The 2027 BMW 3 Series enters its eighth generation with an all-new design, updated technology, and new powertrain options. The redesigned gasoline-powered 3 Series and the all-electric BMW i3 represent BMW’s next generation of sedan design, with the i3 serving as a separate electric model rather than a 3 Series trim.

At BMW of North Canton, we help drivers in North Canton and surrounding areas explore the latest BMW sedan updates, compare available configurations, and get information about the upcoming models.

  • Sportier Proportions: Longer wheelbase, shorter overhangs, wider front and rear tracks, and more prominent wheel arches.
