In addition to its well-regarded driving dynamics, handsome design and surprising efficiency, the 3 Series boasts the intangible but nevertheless enviable image of success for whoever is driving it. On the practical side, the wagon and Gran Turismo variants grant crossover-SUV-like cargo room and the nimble manners of a sedan.
The BMW 3 Series is no longer the de facto choice for up-and-comers. The latest Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the next-gen Audi A4 pack more technology and amenities. The 3 Series’ price tag has the tendency to soar, and driving purists bemoan this generations’ softening dynamics compared to past models.
