Last year (2023 ), the seventh-generation 3 Series received its midlife updates right on schedule, and a redesign is rumored to arrive for the 2026 model year. As such, there are not any significant changes to the 2024 BMW 3 Series. It continues with turbocharged four- and six-cylinder gas engines and a turbocharged plug-in hybrid powertrain, each paired with rear-wheel drive or BMW's xDrive all-wheel-drive system. The high-performance M3 remains in the lineup but is reviewed separately.
If we sound lukewarm about the 2024 3 Series, know that we still enjoy getting behind its steering wheel, firing up its engine, and seeking out fun roads to explore. But this BMW faces more capable competitors than ever, which dilutes its appeal. For additional perspective on the 3 Series check out the Edmunds testing team's full Expert Rating of the car.
