According to the interweb, the 'new 3' will be bigger, lighter, more comfortable with greater agility than the outgoing F30, thanks to the combination of a new platform, suspension and materials used for the chassis.
Power-wise, the 2.0-litre mill is expected to see some slight gains in terms of power and fuel economy, while the cabin is rumoured emulate that of the new Z4.
The unveiling of the G20 will take place on Oct 2 and along side it, the new Z4, 8 Series Coupe and the world premieres of the fourth-generation X5 and new M5 Competition will subsequently be unveiled.
