2027 bmw 3 series debuts with neue klasse stylingFollowing the earlier reveal of the all-electric i3, BMW has officially pulled the sheet off the gas-powered 2027 3 Series. The long-standing sport sedan arrives with radical Neue Klasse styling, dropping the historical "i" moniker from its gasoline-burning lineup to keep customers from confusing combustion models with electric variants.2027 BMW 3 Series: All The Details2027 BMW 3 Series: All The DetailsView Gallery49 photosHeavyweight M Performance Power and Clean StylingThe U.S. lineup launches with three core configurations: the rear-drive 330, the all-wheel-drive 330 xDrive, and the range-topping M350 xDrive.Base 330 models rely on a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, sending output through an eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission for a 0-60 mph sprint of 5.9 seconds.The M350 xDrive steps up as the most potent M Performance 3 Series to date. Powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six pushing 437 horsepower and 428 lb-ft of torque, the flagship model drops the 0-60 mph acceleration run to 3.9 seconds. Both powertrains are electronically limited to a top speed of 155 mph.Visually, the gas-powered 3 Series mirrors the sleek proportions and flush door handles of its i3 sibling, though it retains functional kidney grilles up front alongside optional yellow M headlight accents. M350 xDrive models add blacked-out exterior trim, model-specific bumpers, blue M Sport brake calipers, a rear decklid spoiler, and quad exhaust tips.2027 bmw 3 series debuts with neue klasse stylingPanoramic Cabin Tech and Over-the-Air Drift ModeInside, the cabin adopts BMW's full digital overhaul centered around a 17.9-inch trapezoidal touchscreen paired with the Panoramic iDrive system, which projects critical vehicle data across the entire base of the windshield. An Amazon Alexa-powered AI assistant and a TiVo-backed video streaming application for parked entertainment come integrated, though unlike the upper-tier X5 and i7, a dedicated passenger screen isn't on the option sheet.For driving enthusiasts, the M350 xDrive introduces a novel trick called "Drift Moment." The system electronically decouples the front driveshafts to send 100% of available torque to the rear wheels. Notably, the rear-bias drift feature will not be functional at initial vehicle launch, with BMW promising to enable the hardware via an over-the-air software update later in 2027.2027 bmw 3 series debuts with neue klasse stylingPricing and Showroom LaunchThe 2027 BMW 3 Series is scheduled to arrive in U.S. dealerships in early 2027.
