We’ve seen several spyshots of the G20 BMW 3 Series in prototype form in the past, but just what will it look like when the sedan finally makes its debut? Well, Theophilus Chin has provided us his answer with these renders of the all-new sedan.
At first glance, the 3er certainly appears to have a lot in common with the current G30 5 Series. Up front, we see larger, conjoined kidney grilles which have now become a staple for the brand as the array is also seen on the M2 Competition, Concept 8 Series. Like the F30 LCI, the headlamps continue to be linked to them, although there’s more contact area here as well as an intricate shape to them, what with the notch at the bottom. The LED DRLs remain in the headlamps, but are laid out differently, as seen in spyshots.
The lower apron is a reflection of what we’ve seen on test mules that were wearing an M Sport package. Like the camouflaged mules, there’s an aggressive-looking front bumper with three intake large sections and smaller ones in the corners. Here, the latter is accompanied by LED fog lamp strips.
Down the sides, BMW’s Air Breather elements make their appearance on the 3 Series, where they lead towards a prominent crease covering the doors. Another cue from the G30 are the distinct character lines that cut through the door handles, but here, they appear to be further accentuated by what looks like a raised section that goes all the way to the taillights and lip spoiler bootlid.
At the rear, the L-shaped taillights are again, reminiscent of the ones on the G30, and they sit just above the reflectors/rear fog lamp. Further down, we see a dual tailpipe setup surrounded by black trim, with this section being pushed outwards slightly and framed by outlets in the edges of the rear bumper.
Looks like an interesting prospect, don’t you think? Will you prefer this to the W205 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and B9 Audi A4? Do share your thoughts on these G20 3 Series renders in the comments section below.

Ugh, suddenly G30 looks handsome.
This looks dated and boxy…reminds me of 2012 Toyota Camry
You definitely lack sense…
With that butt looking like X6 and peugeot inspired headlights, lame looking tailights…frankly it’s looks like a cheap China BMW ripoff…like the current one better.
iPongX notch spotted!
Bimmer turns into Pijot with a notch
The headlight inspired by peugeot?
Looks good but the interior might be a letdown looking at the current spyshots
Nothing is gonna change my love for u since the 90s. So,easy job for,the designers!
Save your $$$ & buy a Kimchi that cost ONLY RM200 plus & U can still smile when U ZOOM past most common 3 series.
If anyone don’t know what I’m talking by now, it means you’re Not eating enuff Kimchi. Hehehe, cheers…
you really think K5 GT super keng? Car is not only about HP or NM lar! wake up bro!
Interm of branding, Kimchi still lower than Sushi..
Hehehe. i tot for a moment U got it. When I say – “ONLY RM200 plus”, that means it’s an expensive remote control(RC) toy car. I didn’t say RM200k bro.
As for the M3, I have one too. It’s in Matchbox size & it did not cost RM700k.
One kimchi brand confirm can come up with a similar model in 2-3 years time. Let’s see…
Should be KIA , hyundai is more on aerodynamical / futuristic / anorexic design.
This design is probably looks better than the original that will comes out
At last a real 3 is born ! I’m waiting for you ! And Norway for the 330 e i performance ! Oh, it will sell !
