Engine & Performance
BMW 3 Series leasing includes a choice of petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains, all paired with an eight-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
Most cars use BMW’s 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine. The 320i produces 184bhp and returns up to 43mpg (WLTP). The 330e plug-in hybrid combines a 2.0-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 292bhp. It accelerates from 0 to 62mph in 5.9 seconds and offers up to 62 miles of electric-only range (WLTP). CO2 emissions start from 19g/km, making it a strong option for a BMW 3 Series business lease.
The 3.0-litre straight-six engine is reserved exclusively for the M340i xDrive. This mild hybrid petrol unit produces 374bhp and 500Nm of torque, delivering 0 to 62mph in 4.4 seconds. It comes with xDrive all-wheel drive as standard and sits at the top of the regular 3 Series range, just below the BMW M3.
Diesel variants such as the 320d and M340d may be available from existing stock, although they are no longer available to order new. Availability will depend on current supply.
