BMW India has silently introduced a Sport variant of the 3-Series sedan priced at Rs. 41,70,000. This variant is powered by the same 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 255 BHP @ 5,000 rpm and 400 Nm @ 1,550-4,400 rpm. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

The 7th generation 3-Series was launched back in 2018. At launch, only the M Sport trim was offered with a petrol engine. Compared to the M Sport, the new Sport variant is cheaper by Rs. 6.80 lakhs. The car is also sold in the Sport and Luxury line trims with the Diesel engine.

In February 2020, the German carmaker had also launched the Sport variant of the 5-Series at Rs. 55.40 lakh.
