The BMW 3 Series Gran Limousine has undergone a refresh for 2025 and is now available in India, starting at Rs 62.60 lakh (ex-showroom). The model, previously known as the 'Gran Limousine,' will now carry the 'Long Wheelbase' (LWB) badge. This updated version introduces several changes, including a price increase of Rs 2 lakh over its predecessor.

Exterior

The exterior of the 2025 BMW 3 Series LWB retains its signature kidney grille and bumper design. However, the LED headlight signatures have been subtly revised. The car measures 4,819mm in length with a wheelbase of 2,961mm, providing ample rear seat space. New Aluminium Satinated trims and a gloss black rear diffuser enhance its look.

Interior Enhancements

Inside, BMW claims improved fit and finish for the cabin of the updated 3 Series LWB. The interior trim now features an Aluminium Rhombicle Anthracite finish. A new flat-bottomed steering wheel and redesigned air-con vents are part of the updates. Ambient lighting includes an illuminated contour strip behind the front seats.

Features

The feature list remains consistent with the previous model, offering a 14.9-inch BMW Curved Display infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. Other features include electrically adjustable seats with extendable thigh support, a panoramic sunroof, six ambient lighting options, and tri-zone automatic climate control with active carbon filters.

Engine Specifications & Performance

The new 3 Series Gran Limousine is currently available only in the petrol variant, specifically the 330Li M Sport trim. It is powered by a 2.0-litre twin-turbo petrol engine delivering 258hp and 400Nm of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels, allowing it to accelerate from 0-100kph in just 6.2 seconds.

Safety features include BMW's Driving Assistant ADAS technology with blind spot detection, lane change warning, and collision alerts. The vehicle also comes equipped with six airbags, cornering brake control, dynamic stability control, and an electronic parking brake with auto hold functionality.

Price Comparison with Competitors

Priced at Rs 62.60 lakh (ex-showroom), the new BMW 3 Series LWB is positioned above its predecessor by Rs 2 lakh. It competes against models like the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class in India’s luxury sedan segment. Local manufacturing continues at BMW's Chennai facility.
