BMW 3-Series 2024

Once a dominant vehicle in the compact sport-luxury car class, sales of the 3 Series have sagged as the market has swung toward crossover vehicles.

BMW styling generally progresses at a glacial pace but this latest iteration reflects greater change than the last few generations of the model. With a gigantic fascia opening as well as gashes at the lower extremities of the front end, the 3 Series does not present an elegant face to the world. Other than ad oddly placed “gill” at the base of the doors, the rest of the car is attractive enough.

The interior, thoroughly updated last year, features the wide and shallow computer tablet attached to the top of the dashboard. The rest of the cabin is visually calm with minimal physical controls with many functions run though the screen system. Good use of space allows four adults to travel in comfort. Attractive materials and good assembly quality.

The 3 Series can be powered by a variety of power units in Canada. The base car, the 330 ix, is powered by a 2L turbo four rated at 255 horsepower. BMW offers a PHEV version of the 2L marketed at the 330e. Power is rated at 288 horsepower and is combined with a 12 kWh power pack, with all-electric range stated to be 37 kilometers under ideal conditions. All-wheel drive is standard except for a single variant of the PHEV model. The top model, sold at the 340i, is powered by a 3L turbo inline six rated at 382 horsepower

Solid pricing is not available on the BMW Canada website but there is a big price jump to go from the 2L four to the 3L six.
