The BMW 3-Series has been given a facelift inside and out for 2022, with the M340i xDrive topping the range -
has been given a mid-cycle refresh ahead of the summer, introducing aesthetic and tech updates that bring the popular saloon and estate into line with its newer range siblings.
Changes to the exterior include the usual combination of updated front and rear bumpers, new headlights and some fresh wheel designs. The look is certainly more contemporary, and takes cues from the BMW i4 with its sharper surfacing and graphics. The optional adaptive headlights also introduce new-look daytime running lights that we expect to be rolled out to various new-generation models in the coming months.
To accommodate the new screens, the dash has been completely redesigned, with thinner air vents and the removal of the physical air conditioning controls that previously sat between them. This reduction of controls is also visible in the centre console, where the physical gearstick has been replaced by a notch-style selector as already seen in the iX and new 2-series Active Tourer.
The rest of the 3-series is largely unchanged from the current model, with the UK to receive the same spread of powertrain options as before, made up of four-cylinder 320i, 320d and 330i models, a plug-in hybrid 330e and six-cylinderand M340d flagships. Of these, all models are available with or come standard with xDrive all-wheel drive, and all variants are eight-speed automatic only.
Prices in the UK will start at £36,670 for the entry-level 320i Sport, rising to £52,965 for both of the M Performance models. These tech changes will be applied to M3 models in quick succession, with the new Touring and CS variants expected to share the new dash when they’re revealed this summer.
