| But the big news for this year is the new engine in the 2025 M340i models. It’s a 3-liter inline 6-cylinder with new 48V mild hybrid technology, paired with an 8-speed Steptronic Sport transmission. The hybrid system adds 11 more horsepower, giving you 386 total horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque. It can go from 0-60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. With xDrive, that time drops to 4.1 seconds. | At the top of the line, we have the 3.0-liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo inline 6-cylinder with M xDrive all-wheel-drive system. This powerhouse delivers 523 hp and cuts that 0-60 MPH to just 3.4 seconds. The lower trims still get plenty of power with a TwinPower Turbo 2-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that also gets a mild hybrid. You can expect 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque from it. |

While the engines provide raw power and brute force, the interior is delicate and refined. New for this year are two steering wheel designs. The driver is pampered even more with illuminated multifunction buttons that can control various functions. All steering wheels are also equipped with gearshift paddles.
The five seats are made of impeccable leather with temperature control and power adjustability. There is also plenty of space to stretch out, though not as much as in models like the 2025 BMW 5 series. The interior lighting has been updated, too. It now extends across the cabin, into the trim, and around the new air vents. This ambient lighting system gives you a choice of nine colors to customize to your liking. The lights can change based on what you’re doing. There are special light shows when you get in, leave, get a phone call, and more. |

The BMW 3 Series received a massive upgrade in 2022, so the 2025 exterior remains primarily unchanged for this year. The wheels have changed slightly, namely the 19-inch M alloy wheels in double-spoke design available in bi-color or Jet Black.
There are also two new exterior colors for this year. Arctic Race Blue is a grayish blue that gives a classy appearance. Vegas Red is a punchier and more vibrant color for more sportiness. As for the more unique BMW Individual shades, we see the arrival of Frozen Pure Grey metallic and Frozen Portimao Blue metallic. Beyond that, the 2025 BMW 3 Series retains what makes it recognizable. If we look at the BMW 2 series vs 3 series, you’ll notice the 3 Series has a more commanding presence on the road with its sleek sedan profile, bold kidney grille, and elegant body lines that flow from front to back. |

Technology is perhaps where the new 2025 BMW 3 Series shines the brightest. For starters, it gets an updated iDrive 8.5 infotainment interface with upgraded BMW iDrive with QuickSelect. QuickSelect is a rapid-access tech that gets you the functions you want in as few steps as possible.
The extended navigation functions include an Augmented View. The BMW Curved Display offers widgets to quickly make adjustments to temperature, seat heating, and more. Personalization is another big plus for technology. You can link the vehicle with the BMW ID and BMW App by scanning a QR code on your smartphone. All these features work through the beautiful BMW Curved Display. This combines a 12.3-inch driver display with a 14.9-inch center screen. |

| With great technology comes amazing safety features that could potentially save lives. BMW takes safety seriously with the Active Driving Assistant. This system can steer, brake, and speed up the car when you might not react quickly enough.
One feature called approach control warning with city collision mitigation helps prevent crashes at speeds under 35 mph. Other features are more about convenience, like the Speed Limit display on the dashboard. You can add options like the Parking Assistance Package. This helps the car park itself in parallel or perpendicular spots. |
