Despite the next generation of Bavarian model is expected to appear only in two years, the first information about the new 2012 BMW 3-Series is already available. Changes in the range of engines are likely to sadden the adherents of the Bavarian brand.

The traditional Bavarian values will not be lost. The new 3-Series will still be the car for the driver. It is assumed that, despite of the body size increase, the car won’t get extra pounds and keep precise handling. The body range will grow. In addition to the traditional sedan, station wagon, coupe and convertible, BMW will release a five-door GT hatchback, which will be a mixture of monocab and crossover. In addition, the convertible is likely to deprive the rigid folding roof. Instead, it will be a classic for this type of body fabric top.

Publishing illustrations are sketches made on the computer. However, we know that under the new design doctrine of the Bavarian brand, BMW does not longer seek to grant 3-Series, 5-Series and 7-Series with a different style. The features of new items will be similar to the appearance of a new 5-Series sedan, which will appear on the market this spring.
