    Next-Generation BMW 3 Series (G20) Teased Ahead Of October Reveal

    BMW has recently been rather open about its upcoming 3 Series codenamed G20. After some details and even the company’s own “spy shots” were released, there has now been a teaser image of what appears to be the next-generation 3-Series due for official reveal at the Paris Auto Show early next month.

    The image shows a BMW that looks much like a G20 3 Series covered in a sheet. Thanks to the sheet being partially see-through, we can see that the new car will feature a more dominant looking front end, so much so that we suspect that this is the range-topping M340i sporting an M Performance kit. The kidney grille is evidently larger than that of the outgoing model, as are the headlights and LED daytime running lights which appear to have undergone a complete revamp.

    For its new 3 Series, BMW has focused on weight reduction and perfect distribution to produce a more sorted out car that finds an even more ideal balance between a comfortable and sporty configuration than even the current model. Underpinnings have been honed to improve rigidity while sustaining a perfect 50:50 weight distribution. Furthermore, the G20 will lose in the region of 55 kg over the outgoing, equivalent F30.

    To ensure a better ride that offers a sweet spot between a sporty and comfortable ride quality, engineers have paid special attention to the car’s suspension. As a result, a new suspension system with lift-related dampers has been developed. Moreover, those models fitted with BMW’s M Performance kit such as the M340i featured will benefit from the M Sport Suspension which allows it to sit 10 mm closer to the ground.

    Speaking of the M340i, this range-topping model (save for the M division’s offering) will be good for around 360 hp (268 kW) and 500 Nm of torque courtesy of its 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six engine. Like the model it replaces, power expected to hit the rear wheels via an eight-speed auto box, an xDrive all-wheel drive system may be offered as an option. As for an alternative transmission, we will have to wait a little longer to find out if a manual gearbox will also be on the table.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
