BMW 3 Series unveiled with 443 HP M350 xDrive, Neue Klasse design, advanced dynamics, and a new Drift Mode feature.
BMW has officially lifted the veil on the next‑generation 3 Series, blending tradition with cutting‑edge innovation. The new lineup continues to offer four‑ and six‑cylinder engines, all equipped with 48V mild‑hybrid technology, ensuring efficiency without compromising performance.
At the heart of the range sits the BMW M350 xDrive, a powerhouse featuring a 3.0‑litre TwinPower Turbo inline‑six engine paired with mild‑hybrid assistance. Delivering 443 hp and 580 Nm of torque, it rockets from 0‑100 km/h in just 4.1 seconds, with top speed capped at 250 km/h. Adaptive M suspension, sport differential, and variable sport steering come standard, making it a true driver’s car.

One of the most headline‑grabbing innovations is the Drift Moment function, designed to make controlled sideways driving more accessible. Activated via the central display, it channels power exclusively to the rear wheels, transforming the sedan into a playful machine. What’s more, BMW plans to roll out this feature via Remote Software Upgrade in 2027, meaning even existing owners can unlock it post‑purchase.
Visually, the new 3 Series adopts BMW’s Neue Klasse design language, with a fresh take on the iconic four‑eyed front fascia, long wheelbase, and sporty proportions. Inside, the cabin debuts the BMW Panoramic iDrive powered by Operating System X, offering a driver‑centric digital experience.

Production of the new BMW 3 Series is set to begin in the second half of 2026, marking a bold step forward for one of BMW’s most iconic nameplates.
