CarTell take
We haven't driven the 3 Series yet. On paper, next generation Neue Klasse 3 Series is due 2026 to 2027. This G20 LCI is nearing end of life, so factor resale timing into your decision.
Why consider it
- Still the dynamic benchmark, with sharp steering and a balanced chassis.
- M340i xDrive delivers a 4.4 second 0 to 100 km/h and the M3 Competition cracks 3.5 seconds.
What to know
- 320i base feels underpowered against badge expectations. iDrive 8.5 dropped the rotary controller, leaving touch only operation that is fiddly on the move.
Who it suits
Driver focused buyers who want the dynamic benchmark of the mid size luxury sedan segment. M340i xDrive is the pick for most enthusiasts.
