At BMW of Stratham, we understand how busy you get around Stratham, Portsmouth, and Exeter. With such an active lifestyle, it’s nice to have a vehicle that you’ll enjoy driving around town.
The BMW 3 Series is a potential option, as it provides a smooth ride, sharp handling, and all kinds of creature comforts inside the cabin. We’ll go over all these characteristics in our BMW 3 Series reviews as well as in this brief guide to the 3 Series guide below.
Discover what this luxury sedan has to offer by clicking around our reviews. Then, be sure to contact us to see the car in person! Skip to browsing our 3 Series inventory right here if you’re ready to find yours.
The BMW 3 Series has two distinct engine options with impressive power ratings:
Plus, with that second engine, you can go from 0-60 MPH in just 4.1 seconds. The highway won’t know what hit it.
It’s also nice to know that the 3 Series can take on both the straight city streets and curvy back roads. This comes from the available M Sport suspension, which has been specially tuned for winding roads.
Furthermore, you can easily drive over slick surfaces thanks to xDrive. Under normal driving conditions, this available all-wheel drive system keeps to a 40/60 ratio between the front and rear wheels. The moment the road changes, that ratio will adjust to give you optimum traction. This process is done so subtly, you can just keep focusing on the road ahead.
While the 3 Series is a small sedan, it provides a large amount of room for people and cargo.
The vehicle seats up to five people and gives them 42 inches of front legroom and 35.2 inches of rear legroom. You get tons of cargo space, too, at 17 cubic feet. This is more than enough for shopping bags, camping gear, luggage, or other personal belongings.
It’s easy to store items, too, thanks to the standard 40/20/40 split fold-down through-load rear seats. Fold down part of the row to leave room for a passenger. Otherwise, push all the back seats down to give yourself maximum cargo capacity.
You can then load items quite easily with the available hands-free trunk-lid opening. Simply raise your foot under the rear bumper of the car. The trunk lid will open in seconds and you can quickly free up your arms and get going!
As you venture out to work or a weekend getaway, you can do so in the comfortable and stylish BMW 3 Series.
This luxury vehicle quietly shows its elegance through standard SensaTec upholstery and available Vernasca leather seating. Plus, with the available Open Pore Fine Wood Maple or Aluminum Tetragon trim, you can have a cabin that fully suits your personality.
The car is also quite intuitive, thanks to the way it’s set up. All the controls are exactly where you want them, like the ones for the iDrive infotainment system. There are also controls found on the 3-spoke sport steering wheel, making it easy to utilize the standard Bluetooth® wireless communication.
Then with iDrive, you get HD Radio™ standard for lots of extra radio stations to choose from. You’ll also get Apple CarPlay® in the base trim, which makes it easier than ever to use your favorite mobile apps while driving.
Between the dynamic performance, spacious cabin, and long list of features, the BMW 3 Series is ready for your everyday commutes. To better decide if it’s right for you, we recommend taking it for a spin.

