New BMW 3 Series estate/wagon debuts with sported-up looks

A number of official photos of the next BMW 3 Series estate/wagon have cropped up on a German car news website. The live premiere isn’t expected until the 2019 International Motor Show Germany scheduled for this fall, so let us take a look while we can.

Overall, the car looks sportier and more agile than its predecessor. Interestingly, it also lacks BMW’s trademark design feature known as the Hofmeister kink.

The 3 Series Touring variant will only be available in Europe. Powertrain options will be identical for the estate/wagon and the sedan/saloon version. Specifically, you will be able to choose among several turbocharged gasoline and diesel engines and a single hybrid powertrain.
