A refreshed exterior, an extensively modernised cabin and the latest advances in digitalisation and equipment ensure the new BMW 3 Series has all the tools necessary to continue its worldwide success story.

With a history of more than 45 years, the BMW 3 Series represents the core of the BMW brand. Since the original BMW 3 Series of 1975, more than 16 million units have been sold, with over 1.1 million customers since 2019 alone. In 2021 the BMW 3 Series was the market leader in its class in the UK, Germany and China, and accounts for around 14 per cent of the brand’s vehicle sales worldwide.

For the new BMW 3 Series Saloon and BMW 3 Series Touring, a newly designed cockpit with BMW Curved Display and the latest-generation BMW Operating System 8 bring ground-breaking modernity and digitalisation to the interior. All variants of the new BMW 3 Series now come as standard with an eight-speed Steptronic Sport transmission with gearshift paddles on the steering wheel and a newly designed selector lever.

Offered in a choice of Sport and M Sport specification in the UK, additions to the standard equipment increase the appeal of the new BMW 3 Series, while a restructured optional equipment line-up makes it easier for customers to individualise their car according to their preferences.

The new BMW 3 Series is available with a choice of four petrol engines, including one plug-in hybrid variant, and two diesel engines, both with mild-hybrid technology. At the top of each model line-up sits a pair of BMW Performance models from BMW M GmbH, meaning the new BMW 3 Series can be ordered with outputs from 184hp to 374hp. BMW xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive comes as standard on the range-topping models, and is an option on selected variants.

Production of the new BMW 3 Series Saloon and BMW 3 Series Touring will begin in July 2022 at BMW Group Plant Munich and BMW Group Plant in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Available to order at BMW Retailers from today, pricing will start from £36,670 RRP.
