Speaking with BMW Australia about the next-generation F30 3 Series coupe and convertible, PerformanceDrive has learned that they aren’t likely to arrive in Australia until early next year.
There has been reports and rumours suggesting the new models will be called the 4 Series, however, BMW’s product communications manager Scott Croaker told us no official confirmation has been made on that at this stage.
Like the 5 Series coupe and convertible is called the 6 Series, and the old 7 Series coupe was called the 8 Series, there certainly is tradition there for the new 3 Series two-door models to be badged as the 4 Series. We’ll have to wait until later in the year for official confirmation though.
