BMW 3 Series Long Wheelbase 330Li Variant Delisted - What's Cooking?

In February 2025, BMW launched the updated 3 Series Long Wheelbase 330Li M-Sport variant at Rs 62.60 lakh ex-showroom. Now, on the official website of BMW India, this variant isn't showing, and the only visible one is the 330d M-Sport, which gets the diesel powertrain. So, why did the automaker take this step after reintroducing it just 2 months back? Let us try to figure this out.

If you're a die hard, Beemer fan, that you would have known, that earlier, this particular model was called Gran Limousine, just this year, company made it to Long Wheelbase, and re-introduced both petrol and diesel variants - with important feature updates, along with changing the interiors. In March, the automaker did launch the diesel verison, but now the petrol version - 330Li M-Sport isn't visible, and it seems like BMW has discontinued it.

To add more, the 330Li M-Sport was powered by a twin-turbo 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, mated to an 8-speed DCT, and the power figures were insane  258 PS and 400 Nm of torque, able to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds. Now, remember, this isnt a performance-oriented sedan, but a luxurious saloon ride made to experience luxury with ample legroom space. Still, it achieves these crazy numbers. However, the fuel efficiency of this was poor; after all, it's a petrol-powered car that puts out such impressive numbers, so you cant expect it to deliver both.

Available Variants

320Ld M Sport - Rs 62,00,000

320Ld M Sport Pro - Rs 65,00,000

Now, there is no offical clarification by the automaker nor it feels like an technical glitch but yes this variant isn't available on the OEM and things like this didn't happen for no reason. This could be as BMW wasn't witnessing any positive sales numbers, or the more popular choice among customers still remains diesel engine. Or, another reason could be, automaker giving this vehicle a slow death, and in coming months, completely discontinue it. Anything can happen, but now we can only assume things.
