Now entering its eighth generation, the BMW 3 Series remains the definitive staple of the BMW catalogue. While it continues to be a favourite for families, its appeal to company drivers has reached new heights in 2026 thanks to the launch of the all-electric i3 Saloon  and its class-leading tax efficiency. The standard non-electric BMW 3 Series (primarily the 320i and 330e PHEV) comes equipped with a high level of technology and comfort as part of its recent life-cycle updates including steering wheel gearshift paddles is standard across all models, rear-wheel drive and a passive suspension tuned for agility.

Your BMW 3 Series leasing questions answered

Leasing through us gives you the assurance of engaging with a company that's been building partnerships with funders and manufacturers for more than 2 decades. 

Leasing a 3 Series rather than buying one outright usually requires a much lower initial outlay than other methods, saving you money in the short term. The resulting monthly payments are fixed at the agreed rate for the entire duration of your agreement, meaning no nasty surprises. Vehicle depreciation isn't your concern either. Simply hand back the car at the end of the contract, free to look for a new deal. 

There are a number of reasons that leasing's a great choice for your new 3 Series. You’ll be able to pay a low initial rental and there’s no balloon payment at the end. You get a brand-new vehicle and all the benefits that brings (no wear to the car, manufacturer’s warranty, the latest of system and tech updates and no MOT for 3 years), and you can add a maintenance package to look after the car during your lease.

BMW is a premium brand known for producing cars that have lots of luxury finishing touches and the 3 Series is no exception. It’s packed full of high-quality materials designed for comfort and style.

The exact cost of a lease depends on a number of factors including; the deals available at the time from funders and dealerships as well as the specification you choose and the terms of the contract you're looking at. You’ll find our best prices currently available listed above for you.
