The BMW 3 Series has always been among the company's lineup of signature models, and has been since 1975. Today, it accounts for roughly 25 percent of all BMW. The latest 3 Series has now made its way to consumers, and it doesn't disappoint. The current models aim to retain the brand's original image while giving it a more contemporary facelift both in terms of appearance and technology.
The 2015 BMW 3 Series will contain a more fuel-efficient engine with plug-in hybrid options available. Other modifications include new LED headlights, a 4G wireless network, and over-the-air navigation map updates. According to a press release by BMW CEO Ian Robertson, the 3 Series will continue to retain some of its beloved and trademark appearance, such as its double headlights and kidney-shaped grill.
The BMW 3 Series was the first model to offer styles beyond the standard sedan, with additional options including the Touring, coupe, convertible, the Compact, and the Gran Turismo.
In the U.S., the BMW 3 Series is largely credited as the model that propelled the automaker to prominent status among its North American consumers. The 3 Series was also the first BMW model that was released in China in 2003. Today, the country is the company's biggest market. The U.S. and China combined make up roughly half of all 3 Series sold. Since its inception in 1975, over 14 million 3 series models have been purchased.
