Bmw 3 series
The BMW 3 Series is the Bmw company's top seller in the United States and a favorite in the marketplace for good reason: Bmw 3 series it's a well-built, premium compact vehicle endowed with world-class fit and finish, ample power, and a comfortable ride and handling trade-off that is unmatched by most cars at any price. No matter what Bmw 3 series model you choose, our editors generally agree that you'll be able to go about your weekday routine without feeling that you've sacrificed ride comfort for the sake of weekend thrills.
The current model, which represents the fifth-generation of Bmw 3 Series, is slightly larger, heavier and faster than the previous Bmw 3 series generations. An even better car overall, the latest BMW 3 Series has a bolder look, revised suspension and braking, more power and more interior space. It tends to cost more than the competition, but if you go easy on the optional equipment, we think you'll find that the price of admission is well worth it.No matter what year you're looking at, however, the BMW 3 Series remains the unequivocal "ultimate driving machine" and popular favorite in the entry-luxury category.
