There is no official BMW Nepal price list, and recent listings by grey importers show used or reconditioned BMW 3 Series generally advertised well above NPR 1 crore, so exact figures depend on the year, variant and dealer.
That figure is what owners quoted, not our price. See the verified price for each variant.

“People ask about BMW and Audi prices but when they see how much tax pushes a basic 3 Series over a crore, they decide it’s not practical for Nepal.”
