A solid deal for a sports sedan staple
The BMW 3 Series has long been the brand’s bread-and-butter sedan, carrying the torch for luxury sport sedans for nearly 50 years. From its earliest days in the 1970s, the 3 Series balanced sharp handling with everyday usability, helping cement BMW’s reputation as the “ultimate driving machine.” Over the decades, it’s evolved into a more refined, tech-forward car, but without losing its driver-focused edge.
That combination has kept it competitive in a class packed with strong contenders. Rivals like the Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Genesis G70 push style, comfort, and tech, but the 3 Series continues to appeal to shoppers who want something that feels just as at home on a twisty backroad as it does during a long commute. This August, BMW is adding a little extra incentive to take the plunge.
Lease offers sweeten the deal
Shoppers can get into a 2025 BMW 330i Sedan for $479 per month on a 39-month lease, with $4,839 due at signing. For those who want the added confidence of all-wheel drive, the 330i xDrive Sedan is available for $499 per month on the same 39-month term, with $4,999 due at signing.
Both offers are further sweetened by a loyalty credit of up to $2,000 for qualified returning BMW customers, making the numbers even more attractive. Taxes, title, and fees are extra, but these lease terms help put a premium sport sedan within easier reach.
What’s new for 2025
The 2025 3 Series carries forward recent updates that keep it sharp in a competitive field. The sedan wears slim LED headlights, a modernized kidney grille, and available sport-styled accents that give it a sleek, purposeful stance. Inside, BMW’s curved display blends a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with a 14.9-inch infotainment screen running the latest iDrive software. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, as are advanced driver assistance features like lane departure warning and blind-spot detection.
Under the hood, the 330i continues with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels—or all four in the xDrive version—making for brisk acceleration and the kind of handling precision that has made the 3 Series an icon.
Why the 3 Series still matters
Luxury sedans may not sell in the same numbers as SUVs these days, but the 3 Series continues to carve out an important niche. Its mix of performance, refinement, and practicality keeps it relevant in 2025, especially with lease deals like these softening the premium price tag.
Final thoughts
The BMW 3 Series remains the benchmark sport sedan, and with August’s lease offers, it’s a little easier to justify putting one in the driveway. For shoppers weighing performance against value, this might be the right month to take a closer look at BMW’s classic.
