BMW i3 and 3 Series Models Now Look Virtually Identical

Electric and gas-powered BMWs share an almost identical appearance

BMW has recently updated the look of its 3 Series lineup, bringing it closer in appearance to its electric i3 model in what some might call a convergence of design.

The New Look

The most notable change to the 3 Series is its new front grille, which is now much larger and more similar to the one on the i3. The headlights have also been redesigned and now feature a more angular look. At the rear, the taillights have been redesigned and are now connected by a thin strip of chrome.

Overall, the new 3 Series has a more aggressive and sporty look than before. However, it is also clear that BMW is trying to create a more cohesive look across its entire lineup as some or most of the similarities look like a deliberate tactic.

Here is a list of the similarities between the new 3 Series and the i3:

• Large, kidney-shaped grille
• Angular headlights
• Connected taillights
• Aggressive and sporty look

What This Means for Consumers

The new look of the 3 Series is likely to appeal to consumers who are looking for a sporty and stylish sedan. The car's updated design also brings it in line with the rest of BMW's lineup, which could make it more appealing to potential buyers.

However, it is important to note that the new 3 Series is still a very different car from the i3. The i3 is an electric car, while the 3 Series is a gas-powered car. The i3 is also smaller and more efficient than the 3 Series. As such, consumers should carefully consider their needs before deciding which car is right for them.
