BMW has officially unveiled the 2027 3 Series, a combustion-engine sedan that shares the 'Neue Klasse' design language with its electric i3 sibling. The lineup includes the 330, 330 xDrive, and the high-performance M350 xDrive, which features a 3.0-liter inline-six producing 437 horsepower and a new 'Drift Moment' mode. The electric i3 50 xDrive also received detailed specs, including 463 total horsepower and up to 468 miles of range.

BMW has confirmed the next-generation 3 Series will retain internal combustion engines, led by the new M350 xDrive. This model replaces the M340i with a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six and 48-volt mild-hybrid system, producing 443 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque. It achieves 0-62 mph in 4.1 seconds and features a new 'Drift Moment' mode that simulates rear-wheel drive. Production begins later this year in Dingolfing, Germany, while the Munich plant shifts to electric i3 production. The interior adopts the Neue Klasse design language, including a 17.9-inch screen and Panoramic Vision.
BMW is finalizing its combustion-powered 3-Series, led by the new M350 xDrive. This model replaces the M340i, offering 443 PS (437 hp) and 428 lb-ft of torque via a 48V mild-hybrid inline-six. A key feature, 'Drift Moment,' which converts the AWD car to RWD, will arrive via over-the-air update in 2027. The car shares Neue Klasse design cues with the electric i3 but uses a distinct platform for better dynamics.
BMW Canada has released a limited edition M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition to celebrate 50 years of the 3-Series, featuring six exclusive colors from past generations, unique badging, and performance specs identical to the standard model, with only 100 units available.
