The BMW 3 Series is getting a facelift that echos the styling of the new fifth-generation 7 Series. The car gets an oddly-creased bonnet, new bumper and new headlamps and at the rear there are new LED lights.
The new car will be officially unveiled at September’s Paris Motor Show. Five engines will now have the option of BMW’s all-wheel drive system, the xDrive, and the entire BMW 3 Series range gets brake energy regeneration and stop/start technology.
BMW will also be fitting the 335i Coupe and 335i Convertible with the M3’s seven-speed automatic gearbox.
