The redesigned headlights and taillights, along with new wheel designs, give the car a more modern and aggressive stance. Inside, the cabin is upgraded with higher-quality materials and the latest digital interfaces. The iDrive 8 system, featuring a curved display, combines a 12.3-inch instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch control display for a seamless and intuitive user experience.
Enhanced Performance and Powertrain Options
BMW has fine-tuned the powertrains of the 2025 3 Series, offering increased power and improved efficiency. The engines are more responsive, providing a thrilling driving experience that remains a hallmark of the BMW 3 Series. Additionally, the integration of mild-hybrid technology in certain models contributes to better fuel efficiency and smoother power delivery.
Powertrain and Driving Experience
The 2025 BMW 3 Series offers a greater variety of drive systems than any other model range in the brand’s portfolio. The lineup includes four petrol and four diesel engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, plug-in-hybrid technology, and the BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel-drive system.

These engines come equipped with mild hybrid technology for enhanced power delivery and efficiency .
Plug-in Hybrid Enhancements
The plug-in hybrids, BMW 330e Sedan and Touring, now feature a new high-voltage battery with 19.5 kWh of usable energy, resulting in significantly longer electric ranges. This allows the 330e models to cover 53-63 miles on electric power alone, depending on the variant. The high-voltage battery can be fully recharged in just 2 hours and 15 minutes using a three-phase AC charger, a first for BMW plug-in hybrids.
Greater Electric Range for Plug-in-Hybrid Models
The condensed line-up consists of the BMW 330e Sedan and BMW 330e Touring models, both available with a choice of classical rear-wheel drive or BMW xDrive. Their drive technology comprises a four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor integrated into the eight-speed Steptronic transmission, which generate a combined system output of 292 hp. The switch to a new high-voltage battery with higher energy density enhances efficiency and electric range, without compromising interior space or fuel tank capacity.

The chassis technology of the new BMW 3 Series has been further refined to enhance both sportiness and comfort. Updates include a stiffer mounting for the rear dampers and improvements to the steering system.
