BMW's 2027 lineup includes directly comparable gas and electric sedans built with similar power and styling: the gas M350 xDrive starts at $65,900, while the electric i3 50 xDrive starts at $61,500, before destination charges. BMW says the i3 travels 468 miles on a full charge with fast charging that adds 208 miles of range in 10 minutes, while the gas model's range is roughly 450 miles per tank.
BMW has begun taking US orders for its redesigned 3 Series, built on the new Neue Klasse platform, which now includes a fully electric i3 alongside two gasoline variants. The launch electric model, the 2027 i3 50 xDrive, is all-wheel drive with 463 hp and an estimated 446-468 miles of range, using a new cylindrical-cell, cell-to-body battery pack. BMW plans to later add an i3 M60 xDrive and its first fully electric M3 with four motors.
Circular has launched its Ring 3 series, succeeding last year's Ring 2, in two versions: a titanium Pro model retaining ECG-based AFib detection, and a lighter Slim model using biocompatible epoxy but lacking ECG tracking. Both rings add vibrating alerts for alarms and reminders and an NFC chip enabling contactless payments directly from the ring.
