3 Series Sedan dimensions

As the diagrams illustrate, the new 3 Series is longer and wider than the car it replaces. Crucially for interior space, the new car's wheelbase, at 2760mm, is stretched by 35mm compared to the current car. In particular, there is more legroom in the rear. And for even better stability, front and rear tracks are 1500mm and 1513mm wide respectively, an increase of about 20mm.

At 4,520mm long, the new E90 3-Series is 30mm longer than the current model. It's a full 60mm wider, at 1817mm to the edge of the body, and virtually the same height, at 1424mm. So the new 3-Series will definitely be more spacious inside, and model for model, it'll be about 100kg heavier.
