The seventh generation of the BMW 3 Series range consists of the BMW G20 (sedan version) and BMW G21 (wagon version, marketed as 'Touring') compact executive cars. The G20/G21 has been in production since mid-October 2018[5] with a facelift in July 2022 and is often collectively referred to as the G20.
The M340i, one of the first models in the range, became available for sale in the spring of 2019, with the 330e plug-in hybrid model scheduled for launch in 2020.[6] The 3 Series Gran Turismo fastback body style was discontinued for the G20 generation.[7]
For this generation, BMW has begun G20 production in Mexico for various world markets including the US, replacing the Rosslyn plant in South Africa where the previous F30 generation vehicles were assembled.[8] The BMW G21 (wagon) models are exclusively assembled at the Munich plant.
