The 2022 BMW 3 Series is one of the best compact executive sedans in the world. Armed with two powerful and refined turbocharged engines, it's both fast enough and sublime to drive thanks to that brilliant chassis. Either RWD or xDrive AWD drivetrains are offered, but all versions use a slick-shifting eight-speed automatic gearbox.
Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, three-zone automatic climate control, power-adjustable front seats, a ten-speaker sound system, Bluetooth connectivity, frontal collision warning, a power sunroof, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. The M340i and M340i xDrive additionally come with an aerodynamic kit, an M rear spoiler, and darkened Shadowline exterior trim. These six-cylinder models also feature larger screens for the central infotainment and the digital driver's display.
A range of upgrades are offered for the 2022 BMW 3 Series. On 330i variants, the Convenience Package includes features like comfort access keyless entry and four-way power lumbar support for the driver's seat for a cost of $650, but you can only spec this in conjunction with park distance control ($200). The $2,250 Premium Package includes a head-up display, heated steering wheel, gesture control, and more, but requires the $700 Driving Assistance Package, which adds lane departure warning, active blind-spot detection, and park distance control. On the 330i and 330i xDrive, the Shadowline exterior package costs $400 and adaptive M suspension, $700. The price of the Dynamic Handling Package varies, depending on which features you take, including different wheel choices, M Sport brakes, and an M Sport differential.
Unique to the M340i is the $2,400 Cooling and High Performance Tire Package with superior cooling for the drivetrain and braking system, high-performance tires, a mobility kit, and the entire M Technology Package included. Both six-cylinder models have their own Premium Package, but it costs less than on the 330i models due to the differences in standard features.
All new models can be optioned with Icon LED headlights with Laserlight technology ($1,000), adaptive M suspension ($700), and remote engine start ($300). The Harman Kardon sound system ($875) can only be optioned on the M340i.
