Updates to the 2025 BMW 3 Series sport sedan have been announced as it enters its seventh model year. While the changes may be minor, they are still significant and cover various aspects of the vehicle, from the exterior to the engine. One of the key updates is the inclusion of a 48-volt mild-hybrid assist in every powertrain option.
The introduction of the mild-hybrid assist brings a noticeable boost in performance, particularly in the M340i model. With the addition of an electric motor, the M340i’s output increases to 386 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque, compared to the previous 382 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque. It’s interesting to note that despite this increase in power, the 0-60 mph times remain unchanged.
In addition to the powertrain updates, BMW also claims to have made several chassis changes to enhance the driving experience. Although details are scarce, they did mention stiffer rear shock mounts and lighter steering tuning in Comfort mode as notable improvements.
Moving on to the exterior, BMW has followed the customary practice of introducing new wheel and color options for the 2025 model year. Inside the vehicle, more updates can be found, such as a new two-spoke steering wheel for the 330i model and a flat-bottom three-spoke wheel for both the M340i and 330i with the M Sport package. The dashboard has also received slight tweaks, including new ambient lighting around the center air vents. Furthermore, the infotainment system has been updated with new menu structures for easier access to functions.
Interested customers can expect the 2025 BMW 3 Series to be available this year, with production for the U.S. market starting in Mexico in August. The pricing for both models, including the $1,175 destination charge, is as follows:
– 330i: $46,675
– M340i: $60,775
Overall, the updates to the 2025 BMW 3 Series offer improved performance, enhanced driving dynamics, and a refreshed interior. With the inclusion of the mild-hybrid assist across all powertrain options, BMW is demonstrating its commitment to efficiency and sustainability. The chassis tweaks and updated infotainment system further contribute to a more enjoyable and user-friendly driving experience.
As automotive enthusiasts eagerly await the opportunity to test drive the 2025 BMW 3 Series, it remains to be seen how these updates will truly translate into real-world performance and customer satisfaction. Nonetheless, BMW’s dedication to continuous improvement and attention to detail is evident in these updates, ensuring that the 3 Series remains a top contender in the competitive sport sedan segment.