Awesome customer service! Everyone is always pleasant and willing to do whatever it takes to make the customer happy!!
An outstanding experience with BMW Stratham’s service department! The entire staff was friendly and welcoming, especially Corey, who made certain all of my needs were met. Erik in sales also took the time to walk me through the new X5 and discuss end-of-lease options for my current vehicle. Both are outstanding ambassadors for BMW and made me feel like a valued customer. Service like this is what keeps me coming back to BMW—of course, having the best cars on the road certainly helps! I look forward to a continued relationship with my new BMW dealership!
Prompt and professional service—quite refreshing to see this level of personal attention and quality work consistently at Statham BMW
We brought our SUV here after a problem remained after having our transmission fluid replaced at BMW Westbrook. Noah and Adam were fantastic in navigating the complex reoccurring issue with our 2021 XB7. They had to work with BMW N.A. to remedy a second failed front differential in two years. Unacceptable BMW NA response but Noah and Adam fought hard to get resolution. I would absolutely bring my car back here again. Thank you Adam and Noah for trying to help the consumer when corporate failed to hit the mark!
Everyone at the dealership is friendly and helpful. The dealer that assisted me was knowledgeable and made me feel that I was testing a great vehicle. I look forward to the ongoing service and assistance the dealership will be working with me to maintain the car.
Cory went out of his way to listen to me. Check on and check out was super fast.
The service dept is incredible! Follow up impeccable. I purchased my last two new BMW’s at competitive dealerships. Follow up from sales wasn’t great. As far as service, I’ve never received better in my history of owning vehicles from BMW’s largest competitors.
Straightforward comprehensive service information from the service technician provided every time, allowing a decision about performing additional tasks immediately or holding off untila future visit.
Cory provided excellent customer service. Thanks Cory for taking care of all services issues! Keep it up!
Did my car service there, Excellent team, competitive pricing, just did what is really needed without inflating the bill
The experience at BWM Stratham was seamless and efficient. The technicians were clear about the service required and conveniently documented it on video
Great service Pawel is awesome Car was taken care of and cleaned Pricing is fair Highly recommended
Excellent experience as usual. Adam Webster, my service advisor, is always professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. I trust him.
Adam was fantastic to work with in the service department. Great communication he even stayed a few minutes late to accommodate us coming from Maine to pick the car up.
Pawel is incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and was wonderful to work with. I would return simply to work with him again. However, a staff member left the interior of my car dirtier than when it arrived, leaving black smudges on the smoke white leather and a lingering foul odor.
My Service Advisor, Cory Council, did an excellent job keeping me informed on the problem that my X3 had & what needed to be done to fix my car. The Service was completed as promptly, as promised. It was a pleasure working with Cory.
Great service representatives, Top of the list are > Adam Webster > Pawel Czyz There facility is just growing which is great!! Plus great vehicles!!

I went to pick up the vehicle and it had the flat tire light. they had my car for over a week. fix an electrical module issue that was causing lights to go on and replaced one of my tires yet inexplicably the flat tire sensor light is on when I picked it up. the service agent who was there said that he wasn't the one responsible for my car. he was just covering for him so he couldn't help me. he said to drive it for a few miles. see if it went off and then I could return it. I drove it for a few miles and an alert came on on saying TPM malfunction. I called service twice and no one has called me back
Did not let me know until late in day that they had to keep my car overnight for part. Dropped off car at 8:45 am, obviously did not get worked on until later in afternoon.. My service person very nice, They are not in a hurry to help you when you pick up car when the person who helped you with drop off is not there. Also for 500.00 one would think your car would get vacuumed out! That's pretty lazy.
The Sevice Dept did an excellent job determining what the issue with my X3 & made the appropriate correction. Love the mechanic’s video that shows what they check & what they suggest to be done.
I loved my experience at BMW stratham. I recently trade in my 2024 Chevrolet Equinox for the 2026 BMW x3 M Sport. Andrew from sales and Dakota from finance made this purchase process quick and easy without the long wait and hassle. Thank you for your help and getting me this new car! I love my new x3🙂
Best BMW dealership by far, service is impeccable. Techs are always helpful and have honesty.
I’m so happy with my new BMW M240i! A big thank you to Susan at BMW of Stratham for all her time and help throughout the purchase. I really appreciated having her assistance along the way and helping me get into a car I’m so excited about. BMW of Stratham is a great dealership, and I would definitely recommend Susan and their team to anyone looking for a new BMW. Thank you again, Susan, for helping make this such a special purchase!
It was a very good experience. The wait was comfortable and they didn’t push me to get things for my car that didn’t make sense but at the same time informed me of what eventually needs to be done.
Adam Webster is AWESOME! do not ever let him go and he deserves a raise!
I like that a loaner car is offered when you make service appointment. They also have a very good service advisor Adam. I always try to work with him.
Amazing customer service and quick work too! Super pleased with my experience and will definitely be going back!
Adam is great and communicated well. Mechanic gave good video of the car and mentioned what is necessary to be done. Always great to come back to this place for service or purchase. Service overall is great and the car was cleaned in and out! Thank you, Adam and the team for the great service!
I was called promptly when car was ready. They helped me out by ordering an accessory that was not available at the dealer and had it for me when I came for service apptment.
I brought my car.in for service with a loaner car. My wife went on my behalf and was going to wait. After I needed a part which had to be ordered, my wife came home with a loaner. Adam was our service manager and he is the best!!
I always receive great treatment at Stratham BMW. Adam Silvani is the best- available, patient and professional!
This dealership is legit! Very happy with the purchase, service, and results of my most recent car detailing that they completed. I recommend Pawel as a service advisor he did a great job.
Great experience overall, timely service, professional staff, reasonable price, will certainly use their services again!
I like BMW of Stratham and would recommend Corey to help you in the service department.

