About the new BMW 3 Series
The new 3 Series is a major redesign for the Neue Klasse era. It is bigger than its predecessor, at 4,765 mm long, 1,850 mm wide and 1,455 mm tall. The cleaner surfaces and sharper front end make paint color matter more than before, because there are fewer lines and creases to distract from it.
2027 BMW 320 Sedan Colors
Alpine White
Alpine White is the only non-metallic color in the lineup. It is bright, clean and classic, the white long associated with BMW. The black wheels, roof and lower trim contrast sharply against it, which makes the car’s lines easy to read. It suits buyers who want a crisp, timeless look.
Mineral White
Mineral White is a metallic finish. It is a softer, more refined white than Alpine White, with a slightly richer look in sunlight. It suits buyers who want white with a more premium feel.
Black Sapphire
Also listed as Sapphire Black, this is a metallic black. In the right light it takes on a deep, glossy character, and it gives the car a formal, serious look. Dark paint shows dust, water spots and swirl marks more easily, so it suits buyers who don’t mind regular washing.
Brooklyn Grey
Brooklyn Grey is a modern grey with real character that shifts with the light, looking calm in shade and sharper in the sun. It suits buyers who want something understated but not boring.
Polarised Grey
Polarised Grey is a metallic finish, and it first appeared on the BMW iX3. It is a contemporary, understated grey that keeps the attention on the car’s shape rather than the paint. It suits buyers who prefer a quiet, modern look.
Space Silver
Space Silver is a metallic finish. It is a bright silver that highlights the curves and creases of the bodywork, with a clean, technical feel. It also tends to hide light dust well, which makes it practical for everyday use.
Fire Red
Fire Red, which is also listed as Vegas Red, is a metallic finish. It is the boldest warm color in the lineup and gives the car a sporty, high-energy personality. It is hard to miss wherever it is parked, and it suits buyers who want to stand out.
Eucalyptus Green
Eucalyptus Green is a metallic finish, and it debuted on the BMW iX3. It is a rich, earthy green with a refined feel, and a distinctive alternative to the usual greys and blacks. It suits buyers who want something unusual that still looks classy.
Ocean Wave Blue
Ocean Wave Blue is a metallic finish, and it also debuted on the BMW iX3. It is a deep, fresh blue with plenty of depth, looking calm from a distance and more vibrant up close. It suits buyers who want color without going too loud.
M Le Castellet Blue
M Le Castellet Blue is a metallic finish. It is a saturated blue with a clearly sporty personality, and the most eye-catching shade of the lineup. It suits buyers who want the car to feel special and performance-minded.
Bonus: Frozen Space Silver
Frozen Space Silver is expected from March 2027 with a matte look. Matte paint needs different care from gloss, so check maintenance advice before ordering.
