What Changed
The big news in the 3-series this year is the addition of a M3 sedan to the model lineup. The M3 sedan debuts as a 4-door model that is otherwise mechanically identical to the successful coupe. All 3-series models receive "freshened" styling. These styling changes include reshaped grille openings, new side-markers, and body-colored trunk grips. All 3-series models receive all-season traction control.
