Overview

The BMW 3 Series M is the G20 LCI 2 compact executive sedan, launched in 2025 and sold in Malaysia in M340i xDrive M Sport Pro form. It suits drivers after a five-seat petrol sedan with 387 hp, all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox. Prices start from RM392,800.

3 Series M in 2026 — what's new

No 2026-specific BMW 3 Series M update is recorded, so the G20 LCI 2 carries into 2026 unchanged. The current Malaysian range remains a single M340i xDrive M Sport Pro sedan. It uses a 2,998 cc petrol engine producing 387 hp, sends drive to all four wheels and has an automatic transmission. The only recent 3 Series M headline is a 2018 G20 M Sport spy report, not a 2026 model change.

Verdict

The M340i xDrive M Sport Pro sits well above the starting prices of the Tesla Model 3, BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, but below the BMW i4 M50, Alfa Romeo Giulia and Mercedes-Benz AMG C-Class. Its appeal is specific: a five-seat petrol compact executive sedan with 387 hp and all-wheel drive. Buyers seeking an electric car are looking at a different proposition.
