The BMW 3 Series is among the most sought-after sedans from the German automaker in the Indian market. Its Long Wheelbase (LWB) version has recently received a MY25 update at Rs 62.60 lakh (ex-showroom), commanding a premium of Rs 2 lakh over the MY24 version. Currently, it is available in a sole 330Li M Sport petrol variant, with a diesel version likely to be introduced in the near future.
