The BMW 3 Series is getting some mild updates for 2025, though nothing major aesthetically. The biggest update takes place under the hood, with the introduction of an updated 48-volt hybrid system.
The new system will enable the M340i's 3.0L turbocharged in-line 6-cylinder engine to offer, according to BMW, “sharper power and greater efficiency”. The powertrain gains 4 hp and 29 lb-ft of torque thanks to an improved version of the 48-volt hybrid system. Total power now stands at 386 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque.
There are no changes to the output of the 330i's 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Power remains at 255 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.

Otherwise, BMW worked on improving the 3 Series’ chassis dynamics. For example, stiffer mounts connecting the shock absorbers to the body should improve ride quality, making it more “refined”. Also, in Comfort mode, the steering will be a little lighter.
On board, the 2025 3 Series receives the newer iDrive 8.5 multimedia interface available with other models like the i5 electric sedan. The interface enables real-time updates over the air. The new system features customizable widgets, while the redesigned home screen permanently displays navigation system information.
New M alloy wheels (19-inch), two steering wheel options and two new colours are also on the list of changes for the coming year.
