upcoming BMW 3 series
Like its bigger 5- and 7-series stablemates, the new 3-series features large headlights that appear to merge into the brand’s classic kidney grille design. That grille will employ shutters that open and close at higher speeds in order to improve aerodynamics and fuel economy. Meanwhile, the 3’s body sides will include a handful of character lines that sweep across the car’s four doors. Expect the front fenders to house a pair of functional vents that mimic those on other BMW models. Change also is afoot inside the new 3-series, which appears to usher in a new iDrive control knob, new center-console buttons, and model-specific seats. As in other recent BMWs, the new 3 will have a center stack that’s curved toward the driver, and it will offer an optional digital gauge cluster and the latest iDrive software, which will include a touchscreen that works in conjunction with the console-mounted control knob.

The 2019 BMW 3 Series test mule carries a host of production parts including the headlamps. The headlight cluster looks visibly larger than the current model and you can also make out the hexagonal projector lenses, while the grille is wider as well. The design cues seem have taken inspiration from the larger 5 and 7 Series, with the overall styling being sharper and more evolutionary. Expect a similar stance on the new 3 Series that will also boast of wider LED taillights seeker looking body panels and wider dimensions as well.

In addition, a major upgrade will be seen in the cabin that is all
set to go high-tech on the next generation BMW 3 Series. The
infotainment system is all-new and has been integrated into the
dashboard, while the instrument console is completely digital. The air
vents too are now slimmer than the older rectangular units, while the
number of buttons have seen a drastic reduction in the cabin.
Nevertheless, there is a healthy mix of old and new in the cabin that
should be the conservatives and tech gurus happy.
