Future Models Hinted by Upcoming BMW Chassis Codes

Check out these leaked chassis codes that hint on some future models that we may see from BMW. We know that BMW is moving to “G” prefaced chassis codes, as with the new G11 7 Series and G30 5 Series. So it’s no surprise to see that all upcoming chassis codes will start with “G”. The upcoming 3 Series will be called the G20-generation, with the G21 being the Touring (wagon) variant. Interestingly, the Chinese model 3 Series sedans will receive a G28 chassis code.

As for the BMW 4 Series, its second-gen model will be called the G22/G23. The former will be designated for the Coupe model and the latter will be the Convertible. What’s exciting about the 4 Series chassis codes we’ve received is that there seem to be two separate ones for the Gran Coupe and 4 Series Gran Turismo, the latter of which will replace the current 3 Series GT. The 4 Series Coupe will be a G24 and the 4 Series GT will be G26. This disproves the rumors of the models being combined.

This most recent BMW M3 was the first to ever have a different chassis code from the regular 3 Series. Rather than be an F30 M3, it’s an F80 M3 and that’s because it’s so significantly different than the standard car. It seems as if that will continue moving forward, as the upcoming M3 is supposed to be a G80. The BMW M4 will also be G82 and the M4 Convertible will be a G83.

This leaked information reveals that the 3 Series GT will be moving up to a 4 Series and the 4 Series Gran Coupe will thankfully be retained. The BMW M3 and M4 will continue the trend of using different chassis codes from the cars upon which they’re based.
