under the 3 Series lineup simply as parallel powertrain options. The G50 was previewed by concept cars that showcased the Neue Klasse generation as a whole, including the i Vision Dee, the Vision Neue Klasse and the Vision Driving Experience, and it was revealed on 30 September 2026, six months after the NA0. The Neue Klasse design language brings slimmer double kidney grilles merged with the headlights, simplified body lines and an angular rear end, and the M350 xDrive has exclusive yellow daytime running lights.
