Overview Information

The 3-Series has long been the standard-bearer in one of the industry's most competitive segments. BMW offers an impressive combination of styling, performance, and luxury features for a German luxury coupe priced from the low thirties. Offered in RWD and AWD versions, the 3-Series model range includes multiple models with alphanumeric designations corresponding to their driveline. Most 3-Series models are powered by a inline six-cylinder engine which produces 230-bhp when normally-aspirated or 300-bhp when turbocharged. The ultimate 3-Series is the M3 which is powered by a V8 producing over 400 horsepower.

Despite the numerous improvements to the 3-Series, there are compelling alternatives available from Infiniti and Audi.
