Updates are fairly limited for the 2025 BMW 3-series—which is no surprise, considering the last facelift came in 2023. BMW has revealed the specs and details for the standard sedan, including new power figures for the turbocharged inline-six and new software for the infotainment system.
The biggest changes for the updated 3-series concern the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six , which has been upgraded for “sharper power delivery and greater efficiency,” according to BMW. The already potent powertrain delivers an additional four horsepower and 29 pound-feet of torque thanks to a revised version of the 48-volt hybrid system. Total output stands at 386 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque.

The less powerful 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the 330i carries over with no performance changes, according to the manufacturer. Don't be fooled, though: the lively four-cylinder still puts out a respectable 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
BMW says it has put the new 3-series through “intensive development work” to improve chassis dynamics. Stiffer chassis mounts connecting the dampers to the body are said to help improve ride quality, while steering effort in Comfort mode is now lighter.
Inside, the new 3-series incorporates 8.5" iDrive interface , also used in newer models such as the electric i5, and supports over-the-air updates. The new system features customizable widgets, while the redesigned home screen constantly displays the navigation system.

Along with two new steering wheel options, a pair of new paint colors—one red, one blue—and a new set of 19-inch M wheels for the 330i round out the rest of the changes for 2025. U.S. prices start at $46,675 for the entry-level 330i and go up to $62,775 for the top-of-the-line M340i xDrive.
The versions of the new 2025 BMW 3-Series models in Greece may differ from those in the US and certainly the prices due to taxes, duties and other factors. Although the exact prices have not been officially announced for the Greek market, we can give an estimate based on the prices of previous models and the new technological additions.
