2025 BMW 3 Series

Compact Luxury Sedan

BMW 3 Series

Overview: Is the BMW 3 Series a Good Luxury Sports Sedan?

The BMW 3 Series, a compact executive car in production since the 1970s, is a quintessential luxury sports sedan known for its engaging driving dynamics, refined performance, and premium features. BMW has also sold other body styles over the years, but the coupe and convertible models from the 3 Series were transferred to the newly created 4 Series lineup in 2013. The wagon disappeared after 2019, and the five-door Gran Turismo (GT) was dropped a year later.

The current seventh-generation (G20), available from 2019 to the present, is offered only as a sedan. This overview also reflects the fifth (E90; 2006-2011) and sixth (F30; 2012-2018) generations. Regardless of the generation, the 3 Series delivers athletic handling and distinctive style at a relatively affordable price for a BMW.

Although not part of this overview, here’s a brief look at older BMW 3 Series generations (all years refer to U.S. sales).

  • E21: The first generation of the BMW 3 Series, produced from 1977 to 1983. It was available with a range of four-cylinder engines.
  • E30: The second generation of the BMW 3 Series, produced from 1984 to 1992. It includes models like the 316, the 318, the 320, the 323, the 325, and the iconic BMW M3.
  • E36: The third generation of the BMW 3 Series, produced from 1993 to 1998. It was available with a range of four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines, including models like the 316i, 318i, 320i, 323i, 325i, 328i, and the M3. This generation introduced the first 3 Series hatchback (the Compact) and the first 3 Series with a diesel engine (the BMW 320d).
  • E46: The fourth generation of the BMW 3 Series, produced from 1999 to 2005. It included models like the 316i, 318i, 320i, 323i, 325i, 328i, 330i, and M3. This generation also saw the introduction of the 3 Series Coupe and Convertible models, as well as the first 3 Series wagon (Touring).

Note: Equipment, features, and trims can vary by model year. Always confirm these details when looking for used BMW 3 Series cars for sale.

Key Features

The BMW 3 Series offers:

  • Compact sedan body style, with coupe, convertible, wagon, and hatchback versions available in specific years
  • Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive
  • Four-cylinder or six-cylinder powerplants (the 2008-2013 M3 had a V8)
  • Automatic or manual transmission (the G20 generation does not offer a manual)

Trims

The BMW 3 Series is available in several trim levels, which have varied slightly across generations. Recent trims include the 320i, 330i, 330e (plug-in hybrid), M340i, and the high-performance M3. Each trim offers a unique combination of features, performance, and luxury amenities, allowing buyers to customize their 3 Series to their preferences and driving style.

Comfort, Technology & Cargo

The BMW 3 Series interior showcases the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and technology. The cabin features premium materials, comfortable seats, and a driver-focused layout. The iDrive infotainment system keeps occupants connected and entertained. Available newer-generation features like a head-up display, digital instrument cluster, and gesture control add to the 3 Series' cutting-edge tech appeal. When it comes to safety technology, the 3 Series offers a comprehensive suite of standard and optional driver assistance features, depending on the generation. Cargo space varies by body style, with the 3 Series wagon being the most capable.

How It Drives

The BMW 3 Series truly shines in the driving experience. With a range of four-cylinder and six-cylinder engines, it delivers smooth power delivery and engaging behind-the-wheel encounters. The chassis is tuned to balance agility and comfort while crisp steering keeps everything under control. Available suspension upgrades further enhance the car's handling, making it a joy to drive on winding roads. Yet, even with its sporty credentials, the 3 Series remains a comfortable and refined daily driver.

Safety

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) awarded the sixth- and seventh-generation BMW 3 Series a top five-star overall rating. The fifth generation was not evaluated.

Reviews

BMW 3 Series reviews on Kelley Blue Book vary slightly among the recent BMW 3 series generations. The fifth (E90) and sixth (F30) editions have an average rating of 4.5/5. The current G20 generation dips to 4.2. All recent generations get high marks for quality, reliability, performance, and styling.
