The current BMW 3-Series made its debut at the Paris Motor Show in 2018 and received a mid-cycle refresh in May this year. The updated model comes with minor exterior tweaks at the front and rear fascia of the sedan. Inside the cabin, it gets a wide range of technological upgrades featuring a large curved screen comprising dual displays for the driver and the centre touchscreen infotainment system. If The auto manufacturer continues with its typical lifecycle updates, then the 3-Series is expected to receive a refreshing touch again in 2025, which makes perfect sense for a new platform to take over.

The launch and coexistence of an ICE variant and an all-electric iteration of the popular sedan from BMW will leave the choice upon the consumers what they want for their drive. This is quite the opposite of the strategy adopted by several automakers for shifting toward electric mobility, as many car brands have set targets to shift completely toward zero-emission mobility and planned to ditch the ICE models altogether.
