BMW officially announced detailed technical specifications and information for the new 3 Series and the all-electric i3 lineup, developed based on the next-generation architecture "Neue Klasse." A key feature of these new models is the introduction of innovative engineering technologies across both internal combustion institutional investor and electrified powertrains.

The all-electric i3 maximizes performance and efficiency by featuring 6th-generation eDrive technology, an 800V high-voltage architecture, and a new cylindrical lithium-ion battery. The i3 50 xDrive delivers peak output of 345kW (469 horsepower) and maximum torque of 645Nm, and is equipped with a 108.7kWh battery, enabling a maximum driving range of 912km under WLTP standards. It supports 400kW DC fast charging, allowing an additional driving distance of up to 423km with a 10-minute charge, and accelerates from a standstill to 100km/h in 4.7 seconds. The i3 40 xDrive offers peak output of 275kW (374 horsepower), maximum torque of 520Nm, and a driving range of up to 710km with an 82.8kWh battery, while supporting 300kW fast charging. Additionally, both models support an electric front-wheel drive system and bidirectional charging functionality.

The top-tier internal combustion institutional investor model, the M350 xDrive, is equipped with a 3.0L inline-6 gasoline engine and a 48V mild HYBErid system, delivering peak output of 326kW (443 horsepower) and maximum torque of 580Nm, with acceleration from a standstill to 100km/h in 4.1 seconds. The 320, equipped with a 2.0L four-cylinder engine, produces 155kW (211 horsepower), while the 318th outputs 115kW (156 horsepower). All internal combustion institutional investor models come standard with 48V mild HYBErid technology and an 8-speed Steptronic transmission.

The interior features a Panoramic iDrive system equipped with a 17.9-inch central display, Panoramic Vision, and OS X based on the Android open-source platform. In terms of driving stability, the i3 is equipped with the "Heart of Joy" high-performance computer to increase vehicle control speed, while internal combustion institutional investor models apply a driving stack optimized for each drivetrain.

Production will be handled by the i3 at BMW's headquarters in Munich, Germany, and internal combustion institutional investor models at the Dingolfing plant, Europe's largest facility, with core components supplied from the Steyr and Ilves-Kirchheim plants. Official orders for the new 3 Series and i3, targeting global markets, begin today. The domestic release schedule has not yet been officially confirmed.
