What’s New
Nestled into a redesigned dashboard, the touchscreen — which now runs BMW’s latest Operating System 8.5 software — takes cues from smartphone design and has a customizable home screen. A simpler menu structure allows drivers to access more functions with fewer screen pokes, and expanded voice recognition gives drivers hands-free control of systems including climate control and entertainment. Available augmented-reality navigation overlays arrows on top of roads in a camera feed shown either in the central screen or the available head-up display. The 2025 3 Series also gets new steering wheels, ambient lighting and interior materials.
Powertrain Specs and MPG
The 3 Series’ powertrains are untouched for 2025. The 330i still uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating 255 horsepower and 295 pounds-feet of torque, and the M340i is powered by a turbo 3.0-liter inline-six making 386 hp and 398 pounds-feet. An eight-speed automatic is the only available transmission, and both engines are offered with rear- or all-wheel drive.
EPA fuel-economy ratings aren’t available for the updated 3 Series, but they’re unlikely to change from last year’s figures. For 2024, the 330i was EPA-rated at 25/34/29 mpg city/highway/combined with rear-wheel drive and 24/33/27 with xDrive all-wheel drive. The M340i returned 23/31/26 mpg with either drive configuration.
