Initially, I was going to talk astir nan E90-generation 3 Series arsenic being my favorite. I'm a existent Bangle head, and I've ever thought nan E90 is 1 of nan best-looking sedans BMW has ever made. The coupe, convertible and wagon assemblage styles look awesome too, and who doesn't emotion the V8-powered E90 M3? I besides almost said nan E21, nan first-gen 3 Series, arsenic it has truthful overmuch charm. And, of course, there's nan iconic E46 M3 GTR from "Need for Speed: Most Wanted," 1 of nan top racing games of each time.

But successful my bosom of hearts, my favourite 3 Series is simply a overmuch alien one: nan E46 Compact. We sewage the E36 Compact successful nan U.S. but were denied nan follow-up model, and that's a damn shame. It's astir arsenic silly arsenic BMW has ever gotten pinch 3 Series styling, and I conscionable adore its four-eyed face, pert rear extremity and information greenhouse, and nan truth that it's a hatchback. It came successful immoderate awesome colors, too, and pinch immoderate weird interior cloth and trim options. I don't really attraction astir really it drove (apparently well!) aliases really "good" it really was; each clip I spot an E46 Compact, aliases moreover conscionable a photograph of one, it makes maine grin. The Neue Klasse is giving it a existent tally for its money, though. Give it a twelvemonth aliases two, and I stake nan i3 will beryllium my easy favorite.
