Sneak Peek - BMW 2006
Sneak Peek - BMW 2006
BMW is testing late-stage prototypes of the next-generation 3 Series sedan and wagon, and the styling appears to be nearly as controversial as the designs of the larger 6 Series and 7 Series ranges. Scheduled to be publicly unveiled in early 2005, the next 3 Series sedan goes on sale in Europe at mid-year and in North America next fall as a 2006 model. BMW scrapped an earlier plan to use the 3 Series designation only on the four-door models, while shifting to a 2 Series designation for two-doors. Now all variants will be grouped under the 3 Series umbrella. Eventually the new sedan and wagon will be joined by a redesigned 3 Series coupe and convertible, as well as high-performance M3 models. Four-wheel drive will be optional on selected models.
