BMW’s Iconic 3 Series Gets Four Fantastic Lease Deals This November

Despite the popularity of its SUV lineup, BMW’s 3 Series sedan has seen steady sales through the first three quarters of the year. Just like last year, the company has sold over 21,000 of them over this period, as a smaller but consistent percentage of buyers remain loyal to the classic sedan. Now deep into its seventh generation, the 3 Series is still one of the top contenders in its class, and if you want one, BMW is running a few appealing lease deals this month. These apply to both the 330i and M340i models.

This Month’s BMW 3 Series Lease Deals

The cheapest way to get behind the wheel of this sedan is with the 330i sedan in rear-wheel-drive form. The BMW 3 Series lease price for this model is $479 per month over 39 months, with $4,949 down. This deal includes a $1,000 loyalty credit, applicable to customers who have owned or leased a BMW at some point over the last 12 months. The offer requires that you take delivery by December 1, 2025.

Tax, title, license, and registration are excluded, but the lease for the BMW 3 Series includes 32,000 miles. If you exceed this distance, you’ll be liable for a fee of $0.25 per every additional mile. Here’s a look at the BMW 3 Series lease offers for all trims:

• 330i xDrive: $49,500
• M340i RWD: $61,700

BMW is also offering financing at 0.90% APR for up to 48 months for all four 3 Series derivatives.

Powertrains and Features

Two refined but punchy powertrains are available in the 3 Series. The 330i models have a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. RWD is standard and AWD optional, but both have an eight-speed automatic. Performance is good for a four-pot, with a 0-60 time of 5.6 seconds in RWD models and 5.4 with AWD.

Unlike its Mercedes C-Class rival, BMW still produces a six-cylinder 3 Series in the form of the M340i. It has a 3.0-liter turbo engine that produces 386 hp and 398 lb-ft of torque. Like the 330i, RWD is standard and AWD optional, while an eight-speed auto remains the only transmission. Performance in M340i models is much more exhilarating, with a 0-60 time of 4.4 seconds with RWD and just 4.1 with AWD; the latter time matches the base M3.

Now wider than an E39 5 Series, the G20 3 Series feels spacious and plush inside. At base level, the following features are all standard:

• 18-inch alloy wheels
• SensaTec upholstery
• Powered front seats with heating
• Dual-zone automatic climate control
• Power glass moonroof
• BMW Curved Display with 12.3-inch gauge cluster and 14.9-inch touchscreen
• Fatigue and focus alert
• Forward collision warning

M340i models have larger 19-inch wheels, an aerodynamic kit, and Shadowline exterior trim, giving them a sportier appearance. They also replace the open-pore wood interior trim with Aluminum Rhombicle Anthracite inserts. Performance-wise, the six-cylinder models add an M Sport differential, M Sport brakes, and an M Sport suspension.

Final Thoughts

The BMW 3 Series isn’t the cheapest car in its class to lease—you can lease a Genesis G70 from $409/month with $3,999 due upfront. However, many BMW customers are willing to pay a premium, and at this stage, the 3 Series is a remarkably complete package that doesn’t have any glaring flaws. Both the 330i and M340i are quick, refined, fun to drive, and comfortable enough. BMW’s vast experience in this segment—it has been building the 3 Series for 50 years, after all—is apparent, so if you don’t need the extra bulk of an X3, this is still a fine choice in the compact luxury segment.
