On 3 November 2026, BMW announced the start of series production of the eighth-generation BMW 3 Series Sedan at its Dingolfing plant. The site will build combustion-engine versions first, with plug-in hybrid powertrains planned from 2027. BMW says the new generation adopts the Neue Klasse design language and key technologies, including Panoramic iDrive, a new electrical and electronic architecture, and new driver-assistance systems. The market launch is scheduled to begin gradually in the first quarter of 2027. This is a global production and launch update. It does not confirm availability, pricing or equipment for any specific market, including Iran.
