It was available in a wide range of body styles including the classic sedan, a coupe, a convertible, and a wagon known as the Touring. Powertrain options ranged from economical four-cylinder engines to powerful six-cylinder units, including the iconic M3, which boasted a high-revving 3.0-liter inline-six engine.
