The new G50 BMW 3 Series was unveiled in September, and we were recently invited to the south of France to drive the latest version of the benchmark sports sedan, alongside its pure electric sibling, the i3. You’ll be able to know our thoughts on the two cars over the coming weeks, but until then let’s take a closer look at the combustion-engined version, in the 320 trim that will likely be the volume seller in Malaysia when it launches next year.
Radically restyled inside and out, the new 3 Series is nevertheless refreshingly familiar under the skin. It’s based on the same Cluster Architecture (CLAR) as the outgoing G20, albeit the second-generation version that also underpins the G60 5 Series and G70 7 Series.
