Much like cars such as the Volkswagen Golf, Porsche 911 and Mercedes S-Class, the BMW 3 Series has cemented itself as the standard by which all of its peers are measured. And those peers nigh on always come off worse. But for how much longer? The 3 Series faces a not completely certain future as electrification takes an ever-bigger grip on its heritage. Do you want a fully electric 3? It’s currently called a BMW i4. So, best to savour this 7th-generation ‘G20’ BMW 3 Series for as much as you can, just in case. And that’s exactly what I did when BMW invited me for one of their driving challenges.

Road Tripping: Why The BMW 3 Series Is Still Revered By Enthusiasts Today

IN Road Tripping, BMW, 3 Series, Burnpavement

The 3 Series is BMW’s best-selling car, and arguably one of the most prominent automotive pillars.


The ubiquitous 3 Series has been famous worldwide as BMW's primary people-mover since 1975. Currently in it's seventh generation and codenamed G20, it's getting a mid-cycle refresh, or what BMW calls Life Cycle Impulse, or LCI. Outside The LCI G20 is set to come standard with full LED headlights, with adaptive LED headlights optionally available. The latter will feature a cornering light function, non-dazzling matrix high beam, dynamic headlight range control and variable light distribution to make driving at night that much safer for the driver as well as other road u sers. The headlights themselves will be sleeker and sharper-looking than those on the current pre-facelift G20.

REFRESHING CORE PRINCIPLES: The BMW 3 Series gets a Life Cycle Impulse

IN BMW, 3 Series, LCI

The BMW 3 Series (or G20) gets a mid-cycle update for its upcoming international launch in July.


Today, Sport Utility Vehicles (SUVs) have taken over as the car of choice and so unsurprisingly, the BMW X3 has become one the brand’s best-selling models. Although the 3 Series/4 Series are still the brand’s best-selling models in 2021 with 490,000 units sold, the X3/X4 range is closing in with 414,000 units finding homes last year.

Some timely updates and upgrades are set to keep one of the brand’s best-sellers at the top of its game.


Ok, so you’ve heard countless times how the Germans are the obvious choices. But have you looked around you? My word, the 3 Series, C-Class, A4 and XE are everywhere, to the point they’ve become - sorry to say this BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar - mass-market. There’s that undeniable brand appeal, true, but imagine driving to your college reunion and seeing Mark the rugby player, Jonathan the science geek, Eugene the bully and even Sam the teacher’s pet all turning up in the same executive sedan as you. You guys might reconnect and after this become closest buddies e-v-e-r, but in a nutshell, your uniqueness is no longer with you. Heck, back then you were the coolest dude simply because you could sing and play the guitar.
