3 Series M in 2026 — what's new

Verdict

The 3 Series brief is still the familiar one: compact executive size with handling, performance, practicality and styling kept in balance. The LCI brought minor upgrades, but the cabin is less user-friendly than before. The M340i xDrive M Sport Pro adds serious output to that base formula, though at RM388,800 it sits above the regular 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class entry prices.
