BMW announced updates for its 3 Series lineup this week. The German luxury automaker’s 3 Series sedans are getting a mild-hybrid system regardless of powertrain, new steering wheels, and an updated infotainment system.

The high-performance M3 and its variants won’t gain hybrid assistance. Most will keep the same power headed into 2025. The M3’s turbo inline-6-cylinder engine keeps the same 473 horsepower output, and rear-wheel drive (RWD) versions of the high-output M3 Competition keep their 503 horsepower rating.

But the all-wheel-drive (AWD) M3 Competition xDrive gets a 20-horsepower increase for the new model year. BMW says the change comes from “optimized configuration of the digital engine control unit.”

The 2025 M3 will start at $76,995, including the mandatory $995 delivery fee. It will appear in dealerships in July.

Designers give all M3 variants a subtle styling update for 2025. But you’ll miss it if you don’t look closely. Changes include “newly designed LED headlights, which bring together low and high beam in a single module.”

A new, flat-bottom, 3-spoke leather steering wheel is the only significant change inside. The two curved display screens now run version 8.5 of the BMW Operating System, which, the company says, features a new home screen for faster access to the most commonly used functions.

All prices include the mandatory $995 shipping fee – still one of the auto industry’s lowest, even though these cars come all the way from Munich.
