3-series

Introduced in 1998, the E46 BMW 3-Series is the last of its line to wear a single model code for all its body styles: sedan, wagon, coupe, and convertible.

Debuting in 1991, the E36 BMW 3-Series is for many the seminal generation: not only wildly successful, but setting the styling template for its successors.

Debuting in 1982, the E30 BMW 3-Series moves the small, RWD car into the more mainstream sedan and wagon body styles, as well as the coupe and convertible.
