When BMW gave the 3 Super A-A-MID cycle update in 2022, he announced that the US models were only produced in the San Luis Potosí factory in Mexico. However, we have recently been aware that the G20 is still being imported from the work in Munich in Germany.
A reliable insider on the Bimmer Post The forums claim that “BMW has started to quietly began building 330i sedans in the configurations with back and all-wheel drive.
“BMW maintains a flexible global production network and will continue to import BMW 3 Series from Mexico and Germany. This applies not only to the 330i variants, but also to all 3 series models that are produced for the US market.”
This also means that the M340i is sold in the United States in both back and all-wheel drive versions that carry the “Made in Germany” label. The full M3 remains only built in Munich.
If you ask yourself how much life in the G20 and G80 remains: the former should end production in October 2026, the latter ending after a few months later in February 2027.
As we have already reported, it is unlikely that the next generation 3 and M3 will be produced in Munich. From 2027, the historical system transfers exclusively for the production of electric vehicles. Where’s the 3 Series? According to our sources, production is expected to move to Dingolfing. The G50 3 series is expected to enter production in November 2026, while the first G84 M3 was able to unroll the line in July 2028.
BMW plans another M performance model with an inline-six engine, although it is not referred to as M340i. Instead, this non-range variant is renamed as a M350 and can produce up to 417 hp. If it is precisely, it would be a 31 hp increase compared to the current US SPEC M340i. It is expected that it is available with both return and all-wheel drive. As for the next M3, sources indicate that it delivers between 530 and 560 hp. However, the flagship could only come with XDRIVE and an automatic transmission.
It is still unclear whether there will be another 3 -way tour with burning engines. The rumored model supposedly bears the internal code name “G51”, but its production has not yet been confirmed. Our sources show that i3 Touring (Na1) has a better chance of getting the green light.
