The automotive world is buzzing with news of new images for the 2023 BMW 3. The talk is about facial improvements that will affect the overall appearance (and performance) of the ride. With pictures popping up on social media and the internet, it’s no surprise that everyone is talking about them.
2023 BMW 3 Updated plans
The current Beemer 3 series has been around since 2018. So, it’s unusual for Beemer to actually be planning a new design for the 2023 model. Some say Beemer is likely to prepare for its major upgrades soon enough.
2023 BMW 3 Exterior Change
It is quite a surprise that the new 2023 BMW 3 does not come with the large grille, as used in the 4 Series. It looks like the 3 Series will stick with the smaller design and share a similar design with the 2 Series Coupe. There are other changes to the front as well, including a new bumper with redesigned vents (just below the headlights) and also a larger air intake. It is believed that such an arrangement provides better cooling power for the front brakes.
The headlights miss the small line, which happens with the current model. The daylight will run into the top of the lighting assembly and look stylish and modern with a rear spoiler and side mirror (carbon fiber effect). The overall effect looks a bit sporty.

2023 BMW 3 Possible Interior
Again, there’s no word on specifics of the interior updates, but new trim and upholstery options should come. It would be impossible to change the exterior while keeping the interior the same, right?
Changes are also likely to improve technologies. It’s possible that Beemer will include the latest infotainment system, iDrive 8.0, on this trip — just as they did with the i4 and all-electric iX. The iDrive has a center display (14.9 inches) and also a driver display screen (12.3 inches).
2023 BMW 3 Engine and performance
With rolling updates on the physical areas, 2023 BMW 3 engine should also get updates. After all, Beemer is determined to try out the completely redesigned project so they can make it along the way. There’s no detailed information on the engine lineup, but you can expect many variants from it, including petrol, diesel and possibly hybrids. It might have a slightly bigger impact, with mild hybrid assistance for the four-cylinder petrol engines. The current diesel line already has six-cylinder petrol mild hybrid technology. As for power output, it is expected to produce from 184 hp to about 374 hp.

2023 BMW 3 Release date and price
Since the company hasn’t said anything about the upcoming third series, many car enthusiasts and experts are predicting that the official release will likely be in 2022, early on. On sale, it can start as late as the same year. Because of the updates, prices are likely to go up. The base can start around $38,200 while the top price is around $40,000. Since Beemer remains silent on his 3 Series car, we will have to wait for more information on the 2023 BMW 3.
