BMW 3 Series

The 3 Series is BMW’s most important and influential model family, shaping the standard for the sporting mid-size class since 1975. More than any other model line, the 3 Series has expressed BMW’s driver-focused character, balanced driving dynamics and the idea of a car that combines sportiness with everyday usability. Each generation has introduced technical advances while preserving a clear design language and the brand’s characteristic dynamic feel.

This page features a range of 3 Series models from the E21 generation to the G81, including both regular versions and M models. Together, these cars reflect how the 3 Series has remained the central axis of BMW’s model range over the decades, combining compact proportions, sporting character, technical development and a broad model line into one of the most significant model families in the brand’s history.