Very efficient and personable service team. Pawel was great as a service advisor and communicated well.
Friendly service, I didn't have to wait long. Quick and easy. Offered a loaner vehicle.
I moved from Illinois where I serviced my BMW’s for years. The customer service there was fabulous and I was a bit nervous going to a new place after 25 years. My worries were wasted as the client service by Cory was fabulous and the work on my car was phenomenal. I had new brakes, tires rotated and my car detailed and it is like new. Thoroughly impressed!!! My new favorite place!! Thank you!!!!
Pawel always goes out of his way to make things easy and get things right.

Good, friendly and professional service department that you can trust when getting work done on your BMW.
The service rep Noah was very accommodating and stopped by me about every hour to give me an update on progress and the mechanic Ken Deem was extremely knowledgeable about what needed to be fixed on my 760i. It had been in an accident and needed the electrical and suspension system checked over. No easy task!
The service and communication is always amazing. Cory who was my advisor was knowledgeable, kind and got my car done ahead of when I needed it.

Impressed with the meeting of the gentlemen within the service greeting area. Very friendly polite
Adam was a very helpful service rep who provided detailed explanations and videos to describe the service needs.
My car was repaired and I am very satisfied with that. Dealerships are very expensive. I did not use any of the BMW perks that were available, such as a loaner or pickup. I did enjoy the Military discount.
Great communication and top notch service from the team at Stratham BMW. Would highly recommend.
Susan did an excellent job and found the car I was looking for. Thanks again.

Andrew and salesman weee great. Finance manager should be fired for his high pressure outright lies. Terrible time cancelling unwanted extras for his commission. Still trying to cancel one
Everyone always very kind, helpful and knowledgable. Great communication. Dealership is always clean. They are usually on time with car being taken in and ready.
Had a great experience at BMW of Stratham. They completed multiple service requests while I waited, and I was on my way by lunchtime. They even informed me of an open recall item that I wasn’t aware of and took care of that at the same time! That was much more convenient than having to schedule an additional visit. Our service advisor Cory was courteous and professional.
BMW of Stratham went over & an over to accommodate me picking my car up & returning it when the service was done. I highly recommend their service department!
Great service at fair price. Appointment kept on time service updates received while I waited in comfortable waiting area well stocked with complimentary beverages and snacks.
I had an excellent experience with the dealership. My prior BMW x5 was purchased new less than a year ago and was totaled by a reckless driver hitting me. The thought of buying another car was pretty stressful, but I knew to reach out to Scot Murby since I had just worked with him less than a year ago.
I had a few things that were really important to me—the color, the driver-assist features, and the tow hitch—and I didn’t have the time to build something custom. Scot searched the country and was able to find a ... Read More Full review text opened.DealerRater - Apr 27, 2026

I had a few things that were really important to me—the color, the driver-assist features, and the tow hitch—and I didn’t have the time to build something custom. Scot searched the country and was able to find a near-exact match. He made the whole process very smooth and kept things moving quickly. He was also extremely responsive and even checked in on his days off!
Overall, I had a great experience and I would definitely recommend working with him.
I am fully satisfied with your service. I always remember my BMW service technician for their extraordinary job
Excellent service and communication between service advisor and the customer. I would recommend this dealership without reservation.
