The colours are Arctic Race Blue metallic and Fire Red metallic, with the latter exclusively available with the M Sport option. Models equipped with the M Sport package (optional on 330i models, standard on M340i) receive new 19-inch M alloy wheels, while the newest BMW Individual 19-inch alloy wheels in Y-spoke design (Style 1038i) with a dual-tone design are available across the board.

Inside, the 2025 BMW 3-Series receives more updates, including a redesigned two-spoke steering wheel for the 330i and a flat-bottom three-spoke steering wheel for the m340i and 330i with M Sport package. The dashboard will also get new ambient lighting surrounding the air vents and a revised infotainment system with simplified menu structures to make functions simpler to reach. The new 3 Series features BMW iDrive and QuickSelect, now based on BMW Operating System 8.5.
