In July of 1975 at Olympic Stadium in Munich, the world was introduced to the very first BMW 3 Series. The 3 Series has since become the byword for ‘sports sedan’ and has embodied the very soul of BMW for five decades. Today, BMW marks this anniversary with a special, limited-edition 3 Series: the 2026 BMW M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition. The 50 Jahre Edition pays homage to 3 Series that came before with distinctive BMW Individual paint finishes taken from five previous generations. Inside, one of three tones of Extended Merino Leather – available on a 3 Series model for the first time in the US – is coordinated with the chosen paint color. An M Performance exhaust system and carbon fiber rear spoiler further distinguish the 50 Jahre Edition.

The M340i xDrive 50 Jahre Edition is offered in a single equipment profile – no additional options available – at an MSRP of $75,200 plus $1,175 destination and handling. Production has begun with deliveries expected to commence in the first quarter of 2026.
