What’s New for the 2026 BMW 3 Series in Fairfax, VA?
The 2026 BMW 3 Series remains one of the top-performing BMW sedans in Fairfax, VA, blending thrilling performance with refined luxury and cutting-edge technology. For the new model year, the 3 Series carries over unchanged, continuing its legacy as a benchmark in the compact luxury sports sedan segment. Two trims are available: the 330i and the M340i.

It comes standard with rear-wheel drive, though all-wheel drive is also available. The M340i offers a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six with mild-hybrid technology for drivers seeking even more exhilaration.

A forward-leaning stance and aerodynamic profile emphasize its sporty character, while sculpted side contours and an upward-trending character line enhance its sleek silhouette. At the front, a bold kidney grille is flanked by slim dual LED headlights and an angular fascia for a commanding presence. The 330i comes standard with 18-inch wheels, rain-sensing wipers, and heated, power-folding mirrors. Meanwhile, the M340i elevates its appearance with a sportier front bumper and a rear spoiler for added flair.

Safety is a priority, including forward collision mitigation and advanced driver-assist systems. Available upgrades enhance convenience and peace of mind with options such as a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, blind-spot warning, front cross-traffic alert, evasive steering assist, and active lane-keeping.
