The BMW 3 Series (E36) is a compact executive car that was produced by BMW from 1990 to 1999. It was the third generation of the 3 Series, succeeding the E30. The E36 was available in a variety of body styles, including sedan, coupe, convertible, and wagon. It was also offered with a wide range of engines, including four-cylinder, six-cylinder, and eight-cylinder units. The E36 was a significant departure from its predecessor in terms of design and engineering. It featured a more aerodynamic and modern design, as well as a more sophisticated suspension and chassis. The E36 was also the first 3 Series to be offered with a four-wheel drive system. Perhaps the most notable version of the E36 was the M3, a high-performance variant powered by a 3.0-liter, 286-horsepower inline-six engine. The M3 was considered one of the best sports cars of its time, and it helped to solidify the 3 Series' reputation for performance and handling. The E36 3 Series was a critical and commercial success, and it helped to establish the 3 Series as one of the most popular luxury sports sedans in the world. Its impact on the automotive landscape is undeniable, as it cemented BMW's position as a leader in the luxury performance car segment.
