BMW has introduced the 2025 3 Series Long Wheelbase (LWB) in India, with the price being set at ₹62.60 lakh (ex-showroom). The new model comes with understated design upgrades and enhanced tech without compromising on premium comfort. For now, BMW sells the sedan only in petrol-burning 330Li M Sport variant, and a diesel model will be available later.
Exterior Maintains Its Elegant and Sporty Looks
BMW has left the exterior of the 2025 3 Series LWB very similar to the facelifted version from 2023. The car is available in the M Sport trim as a standard, which makes it more sporty. There are four bold color options—Mineral White, Skyscraper Grey, M Carbon Black, and an Arctic Race Blue that comes as a fresh addition.
The sedan still has its signature design cues, such as angular LED headlights, a menacing front bumper, and a streamlined silhouette. The extended wheelbase adds to the car’s road presence without sacrificing its luxury sedan charm.
Interior Upgrades Raise Comfort and Technology
BMW has added subtle but meaningful changes within the 2025 3 Series LWB. The center console boasts new redesigned air-conditioning vents and incorporated ambient lighting, further elevating the feel of the cabin as premium. The M Sport model also adds a flat-bottom steering wheel, presenting a sporty touch.
The infotainment system is built around BMW iOS 8.5, which has improved graphics and a smart voice assistant. The system adapts to user behavior over time, making the driving experience all the more personalized. The digital driver display and infotainment display continue to offer a unified and immersive experience.
Advanced Features for a Premium Driving Experience
BMW has loaded the 2025 3 Series LWB with a range of premium features. The sedan comes with keyless entry and a smartphone-based lock/unlock system, which makes it easy to access. A three-zone climate control system provides comfort for everyone on board, while powered front seats offer personalized support.
The panoramic sunroof gives a sense of greater space, while six-color ambient lighting provides a touch of sophistication. The sedan also features hands-free parking, 360-degree camera system, and advanced driver assistance systems for convenience and security.
Performance: A Perfect Balance of Power and Efficiency
Under the bonnet, the 330Li M Sport carries its trusty and potent 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine. This engine produces a whopping 254 bhp and 400 Nm of torque, providing a thrilling driving experience. An 8-speed automatic transmission transfers power to the wheels smoothly, maximizing performance and efficiency.
The extended wheelbase improves comfort for riding, so the 3 Series LWB is the best option both for city trips and highway rides. With direct steering and perfectly balanced chassis, the sedan presents a combination of luxury and sportiness.
Competition and Market Positioning
The 2025 BMW 3 Series LWB is a rival to the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 in the luxury sedan market. Although its rivals have impressive features, the 3 Series LWB excels with its longer wheelbase, sophisticated driving dynamics, and cutting-edge technology.
BMW has positioned the sedan for customers who want a balance of luxury, comfort, and sporty performance. With its combination of premium amenities and exciting driving dynamics, the 2025 3 Series LWB remains a benchmark in its class.
