    Being a model year refresh, the new 3 Series LWB doesn’t receive many visual tweaks. It still features the recognisable BMW kidney grille and the same bumper design as the previous model. Dimensionally, the 2025 3 Series Gran Limousine continues to measure 4,819mm long and offer a 2,961mm wheelbase, which grants it the most spacious second row seats in its segment.

    The updated 3 Series Gran Limousine also gets Aluminium Satinated exterior trims and a gloss black rear diffuser. Four metallic paint finishes will be available for the 2025 3 Series LWB, namely Arctic Race Blue, M Carbon Black, Mineral White, and Skyscraper Grey. The Portimao Blue metallic finish on the outgoing model will no longer be offered.

There’s a new flat-bottomed steering wheel, refreshed design for the air-con vents, and the ambient lighting area now includes an illuminated contour strip behind the front seats.

    Elsewhere, the 2025 3 Series LWB retains features like the 14.9-inch BMW Curved Display infotainment system, 12.3-inch all-digital instrument cluster, electrically adjustable seats with extendable thigh support, panoramic sunroof, six dimmable ambient lighting options, tri-zone automatic climate control with active carbon filters, and more.

    The safety suite of the 2025 3 Series LWB includes BMW’s Driving Assistant ADAS tech, which comprises blind spot detection, lane change warning, and collision alerts.

Much like the outgoing model, the 2025 3 Series Gran Limousine 330Li M Sport is powered by a 2.0-litre twin-turbo petrol engine producing 258hp and 400Nm. The extended sedan can despatch the 0-100kph run in 6.2 seconds, thanks to an 8-speed automatic transmission channeling power to the rear wheels.
