The
3-Series is BMW's best-selling line, with prices ranging from $20,000 to
$45,000. The lineup in the series ranges from the 318ti, the cute
little college-kid coupe to the 328i, a $45,000 convertible that is capable
of knocking the socks off any other convertible in it's class. There
is also the middle-range 323, which comes as a sedan or a coupe, and offers
everything one could ever need in a sports sedan. The new 3-Series
comes without the former best-seller, the 325, which is by far the most
seen BMW there is. Sales of this car numbered in the 5-million range
over it's 20-some year span. Suggested alternatives for these German
sports cars include the Audi A4, and the Mercedes-Benz
C-Class. All information given is for a 328is.
