Technical Specifications
The BMW 3 Series 2021 comes equipped with a range of performance-enhancing features that ensure a thrilling driving experience. The base model, the 330i, boasts a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 255 horsepower and 294 lb-ft of torque. For those seeking even more power, the M340i ups the ante with a 3.0-liter inline-six engine delivering an exhilarating 382 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque.
Both engine options are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Additionally, the 3 Series offers the option of xDrive, BMW's intelligent all-wheel drive system, which provides enhanced traction and stability on various road conditions.
Modifications
Enthusiasts who are looking to add a personal touch to their BMW 3 Series can explore the various modification options available. BMW offers a wide range of M Performance parts, including aerodynamic enhancements, exhaust systems, suspension upgrades, and interior trim enhancements. These modifications not only enhance the performance capabilities of the 3 Series but also add a touch of individuality and style.
Furthermore, BMW also offers customization options through their Individual program, allowing customers to select unique paint colors, interior trims, and exclusive upholstery options to create a truly personalized driving experience.
Engine Versions
The BMW 3 Series 2021 offers two engine versions, catering to different performance preferences. The 330i features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, providing a balance between power and efficiency. It delivers impressive acceleration and ensures a smooth driving experience.
On the other hand, the M340i, with its 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, delivers sports car-like performance. With its increased power and torque, the M340i offers exhilarating acceleration and precise handling, making it a true enthusiast's choice.
Trim Levels
The BMW 3 Series 2021 is available in different trim levels, each offering its own unique features and performance enhancements. The standard 330i trim comes well-equipped with features such as LED headlights, 18-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen display.
For those seeking even more luxury and performance, the M340i trim offers features such as M Sport suspension, M Sport differential, and upgraded M Sport brakes. These enhancements not only improve the handling and performance of the 3 Series but also enhance its visual appeal, with M Sport body enhancements, larger wheels, and distinctive badging.

Inside the cabin, the 3 Series offers a driver-focused layout with premium materials and meticulous attention to detail. The intuitive infotainment system, coupled with advanced driver-assistance features, ensures a connected and safe driving experience.
When it comes to handling, the BMW 3 Series sets the bar high. With its near-perfect weight distribution, precise steering, and sophisticated suspension system, the 3 Series delivers exceptional agility and responsiveness on the road. Whether on winding country roads or bustling city streets, the 3 Series offers a refined and engaging driving experience.
Key Differences between Generations
If there were two generations of the BMW 3 Series produced in 2021, key differences between them would likely revolve around design updates, technological advancements, and performance enhancements.
For instance, the newer generation might feature a refreshed exterior design, including updated headlights, taillights, and grille design. It may also come equipped with the latest connectivity features and driver-assistance technologies.
Performance-wise, the newer generation could boast improved engine efficiency, enhanced suspension systems, and the inclusion of advanced drive modes for a more customizable driving experience.
While the key differences between two generations would be specific to the respective model years, it is certain that BMW's commitment to innovation and performance would shine through, further solidifying the 3 Series' position as a leader in the luxury compact sedan segment.
In conclusion, the BMW 3 Series 2021 continues to excel in providing luxury, performance, and cutting-edge technology. With its powerful engine options, range of trims, and customization possibilities, the 3 Series caters to a wide array of preferences. Its striking design and exceptional handling further enhance the driving experience, ensuring that the BMW 3 Series remains a top choice for luxury car enthusiasts.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
