Munich. The BMW Group will launch the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, the sixth  generation of its most important high-volume model, in early February  2012. We are confident that the new BMW 3 Series will build on the  tremendous success of its predecessors, said Chairman of the Board of  Management of BMW AG, Norbert Reithofer, at the world premiere in Munich  on Friday. More than 12 million models from this series have been sold  since the first generation was launched in 1975. That makes the BMW 3  Series the world's most successful premium vehicle, added Reithofer.

The  new BMW 3 Series Sedan will reach markets worldwide on February 11,  2012. The sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series is the sportiest car in  its segment and offers sheer driving pleasure at the highest level,  commented Reithofer.
