2027 BMW 3-Series Prototype Drive: Neue Klasse Is a Gas
- BMW recently completed final summer driving dynamics testing in Miramas, France, for the upcoming 2027 BMW M350 xDrive, adopting the Neue Klasse design language while retaining internal combustion power.
- The M350 xDrive features a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine with 48-volt mild-hybrid technology, producing 437 horsepower and accelerating from zero to 62 mph in 4.1 seconds.
- Engineers equipped the model with adaptive suspension and an active rear differential to sharpen handling, while BMW plans to introduce "Drift Moment" rear-drive mode via over-the-air update next year.
- Inside, the vehicle incorporates the Neue Klasse interior, featuring a horizontal BMW Panoramic iDrive screen that displays instrument cluster information along the base of the windshield.
- While BMW expands its electric vehicle lineup, the M350 serves as the performance-oriented gas-powered variant, entering production later this year to bridge traditional combustion and the automaker's electric future.
