It has been two years since the G20/G21 BMW 3 Series got a facelift, and the German carmaker has now saw it fit to give the model an update for the 2024 model year. The bulk of the changes mainly involve the powertrains offered, although there are some minor styling tweaks worth mentioning.
Design-wise, the 3 Series appears pretty much identical to the facelift we saw previously and can still be had with the optional M Sport package or M Sport package Pro. New for 2024 are two solid and seven metallic paint finishes, the latter includes Arctic Race Blue and Fire Red. There are also new wheel designs to choose from, many of which are 19-inch units in a variety of finishes.
As for the interior, it comes with a revised steering wheel and the iDrive system with QuickSelect is now based on BMW Operating System 8.5. The Curved Display from the facelifted model is still present, but is now accompanied by cascade lighting integrated into the trim near the redesigned central air vents as standard.
For cars with the M Sport package, the sport seats now come with M Performtex trim, while alternative upholstery options to the basic fabric are perforated Sensatec and Vernasca leather. Meanwhile, the list of interior trim elements has been expanded to include CraftedClarity glass applications for a more premium look.
In terms of powertrains, plug-in hybrid models get a new high-voltage battery with 19.5 kWh of usable energy (up from 12 kWh). The eDrive Gen5 battery delivers more electric-only range (up to 101 km) and now supports three-phase AC charging at up to 11 kW (previously 3.7 kW), with a full charge taking two hours and 15 minutes. Diesel and M Performance models continue to come with 48V mild hybrid tech, and the full breakdown of the available powertrains is as follows:
