BMW 3 Series Vs Lexus ES 350h FAQs

The current BMW 3 Series in its premium spec (M340i xDrive) is priced at ₹ around 75 lakh ex-showroom. Depending on your city, add registration, insurance, state tax etc., which can push the on-road price (Delhi or similar) to around ₹ 80 lakh or more.

The 3 Series’ top petrol version (M340i xDrive) uses a 2,998 cc inline-6 turbocharged petrol engine. It delivers around 368-370 horsepower and 500 Nm torque, with 0-100 km/h sprint time in roughly 4.4 seconds.

The M340i xDrive version gives about 13.02 kmpl (ARAI) in combined driving.

If you drive 10,000 km/year, fuel cost (M340i) will be ~ ₹ 82,300.

Routine service (oil change, filters, inspections) for a BMW sedan like 3 Series can cost ₹ 50,000-₹ 1,00,000+ per service depending on variant & parts needed (especially for imported or premium components). Wear items like brakes, tyres (premium), suspension components cost more than average sedans. Insurance: Because the on-road value is high (Rs 70-80 lakh), insurance premium will be high: likely ₹ 1-2 lakh/year or more, depending on coverage, driver record etc. Other costs: spare parts from BMW, malfunctions in electronics, servicing from authorised centres only—adds cost and waiting times.

Safety features include 6 airbags, LED headlamps, ABS + EBD, Electronic Stability Programme (ESP), Traction Control, Hill Start Assist etc.

Yes, but with caveats. If your routine includes highways or open roads, you’ll enjoy performance, stability, and comfort. In city traffic, low speeds, stop-go etc will reduce mileage, increase wear & tear. Also servicing + fuel + insurance cost adds up markedly. If you accept that and budget properly, 3 Series can be a very satisfying daily sedan. If your budget is tight or roads bad, might feel expensive to maintain.

Luxury / premium sedans (especially import or higher spec) depreciate steeply in the first few years in India. BMW brand helps, but maintenance history matters more.

The luxury sedan is available in two distinct variants: Exquisite and Luxury.

It features a 2.5-litre (2487 cc) four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine.

It is a self-charging strong hybrid electric vehicle (SHEV) that seamlessly switches between electric and petrol power.

The sedan delivers an impressive certified fuel efficiency of 22.5 kmpl.

It features a front-wheel-drive (FWD) system coupled with an electronically controlled continuously variable transmission (e-CVT).
