It was available in a wide array of body styles, including a sedan, coupe, convertible, and even a rare wagon variant for select markets. Under the hood, the E36 boasted a selection of powerful and efficient engines, ranging from the fuel-efficient 1.8-liter four-cylinder to the high-performance 3.2-liter six-cylinder M3. This versatility, coupled with its sporty handling and driver-focused design, solidified the 3 Series as a true icon in the world of luxury performance cars.
