2-Line Blurb

140-Character Blurb

<p>The 2026 BMW 3 Series looks like heralding the debut of an all-new generation of this all-conquering compact luxury sedan.</p>


Cons

Power, Ride, and Handling

Driving Impressions

<p>As the 2026 model year rolls around, we’re still anticipating the new 3 Series to offer a choice of turbocharged 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines. And maybe even a plug-in hybrid. Plus an awesome BMW M3 high-performance variant that we will review separately.</p>
<p>A typical 3 Series should also have a ride quality that’s composed and precise, while being comfortable enough for daily use. Just like the outgoing model.</p>
<h3>Fuel Economy</h3>
<p>One thing about the 3 Series that never fails to impress us is how its engines can be both muscular and fuel-efficient. The current 330i’s 4-cylinder engine makes a decent 255 horsepower yet achieves 29 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Even if BMW doesn’t push this particular envelope, those figures would remain perfectly respectable.</p>


Camouflaged Exterior

Exterior

<p>Similarly, we’re looking forward to seeing images of the 2026 3 Series without any camouflage. Or better still, catching it in three dimensions.</p>

<p>All we can say at the moment is that we can’t wait to get into the new 3 Series. When we do, we’ll tell you all about it.</p>

Is the YMM Reliable?

KBB Editors' Overview

<p>The outgoing 3 Series (the seventh generation) debuted for the 2019 model year, so it’s getting close to time for a complete redesign. Which was probably just the start of a headache for <a href="https://www.kbb.com/bmw/">BMW</a>. After all, when a car is as capable and well-respected as the 3 Series, how does one improve on a benchmark? We’ll get to find out at some point. In the meantime, let’s look at what we already know and make some educated guesses on what we don’t.</p>


Optional Equipment

Pricing - Dynamic

<p>We expect the 2026 BMW 3 Series to start at around $48,000.</p>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;">

<tr>
<td style="width: 50%;">3 Series</td>
<td style="width: 50%;">$48,000 (estimate)</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>&nbsp;</p>


Pricing - Static

<p>The main rival to the 3 Series is the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/mercedes-benz/c-class/">Mercedes-Benz C-Class</a>, which will be priced similarly to its Munich counterpart. The <a href="https://www.kbb.com/audi/a5/">Audi A5</a> will probably be close as well. Buyers hoping to spend a little less might want to check out the <a href="https://www.kbb.com/genesis/g70/">Genesis G70</a>.</p>
<p>Before buying an all-new 3 Series compact luxury sedan, check the Kelley Blue Book Fair Purchase Price to know what you should be paying. The previous generation’s resale values have been a little below average. Recouping more money when selling a vehicle can mean a bigger down payment and lower monthly payments on the next one.</p>


Pros

Quick New

Safety

Standard Equipment

Trims

Under the Hood

<p>As mentioned above, the new 3 Series will no doubt employ turbocharged 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines. Quite possibly augmented by mild hybrid systems. BMW discontinued a plug-in hybrid drivetrain for the seventh generation, but may well reconsider that choice this time around.</p>
<h3>4-Year/50,000-Mile Warranty</h3>
<p>BMW’s new-vehicle and powertrain warranties last four years or 50,000 miles, whichever happens first. This is typical among European luxury car marques. Roadside assistance is included for that period, with unlimited mileage. Scheduled maintenance is free for three years or 36,000 miles, which is not so typical.</p>
<h3>Safety</h3>
<p>The outgoing 3 Series wasn’t noticeably generous with its standard-issue driver assistance features. This may or may not change for the 2026 version. Nevertheless, standard equipment should include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, plus automatic high beams.</p>


What's new for

<p>This 2026 model should represent the start of a new generation of 3 Series. No doubt the tech will be fresh and desirable. There could also be an all-electric 3 Series, as BMW resurrects and reapplies the i3 name. We’ll review that separately. And we will update this review when more information is released.</p>
<h3>On-Sale Date</h3>
<p>Our best estimate is late 2025/early 2026.</p>
