To put it mildly, the 3 Series is a big deal for BMW, and the stakes are high as it gets set to debut its next generation. What was for a long time the brand’s bread-and-butter model is no longer THE face of the company. But now, BMW intends to so a full reset, and it has released details about the new M340i variant that will debut in LA.

BMW will be one of the busiest players at the show this year: it will also be presenting the convertible version of its 8 Series, back in the lineup after a multi-year absence, and the new edition of the popular X5 compact SUV. That one just may be eclipsed by its big brother, the X7 SUV, also making its debut.

Fans will also get to check out the futuristic Vision iNext concept.
