Facelift and Transition to BN
A final facelift for the BM/BN generation occurred during 2016–2017, after which the BN series replaced the BM in 2016 and continued production until the model line ended in early 2019 in some regions.
Rare Parts Challenge for Early BM Models
Owners of 2012 and 2013 Mazda 3s equipped with a six‑speed manual transmission have reported difficulty finding a unique shifter component, as Mazda stopped producing that spare part.
