1) BMW will offer no less than 10 drivetrain options each in Sedan and Touring formats. We’re excited for the M340d xDrive Touring with a 6 cylinder diesel motor and mild hybrid tech churning 700Nm of torque. Is this the perfect cross-border runner?

2) Eight-speed Steptronic transmission now included as standard for all new BMW 3 Series models. No manual transmission will be offered.

3) New exterior paint shades include Skyscraper Grey metallic, M Brooklyn Grey metallic, Frozen Pure Grey metallic and Frozen Tanzanite Blue metallic. Around 150 BMW Individual special paint finishes are also available.

4) BMW Curved Display will be featured - a 12.3-inch information display behind the steering wheel and 14.9-inch control display should provide the cabin with a more modern touch.

5) Infotainment system will be based on BMW’s latest Operating System 8, the same one found on the BMW iX and recently launched 216i Gran Coupe.

6) Three-zone automatic climate control, BMW Maps navigation system and an automatically dimming rear-view mirror will come as standard.

7) Three manufacturing plants will support this production - BMW Group Plant Munich, BMW Group Plant San Luis Potosi (Mexico) and a BMW plant located in Shenyang (China).
