2027 BMW 3 Series: BMW invests over R30 billion in new model production

The BMW Group has announced it is investing approximately €2 billion in vehicle manufacturing and battery production in Germany for the SA-bound new 3 Series.

Since the ‘3 Series’ nameplate’s debut in 1975, it’s been produced at the Plant Munich assembly line, with German manufacturing taking place at Plant Dingolfing since 1980. Of the approximately 18 million units built since initial production kicked off, 15 million were produced in Germany. As a reminder, the 3 Series was also produced in South Africa, at BMW’s Plant Rosslyn near Pretoria, the automaker’s first manufacturing facility outside of Germany, for 35 years – from 1983 to 2018.

2027 BMW 3 Series South Africa launch date and models

The G50 and i3 will launch in South Africa in the first quarter of 2027. The models confirmed for our market are the 318, 320, and M350 xDrive – the latter spearheading the lineup…until the full-fat M model arrives. The ICE range will be joined by the i3 50 xDrive.

Here we have a wonderful illustration of one of the major reasons modern cars are so ugly. See all of that dead space between the top of the wheel arch and the bonnet top? That's the army of worthless bureaucrats in Brussels insisting you have to make provision for Bomalian pedestrians wandering onto the roadway.

This pug nosed G50 is one of the worst implementations I've seen yet. BMWs used to have pretty, pert, low noses.
