The M340i, one of the first models in the range, became available for sale in the spring of 2019, with the 330e plug-in hybrid model scheduled for launch in 2020.[6] The 3 Series Gran Turismo fastback body style was discontinued for the G20 generation.[7]
BMW G21 models are exclusively assembled at the Munich plant. However, for this generation, BMW has also begun G20 production in Mexico for various world markets including the US, replacing the Rosslyn plant in South Africa where the previous F30 generation vehicles were assembled.[8]
