BMW 3 Series Saloon Lease

BMW describes its 3 Series as 'sporty, stylish, and splendid' - and with a winning mix of driving dynamism, timeless design and everyday practicality, it's hard to argue with that assessment.

The 3 Series Saloon sits in BMW’s range between the smaller 2 Series and larger 4 Series, the latter of which includes the all-electric BMW i4, and is also available to lease as the practical 3 Series Touring estate. There's a range of powertrains to suit all tastes, including fuel efficient plug-in hybrids.

A BMW 3 Series lease is a long-standing rival to the Audi A4, Jaguar XE, and Alfa Romeo Giulia, as well as the Tesla Model 3 if you’re looking for a battery-powered executive saloon.

The most recent update to the BMW Series in 2024 saw style tweaks that emphasised the saloon’s ‘sporting ability’, with larger air intakes, a new aprons front and rear, and more aggressive kidney grille.

Lease customers can also expect, as standard, BMW’s ‘M High-gloss Shadowline trim’ and 17-inch alloys.Meanwhile there’s a great choice of powertrains, supported by mild-hybrid technology, to ensure you get the right engine for you. The very latest plug-in hybrid BMW 3 Series Saloon also offers generous amounts of power as well as a range of up to 63 miles using electricity alone.

BMW ‘xDrive’ all-wheel-drive is standard on the range-topping models but can also be added as an option to other powertrains.

Standard-fit driver assistance and safety tech includes Front Collision Warning with brake intervention, Cruise Control with brake function and Lane Departure Warning with lane return.

About the BMW 3 Series

The BMW 3 Series Saloon was first launched in the UK way back in the late 1970s.

And while it might be a veteran of the leasing industry, the 3 Series has evolved and adapted to ensure it still leads the pack when it comes to premium, mid-sized saloons.

The 3 Series Saloon offers the best of all worlds to a wide variety of motorists. A 480-litre boot is plenty-practical while there’s a good choice of engines that’ll please everyone from families on a budget to pure-bred petrolheads.

As an all-rounder, the 3 Series Saloon is incredibly tough to beat.


Why lease a BMW 3 Series Saloon?

You lease a BMW 3 Series Saloon because you simply want a vehicle that will do anything you demand of it. It’ll never look out of place down the golf club, either.

Recently revamped and updated, the 3 Series Saloon is well equipped as standard, coming with the German manufacturer’s ‘Live Cockpit Plus’ interface with an eye-catching Curved Display, as well as a full suite of driver assistance and safety tech that includes front collision warning with brake intervention.

There’s also a powertrain to suit lots of different lease customers, from petrol and diesel 48V mild-hybrids to powerful plug-in hybrids.

Petrol engines are supported by mild-hybrid tech and have power of 184 hp with entry-level versions, or 374 hp with the adrenaline-inducing M340i xDrive models.

Plug-in hybrid

The ‘330e’ plug-in hybrid 3 Series Saloon has power of 292 hp, an electric range of up to 63 miles, and can also be leased with BMW’s xDrive all-wheel drive system. 

Which BMW 3 Series Saloon trim level should I lease?

BMW 3 Series FAQ

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 M Models. 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 latest plug-in hybrid model, launched in 2024, promises zero-emission driving for up to 63 miles per charge.

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 Sport and then go up to the sporty M Sport and M Models, which add a zippier driving experience and a more aggressive exterior look.
