BMW has already conducted the new i3 in the preview, which will be switched to the new class platform instead of sticking to Clar. We have also seen prototypes of the electrical limousine. In addition, Car Paparazzi test vehicles have moved to the next generation of the next generation in front of the camera. However, the two different sedans have never been discovered together.
If you cannot immediately see which one is, it is understandable. At the beginning of the year, the BMW Group Design boss Adrian van Hoydonk told BMWblog Future combustion and electrical models will look very similar: “I think you will be tough [from a distance] To recognize which the electrical is and which is the combustion engine. It will be so close. “
Ok, what is which? The 3 Series “G50” is the car closer to the camera with two -tone bikes. It may also have an M sports package that judges the Red BrakeSäschers. The full electrical i3 “Na0” with its silver wheels has a German license plate that ends in “E” – a treacherous sign that it is electrically. A closer look at the i3 shows that it has a shorter nose, which makes sense when you consider that no engine is below the bonnet. BMW has already confirmed that the INLINE SIX will be kept alive for the next generation 3, which will definitely have a longer nose than the i3.
The two cars have different belt lines. It gently gets closer to the Hofmeister kink on the gas 3, while the i3 has a flatter belt line. Conveniently, there is a 3 of the current generation “G20” between the two cars. Of the three, the electrical prototype seems to be the smallest and apparently has a slightly shorter front overhang. We also see another i3 prototype in front of you, which is together by an i4 M50 that was completed in an apparently frozen portimao blue.
It is logical that BMW tests the next 3 and i3 at the same time, as both will be released next year. According to reports, the “G50” will enter production in November 2026, four months after the “NA0”. Later in their life cycles, the two fat versions receive.
