Rumour: 7th-gen BMW 3-Series launch by mid-2019

According to a media report, BMW is likely to launch the seventh generation 3-Series in India around July 2019. 

The 2019 BMW 3-Series was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show earlier this year. It is based on BMW's Cluster Architecture (CLAR), which is shared with the new 5-Series and 7-Series. It is longer, wider and taller than the outgoing model and has a longer wheelbase as well.

The new 3-Series gets a slimmer twin-kidney grille flanked by redesigned twin-pod LED headlights and a new front bumper. At the rear, it has slim L-shaped tail lights and dual exhausts. The new model comes with a revised dashboard with an 8.8 / 10.25-inch infotainment screen and a digital instrument cluster.

In India, the current 3-Series is available with a choice of two engines - 188 BHP 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder diesel and 248 BHP 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol. There is no word yet on the engines that will be offered on the upcoming model.
