The BMW 3 Series is one of the most popular sedans in the world. But how does it compare to other vehicles? The 3 Series has been around for about 45 years and has always been a driver's car. It was originally designed as an affordable vehicle, but now also offers luxury features like leather seats and navigation systems. Let's take a look at what this vehicle has to offer!
The 3 Series has a long, rich history and is constantly being reinvented. Let's see what the BMW looks like over the years! When it was first introduced to the American market in 1965, the BMW 1500 had a base cost of $4345 (that's about $35K in today's dollars). For that sum, buyers got a two-door sedan with an 8.5:1 compression ratio and a 3.8L V8 engine that produced 116 horsepower at 5100 rpm and 177 lb-ft of torque at 3000 rpm. It was a quick vehicle with a 0-60 mph time of around 11 seconds — not bad for its day.
The sedan had drum brakes and was fitted with either a four-speed manual or three-speed automatic transmission, and the car's body was made from steel, though some models had aluminum doors to cut weight.
