The 3 Series front end features BMW's signature kidney grille with a low, wide stance. Standard LED headlights provide clear visibility, while available adaptive LED units add automatic high-beam assist.

The cabin centres around the BMW Curved Display, which combines a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen into one continuous panel.

The dashboard features soft-touch materials and available ambient lighting that illuminates trim strips and door panels. Front seats offer manual or power adjustment depending on model, with available heating and ventilation. SensaTec upholstery comes standard, with Dakota leather and Vernasca leather available as upgrades. The 50 Jahre Edition includes Merino leather upholstery as part of its exclusive content. Rear passengers have adequate legroom for adults, and the rear seats fold in a 40/20/40 split to expand the cargo area when needed.
