First launched in 1975, the BMW 3 Series has since come to define the sporting compact executive segment of the car market. All five 3 Series generations have focused on unrivaled driving dynamics, powerful yet economical engines and the most advanced car technology of the day. When an industry segment becomes eponymous, the success of that car is evident - and the 3 Series is just such a car. The 3 Series has been on Car and Driver magazine’s annual Ten Best list 19 times, from 1992 through 2010, making it the longest running entry in the list.
