BMW launches production of new generation gasoline 3 Series
BMW has started series production of the new generation gasoline 3 Series. The model is being manufactured at the company's plant in Dingolfing, where the 5 Series and 7 Series are also assembled.
Production of the 3 Series has returned to this facility after more than 20 years. The BMW plant in Munich will specialize in the production of electric vehicles.
The electric i3 is built on a separate platform that does not allow for the installation of an internal combustion engine. The new 3 Series uses an evolution of the previous generation's chassis. Therefore, the models have different platforms and designations: NA0 for the i3 and G50 for the 3 Series.
BMW is also preparing a plug-in hybrid based on the new 3 Series. It is expected to be designated as the 330e.
