Many may remember, the BMW 3-Series celebrated its 40th Birthday last year.
Carfection (formerly XCAR), takes us through a [brief] walk down memory lane of this legendary line of cars that has inspired generations of daily-driven fun.

I had one of the first new 3-series in the US in 1977

The best part is when the guy says that E92 is not a good looking car. I think he might need new glasses.

Great review. I have for a very long time, since a child, wanted a BMW. I agree with the sentiments of the video, attainable dream car....and I finally have it. I feel grateful to finally own one and an M3 at that.

I respect all of your preference about the past gen designs..
I too owned E90 before and currently own E70. However, I don't like the current design language of BMW and am looking at Mercedes as they seem to be more similar to Exx generation design language.. The only thing that's holding me from switching brand is the handling department.. I am one of the few guys who miss Bangle's designs.. |

Hopefully WAY before another 40 years available as all electric.
I wonder if at some point people will start up conversion shops, I'd love to have my ZHP back as an EV, only if its 50/50 weight distribution was not disrupted though.

We didn't have the 323i in the states, but I saw plenty in Europe. The 6 cylinder was really nice

As an owner of an e92 and f30, this guy is blind. Even other people comment on the fact that my e92 looked nicer on the outside. Brits seem to like boxy and angular though.

Coming from an E92 owner, I will say that with or without the BMW spoiler, the back is just lovely. As is the whole car. Very simple lines with a timeless design.
