In terms of looks, the new BMW 3-series comes with a sharper and a more aggressive design. It features a larger kidney grille up front with sleek headlamp units on either side. BMW does offer Laser light technology while also featuring L-shaped LED DRLs. At the rear, the new BMW 3-series comes with a sharp looking wrap-around LED tail lights, similar to the ones on the 5-series. This gives the rear profile the appearance of having a much wider stance as well.

The new 3-series also receives the brand's Hofmeister kink design cue, which is placed on the sedan's C-pillar rather than on the door. The new generation sedan also comes with Rolls Royce inspired self-levelling hub caps as well.
