BMW 3 Series Lease
With a history spanning five decades, BMW describes its 3 Series as a core vehicle fundamental to the entire brand. A facelift in 2024 made the 3 Series even more tempting, with the latest models arriving with sharpened driving dynamics, an uprated interior and improved powertrains.

Plug-in hybrid versions of the BMW 3 Series are particularly attractive to company car customers, with a 19.5 kWh battery offering a range of up to 63 miles using electricity alone.
Elsewhere in the range you’ll find frugal petrol engines as well as a powerful 3.0-litre unit under the bonnet of the range-topping BMW 3 Series M340i xDrive.
Standard equipment across the range, for both the Saloon and the Touring estate, includes 17-inch alloys, parking sensors at the front and rear, three-zone climate control, and BMW’s ‘Live Cockpit Plus’ digital display integrated into the BMW Curved Display.
If you opt for the mid-level ‘M Sport’ grade, you’ll enjoy dedicated M Sport suspension.
And the latest BMW 3 Series should also prove exceptionally safe, coming as standard with sophisticated tech such as front collision warning with brake intervention and intelligent speed assist.
When it comes to rivals, the Audi A4 is an obvious alternative, while you might also want to consider the Skoda Superb, Alfa Romeo Giulia and the Peugeot 508.

BMW 3 Series Frequently Asked Questions
For years, the BMW 3 Series has been almost a default choice for those looking at premium, mid-sized family cars. There’s more choice on the market today, but the 3 Series remains a fantastic do-everything car, mixing driving fun, efficiency and/or performance and a premium feel with a wide choice of models and decent practicality.
You can choose between saloon or estate models, and there’s petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid power on offer.
The 3 Series range starts with the relatively relaxed and efficient models and goes all the way up to high-tech plug-in hybrid models and the hugely powerful M3 Competition. With a broad choice of trim levels in most models, that means monthly lease rates vary dramatically.
But one thing stays the same; because Select Car Leasing has market-leading links to the automotive industry, you can be confident that we’ll be able to offer you the UK’s most competitive rates, and plenty of special offers. Have a look at the full list of BMW 3 Series lease deals to see which one best suits you.
The 3 Series has always been a brilliant all-rounder, offering premium levels of comfort, performance and technology with family practicality, but without breaking the bank. Choose between the four-door saloon model or the estate Touring, which has a huge boot. If you want an efficient diesel or a zingy petrol engine then BMW has you covered, while the plug-in hybrid model promises zero-emission driving for more than 40 miles per charge. Then there’s the massively powerful, motorsport-derived M3 Competition, which is at home on a race track as it is on the road.
Independent safety organisation Euro NCAP tested the BMW 3 Series in 2019 and gave it the maximum five-star score. All models come loaded with some of the latest high-tech safety kit to help you avoid an accident and keep you safe if the worst happens. All models serve as family cars, so there’s plenty of space for adults and kids in the back, and a good-sized boot too. The boot in the Touring estate model is particularly large, which can be a huge bonus for families with seemingly endless child accessories.
Once you’ve decided whether you want a saloon or estate, you’ll need to pick a trim level. These start with the reasonably-specced SE Pro and then go up to the sporty M Sport and M Sport Pro Edition, which add a zippier driving experience and a more aggressive exterior look. Alternatively, the Sport Pro model keeps some dynamism to the 3 Series but with more of a comfort focus. Then there are the M Models, which are more performance-focused, and the hugely powerful, very fast M3 Competition Saloon at the top of the 3 Series range.
This is the 2nd car I have leased from Select. I have found the process easy to follow and have always found Aron Stevenson the leading consultant I have dealt with , to be very helpful and efficient .
Stephen Hood was outstanding in guiding me through the return of my old lease vehicle and finding me a fantastic new deal on a BMW. Very happy !
Callum my agent was very helpful and efficient. From start to finish he always kept me updated on developments and when we had a slight delay on the delivery date he was in touch with me constantly to update. My car spec is exactly what I ordered and as soon as it was delivered I received a courtesy call from Callum. I would highly recommend select car to anyone!
