Following its debut in 2018, sales of the current (G20) BMW 3 Series started in early-2019 followed by the facelift (LCI) which went on sale in 2023. The next generation 3 Series is expected in 2026 and will likely consist of full-electric (BEV) variants, alongside conventional powered ICE variants. The best precursor of what’s to come is the BMW Vision Neue Klasse (which translates to New Class), the latest iteration of the BMW Dee concept that was first unveiled at the 2023 IAA Munich Auto Sho

If you’re looking for a family car that’s sharp to drive for less than RM 300k, chances are you’d turn to BMW. The question now is, should you go for an electric vehicle (EV) or good old-fashioned internal combustion engine (ICE) - the BMW i4 eDrive 35 or the BMW 320i? Their on-the-road prices are remarkable close to each other, with the BMW i4 eDrive 35 priced at RM 273,800, the i4 eDrive 35 M Sport at RM 299,800, and the BMW 320i M Sport at RM 283,800. While these models ride on the same platf

BMW has confirmed that it will be transitioning all its dealers in Europe into a unified agency-style, direct-to-customer sales model. Under the new approach, dealers, now known as retail partners, will no longer hold inventory of cars. As there is only one fixed price, customers won't need to compare discounts between dealers. Customers can enjoy full transparency on the currently available inventory nationwide and place their orders online. The retail partners will earn a fixed commission. The

When BMW debuted its Neue Klasse concept earlier this month, it was clear that it previewed the upcoming fully electric 3 Series. Drawing parallels between the BMW 7 Series and i7, we concluded that the Neue Klasse concept previews the next generation combustion engine 3 Series as well, except that we now know that it’s wrong. According to the latest information coming out of BMWblog, the next generation BMW 3 Series, codename G50, will not be related to the Neue Klasse platform i3, which will b

Unveiled ahead of today’s opening of the 2023 IAA Munich Auto Show, the BMW Vision Neue Klasse is the latest iteration of the BMW Dee concept that was unveiled last year. It’s not quite a production car yet, but it clearly points to an electric variant of the next generation BMW 3 Series. To be clear, BMW didn’t say that the next generation BMW 3 Series will be a battery EV-only model, neither did they say that the Neue Klasse will replace the current G20 generation 3 Series, at least not yet.
