The 2019 BMW 3-Series that debuted Tuesday at the 2018 Paris auto show not only represented the seventh generation of the sedan, but it’s also a substantial leap forward for the iconic four-door that has withered for nearly a decade.

The new 3-Series dramatically improves its interior tech and driver assistance features—in line with similar improvements to the 5-Series—instead of wholesale changes to its powertrain menu. Like the sedans before it, the BMW 3-Series will (at least initially) skip a manual transmission.
Inside, the new 3-Series is equipped with BMW’s latest infotainment and voice recognition devices, a suite of driver-assistance devices, including self-parking tech. Forward-facing cameras can keep the new 3-Series centered in its lane, automatically brake for oncoming cars or pedestrians, and even warn drivers that they’re going the wrong way.
BMW’s Live Cockpit is standard in the new 3-Series with an 8.8-inch touchscreen and 5.7-inch digital display for instruments. Those can be updated to a 12.3-inch digital display and 10.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay compatibility. BMW’s latest and greatest software takes center stage: Microsoft Office compatibility, smartphone accessibility (including a digital key), and voice recognition software.
Although the software is significantly different in the 3-Series, the hardware received a light revision.
On Tuesday, BMW detailed the 330i and M340i versions of the new 3-Series. An M3 is in the works and a plug-in hybrid 3-Series is confirmed for early 2020.
The new 3-Series is longer by 2.9 inches, wider by 0.6 inches, but taller by 0.5 inches. BMW stretched its wheelbase by 1.6 inches, and widened its track by 1.7 and 0.8 inches, front and rear, respectively. Its trunk now rivals mid-size sedans at 17 cubic feet.
The 2019 3-Series looks marginally sportier than the car it replaces. The twin kidney grille reaches further back onto the hood, and the lower bumper is sculpted with a larger chin and molded inlets on the sides that house the foglights.
A large cutout for the front-facing camera and sensors likely necessitated the change over last year's thinner lower bumper. The thinner headlight housing now encases standard LEDs, upgradeable to adaptive LEDs with "Laserlight" tech lifted from the i8.
Along the body sides, the new 3-Series has clearer separation between the window line and a body line that reaches from the front wheel toward the back of the sedan. A line at the bottom kicks up toward the signature Hoffmeister kink in the rear roof pillar, which is more pronounced in the 3-Series. The rear window is frameless this time around, closer to the 4-Series Gran Turismo.
The rear tailpipes are now split on all models, and thinner taillights punctuate a more rounded decklid kick.
