Those Beemer fans would be excited to know that the upcoming 2024 BMW 3 Series would be some updates on both the interior and exterior, although the focus would be mostly done for the interior cabin. According to some sources, Beemer is planning on introducing their latest update for iDrive infotainment system. This latest design, which is stated as 8.0 version, would be coming with bigger screen. To match the entire design, the dashboard would also be revised.
The Updated Plan
Aside from the physical updates, it’s possible that the future 2024 BMW 3 Series would also support electrification. The electric options may start from i3. In fact, the prototype for the suspected electrified 3 Series has been seen here and there. The specifications for the i3 would be expected to match the ones on i4. If that’s the case, then you should expect the 83.9 kWh battery and the ability to cover 300 miles of range.
Powertrain and Performance
There are no certain things for the machine department for now. In the North American market, the option would be the inline four turbocharged unit with 2.0 liter capacity, delivering 248 hp. However, there is a possibility of inline six turbocharged unit with 3.0 liter capacity that can generate 382 hp, paired up with the (lightweight) hybrid technology, able to add up around 11 hp.
BMW is optimistic that their sedan line is still strong and solid, despite the declining sales numbers of the sedan. They also believe that their improved sedan features and abilities would affect the price sales, able to increase it. In America alone, the sales for 3 Series sedan still reach 40,000 annually.
The Exterior Style
You have to admit that the 3 Series is a handsome ride. The grille would be ‘adorned’ with updated LED headlights. The daytime running (LED) lights are coming with arrow shape that runs over the car’s main light beams, rather than going below. There is also an hexagonal (middle) intake along the L-shaped signature on every side of the car. The 3 Series Touring would get the similar updates, just like the sedan, and those updates would be happening on the rear and the front.
The Interior Cabin
As it was mentioned before, the sedan would get new iDrive 8.0 infotainment technology that has been used in iX and i4 electric vehicles. The ambiance would remain plush and cozy. New interior trim should also be expected, along with better dashboard design. The features and technologies, including safe drive assist, would be expected.
Q and A
Q: How much would be the 3 Series be sold?
A: The predicted tag price would likely start from £33,000 for the sedan or around £34,500 for the Touring trim level. There is a slight price bump because of the redesigned work. Keep in mind that this is only prediction, so we don’t know for sure.
Q: When will BMW introduce their new 3 Series?
A: The Facelifted version should be ready in 2023, most likely in the middle of the year. We should expect more updates from Beemer regarding their new 2024 BMW 3 Series.
