About to buy a new BMW 3series, but don't know when will the new design will come and what's the re-design schedule of BMW 3 series. If they are going to replace the 3 series next year with a new design, I'd rather wait for few months.

Btw, how often does BMW change their design? It seems it is not like the JAP cars that change the style every 4 years.

Any one can give any ideas? Thanks!

its about every 4-6 yrs.

Then any source about the new 3 series?

Right here guys:
