The BMW 3 Series E46 is a compact executive car produced by BMW from 1998 to 2006, replacing the E36. It was the fifth generation of the 3 Series and was available in sedan, coupe, convertible, wagon (Touring), and hatchback (Compact) body styles. The E46 generation was a significant departure from its predecessors, featuring a more rounded and modern design with a focus on comfort and luxury. It was also the first 3 Series to be offered with a diesel engine option. The E46 was significantly praised for its handling, performance, and interior quality. It was also a very popular choice for enthusiasts and tuners, thanks to its relatively affordable price point and the availability of aftermarket parts. The E46 offered a variety of engine options, ranging from the base 1.8-liter four-cylinder to the powerful 4.4-liter V8 in the M3 model. The E46 was also notable for its innovative features, including the first use of run-flat tires on a production car and the introduction of the iDrive infotainment system. Despite its age, the E46 remains a popular choice for drivers seeking a sporty and refined driving experience. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its lasting qualities and its place in BMW's history.
