BMW 3-Series

The current-gen 3 Series has been carrying on with small tweaks here and there for quite a while. It continues with both petrol and diesel options, both being 2.0-litre, four-cylinder units. There is also the more performance-focused M340i, with a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder unit. However, a new-gen 3 Series is likely to make its global debut in 2026, with Neue Klasse-inspired styling, while retaining the powertrains from the current-gen car. There will also be an all-electric version as well.

BMW 3-Series Latest Update

Last Updated on 25th June'25: BMW has recently delisted the 330Li variant of the 3 Series Gran Limousine from its Indian website, sparking speculation about an upcoming update. While no official statement has been made, this move suggests that a facelifted version or a new variant lineup could be in the pipeline. Currently, the 3 Series Gran Limousine is still offered in both petrol and diesel options, and the recently launched M Sport Pro Edition continues to be available at Rs 62.60 lakh (ex-showroom).

Great Sporty Experience

I’ve really enjoyed driving it, and I’m only changing the car to try a different brand. Since it’s a sport model, it has excellent power and is great to drive. It’s a single-owner vehicle, driven only by me, and has been kept in excellent condition.
