宝马继续在慕尼黑街道上测试下一代3系，这次谍照记者更全面的拍摄到了这款车。宝马在德系高端车型中仍坚持采用单一造型设计，然后推广至其他车型的做法。新一代3系看起来很像最新款5系，而后者又是在模仿7系车。这辆轿车采用了几个侵略性M-Sport运动版本组件，其中包括更复杂的前脸造型。工程师试图掩盖格栅上部的边框，前大灯也进行了遮盖。但保密工作似乎做得不太好，仍能看出一些部件的外形。车厢内的设计似乎并未最终完成。数字显示屏看起来采用了全功能设计，但造型看起来比较古怪。速度表和转速表似乎是半圆形的而非矩形。中控台顶部更宽阔的显示屏位于仪表板旁边，中控台设有控制旋钮。车内的各种线束表明，这辆3系车仍是一辆测试车。据传新一代3系欧版车将搭载更多种类的柴油和汽油引擎，功率从101千瓦/136马力到283千瓦/380马力。顶级款M3搭载的3.0升直列六缸轻混系统据说功率将达到373千瓦/500马力。新一代3系将在10月的巴黎车展期间首次亮相，随后将于明年初上市。
Next-Gen BMW 3 Series Spied Showing Off Its High-Tech Cabin
The next-gen BMW 3 Series continues to test on the streets of Munich, and this fresh crop of spy shots provides a comprehensive look at the upcoming premium sedan.
BMW sticks with the styling trend among Germany's premium automakers of creating a single shape and then adapting it to different vehicles. The result is that the new 3 Series looks a lot like the latest 5 Series, which resembles the 7 Series. This sedan wears a few aggressive M-Sport pieces like the complex shape for the front fascia. The engineers try to conceal the upper edges of the grille and headlights with camouflaged panels, but the pieces don't do a very good job of hiding the final parts underneath.
Inside, the vehicle's development looks far from complete. The digital infotainment display appears fully functional, but its design still strikes us as odd. Rather than just being a rectangular screen, the numbers for the speedometer and tachometer have their own semi-circular sections. A wide monitor at the top of the center stack flanks the instruments, and there's a control dial for it on the center console. An exposed rat's nest of wires indicates this 3 Series is just a test mule.
A rumor indicates that the new 3 Series is available with a wide variety of diesel and gasoline engines in Europe, and their output ranges from just 136 horsepower (101 kilowatts) to 380 hp (283 kW). Later, the range-topping M3 reportedly boasts around 500 hp (373 kW) from a biturbo 3.0-line inline six with mild hybrid assistance.
The new 3 Series reportedly debuts at the Paris Motor Show in October and go on sale in early 2019.
