BMW 3 Series
The 3 Series sedan gets a full makeover for the 2019 model year, while those of the Touring wagon and five-door Gran Turismo will follow later. Lighter and built on an all-new platform, the sedan will rely on a turbo four-cylinder engine (255 horsepower) or a turbo six (382 horsepower), both connected to an eight-speed automatic transmission and available xDrive all-wheel drive. A new M3 should soon be unveiled, in addition to a plug-in hybrid variant of the sedan.
