Take a look at the latest BMW 3 Series (G50) without any optional extras included.
Overview
- In Germany, the entry-level BMW 3 Series Sedan starts at €49,900 for the 318 variant, not including any extras.
- Alpine White is the only free color available, while the standard features include 18-inch wheels.
- Alternative interior designs necessitate additional payment.
The base model of a luxury automobile is frequently likened to the Loch Ness Monster—many assert it exists, but few have truly encountered it. Yet, for those interested, the least expensive iteration of a luxury brand's car is just a click away. BMW has unveiled the online configurator for the new 3 Series, showing how the G50 looks without any extra features.
At a price of €49,900 in Germany, this very basic 3 Series in the 318 trim includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter gasoline engine that produces a modest 154 horsepower. Although promotional images display the G50 with the M Sport Package, the configurator allows us to observe the 3er in its straightforward version. It substitutes black details with body-colored surfaces, and it doesn’t appear inferior.
As per BMW's typical guidelines, Alpine White remains the only color option at no charge. All other hues require an extra fee of €990, or €1,190 for M Brooklyn Grey or the newly introduced M Castellet Blue featured on the i3. The wheel setup stays standard: a classic silver 18-inch set, with the possibility to upgrade to larger 19- and 20-inch alloys for up to €2,500.
2027 BMW 3 Series Interior Without Any Additions
The interior remains devoid of any enhancements. The design of the interior can be categorized as "basic." The seats are adorned with what BMW labels “Econeer,” a material crafted from recycled textile composites, with the upper fabric made entirely from repurposed PET. Offered in Vivid Grey, it appears quite satisfactory for a base variant. Alternatively, genuine leather can be selected through an Individual package costing €2,980.
As promised by BMW, the 17.9-inch touchscreen is standard even on the basic 3 Series. The column-to-column windshield projection is also standard, rendering the dashboard layout nearly identical to that of the electric i3. For German buyers, the large panoramic glass roof with climate comfort glazing comes as standard, although, regrettably, no portion opens.
Old And New 3 Series Side By Side
BMW has previously removed the older 3 Series G20 from the configurator to make room for the new G50. However, German clients can still customize the Touring (G21), which will continue to be manufactured for some time. A new G51 is anticipated to debut later this decade. Meanwhile, the M3 G80 and G81 models are still on offer, signifying that the company is effectively marketing two generations of the same model concurrently.
