BMW i3 (NA0) and BMW 3er (G50)

[Gor134]

Well, looks like the next generations of BMW's class leading compact-exec sport sedans is out testing officially.

Now coming in two separate platforms.

The i3 is chassis code NA0 and on the "Neue Klasse" platform while the 3er is chassis code G50 and going to be on updated version of the current "CLAR" platform

Here is the i3:


Not.. the most attractive proportions.

The G50 3er on the other hand...


Classic 3er proportions with a nice long deck, big greenhouse, and a nicely defined trunk. I think it looks very attractive. And paired with the "Neue Klasse" styling on the front and rear will make for a very fresh and original BMW design.

AND, we will have both an EV "ZA0" M3 (iM3?) and an ICE MHEV "G84" M3.

C'mon Lexus.. do something!

The i3 really is bringing back the e46 and prior sizing, while the 3 er looks gargantuan in comparison, almost e60 dare i say.

Being as shallow as buyers are, the obvious proportional difference is gonna be on the marketing

That is wildly inaccurate, they just altered the 5er's front and rear end.

The design is going to be the Neue Klasse front end with the horizontal grille/headlight integration together.
