2023 BMW 3 Series - Perfect Compact Sports Car
Few vehicles are as important in BMW's lineup as the enduring 3 Series. There's a refreshed model for 2023 striving to keep it competitive in the luxury sports sedan segment, offering a few changes on the outside offset by a substantial interior update. Additional technology in the form of BMW's iDrive 8 Operating System makes the most of the sedan's new cockpit.
Let's take a quick look at what's new on the outside. Considering recent BMW vehicle debuts, one might view the 2023 3 Series refresh as rather conservative. You won't find split headlights or a deep-drive grille, though the lower grille on the fascia is bigger. The corner vents are redesigned with a distinctive L shape, which is mirrored in the LED elements of the new headlights. The notches on the bottom of the lenses are gone, with the corresponding sharp body lines on the fascia significantly toned down. The kidney grille is a bit wider, and the overall result is a cleaner face versus the outgoing model.
You'll find a similar motif at the rear, though far less dramatic. Taillights retain their overall shape but are slightly thinner. The redesigned rear fascia incorporates more L shapes with vertically-oriented reflectors set into black housings. They taper downward, meeting at the base with exhaust outlets on each side. Other exterior touches include special retro-style BMW Motorsport roundels on the hood, trunk, and wheel caps for M340i models, honoring the 50th anniversary of BMW M.
The big news for this refresh comes inside with a glass dash makeover, and it's far from conservative. As expected, the 3 Series gains a massive curved display that seamlessly blends the driver instrument panel with the center infotainment screen. The driver gets 12.3 inches of digital real estate for vital information, with a 14.9-inch screen holding station in the middle. The glass cockpit required changes to the central dash, where you'll find slimmer vents and relocated climate control functions. Moving to the center console, the shift selector for the eight-speed automatic transmission is now replaced with a much smaller toggle lever.
Along with the snazzy new greenhouse comes more tech, specifically with the sedan's iDrive system now running OS 8. BMW says the graphics and menu structure incorporates a smartphone-style appearance, with functionality making more use of voice commands. There are more digital features for driver and passengers to access, including the cloud-based BMW Maps navigation system, which is standard in all 2023 3 Series models. 5G connectivity is also available, with up to 10 digital devices able to connect and use it.
Under the skin, you'll find the same powertrain options from the outgoing 3 Series. That includes the turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine in the base 330i, making 255 horsepower. It's paired with electricity in the 330e plug-in hybrid for 288 combined hp. The M340i ups the ante with BMW's turbocharged 3.0-liter I6 making 382 hp. The 330e and M340i are available with the automaker's xDrive all-wheel-drive system, and for 2023, 18-inch wheels are standard across the board.
BMW isn't ready to talk price for the new 3er just yet. By comparison, the 2022 330i starts at $42,445 and the M340i is $55,695, including destination charges. Expect updated pricing closer to the 2023 BMW 3 Series market launch in the US, currently slated for July.

BMW has always been a very different car, in my opinion the best in the world.👍❤🌹🙋♂️
Absolutly Right. Since I grow up, it were all Time the same as HERE starting the "new class" so as at this Point in this Moment: BMW makes all Time includet their Group (Mini-RR) a Difference in their Vehicles against the Rest...
What a🚗 beauty 💖😍 One day I will have a car like this🕊️🕊️🕊️
most beautifull BMW I have ever seen.
Killer LCI from BMW. Front end looks awesome and the interior is the best in the business. Best in class by a mile just got better.
Super Aufnahme, warum war der matt blaue nur so kurz zu sehen ?
can someone say what is the song? I like it

Una delle più belle BMW di sempre!! Design eclatante e riuscitissimo!!! ✌️💯

Bellissima!!!!!!!!!!!!
BMW has always been a different car in different series
Track?
really beautiful.
SUPER SUPER SUPER BMW !!!!! FROIDE AM FAHREN. 😍😍😍👍👏👏👏
Looks great better have a quality engine
BMW 😳
Beautiful car, except for the video screen instrument panel, and the absence of the gearshift. No thanks to the interior designers.
E90 to f30 was pretty awesome but this one is light years ahead of f30
I think 2020 and 2021 design is better
i think this is the best (exterior) bmw ever built, who agree?
Only at 4:44 is the standard base model visible... and only for about 4 seconds. This body variant is the most sold and most driven. All other vehicles are equipped with very expensive kits at extra cost. When presenting a facelift, one should be honest enough to put the base model in the foreground. It is clear that the M-packages look better... but it is window dressing and does not correspond to the reality of everyday life on our roads.

I always liked the 4 more then 3 for some reason.
Would be great if BMW made some kind of Volvo V60 Cross Country competitor, cause I like BMWs but I don't like SUVs, yet low combi car is not exactly what I am looking for.
The best car all over the world.
Munich coming round in the design department.....after half a decade of flying off the tangent 🙂
King car BMW
Hey!! Hey!! We finally have one beautiful wide screen. too!! Do U like it??,, ->Everyone : wow! look at this beutiful two screen!!
does this perfect car still have gasket oil leak issues? lol
I already wait 7 months for my g20….
Waiting times are getting crazy, I prefer to look for what’s readily available in the dealers inventory or even the used but almost new market, because waiting over a year for car is simply too much.
앞모습은 좋은데 뒷면 범퍼는 에바입니다
Der neue 3er BMW kommt zur rechten Zeit, designtechnisch Top. Ein Lichtblick nach der Palette der hässlichen SUV'S.
Me gusta bmw para wendy
hiện đại
Is 350 is better
That' screen display..what the effn hell!!! Smh
Nice car but the price is over exaggerated!!
Why copy merc infotainment?
Thank you ❤️, I wanted to say exactly the same thing. copies are always not well executed
👍
Too bad they’ve bumped the price sky-high….
Update: despite me initially liking this new 3-series more, I ended up ordering an Audi A4 40TFSI s-line fully loaded for LESS than my restrictive configuration of a 320i. Sorry Bmw, you’ve f*ck up :)
The large display is disgusting. I own the g20 variant and glad I didn’t wait for this one.
Looks ridiculous! Hate these stupid long screens.
i agree with you . but i also started to get adopted .
I actually like it but it's different I can understand you not liking it
Totally agree,still prefer physical dashboard
Seems to be a face lifted production without wow impact.
screen naaa))
Biggest 3 series ever
Good Lexus👌
대루등 같은거는 가로로 세로는 차 폭 쫍아 보인다
🧐😳😲👌👍
It’s sad because BMW has the exterior whilst Mercedes wins every time on the Interior.
3 series is not a compact sports car it’s a business sedan, compact sports car is the 2 series coup maybe even the 4 series coup although only compact in the US.
boring design well still better then the new 7 series :=)
"Compact"? LOL.
Audi A4 🔥🔥🔥
This currently new 3 series looks better than the current A4, but unfortunately the market structure here makes the 3-series not worth it as it’s about 25% (or more) expensive so they’ve lost my order this time :(
This can’t compare with new c class! Mercedes 4 life, samo nišan samo nišan brateeeee
Copyright off Mercedes
Bored...same design. After 3 years BMW is disappeared.
It has become a pig.
Another perfectly overpriced German car
