- Sweet-spot year: The 2025 model has the most listings at a current average price of $40,691. The BMW 3 Series offers a premium driving experience with engaging handling and a polished, businesslike cabin.
Consider waiting if:
- Powertrain/efficiency: The 330i uses a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system, while M340i xDrive and M3 models have inline-six engines; output is 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
- Tech: BMW Operating System 8.5 (iDrive 8.5) features a new Home page with three primary information panels and QuickSelect access, and you can use the 14.9-inch infotainment touchscreen, iDrive controls, or BMW Intelligent Assistant voice recognition.
- Safety: The Driving Assistance Professional Package adds Active Driving Assistant Pro, which includes Steering Assistant, Lane Change Assistant, Evasion Assistant, and Extended Traffic Jam Assistant.
- Starting price: You can buy a brand-new BMW 3 Series for less than $49,500.
If you're buying used today, the 2025 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
