The IS leads the charge with its available Premium Triple-Beam LED headlamps, but the 3 Series adds a bit of flair with the available Icon Adaptive LED Headlights with Laserlight technology and blue design features, adding a truly unique style to your arrival.

Speaking of unique, the BMW 3 Series offers several ways to express your personality, thanks to its range of bold color options, including:

• Melbourne Red
• Phytonic Blue
• Sunset Orange
• Isle of Man Green
• Sao Paulo Yellow

Of course, you can also find a selection of timeless colors, such as Black Sapphire and Alpine White, if you prefer these classic selections.

All in all, the 3 Series is offered in around 20 different exterior colors. The Lexus IS, on the other hand, only comes in seven.

As you commute, stay entertained for hours, thanks to the Apple CarPlay™/Android Auto™ configuration that’s included with both sedans.
