Based on the CLAR platform which is shared with the 5 Series and 7 Series, the BMW 3 Series will come with a lighter body by 55 kg. This reduction in weight will benefit the vehicle with better driving dynamics as well as the higher fuel efficiency.

Dimensionally, thanks to the new platform, the length width and height of the 3 Series was extended by 76 mm, 16 mm and a marginal 1mm, respectively. Also, the wheelbase grows by 41 mm. The extension in dimension means a lot for the interior space inside the BMW 3 Series. It is not the end yet; the 2019 BMW 3 Series also has a bigger boot space. At 480 litres, the cargo space is 36 litres larger than in the previous model, giving more space for storing belongings.
