The Best Used 3 Series of All Time

Over the years I\'ve bought everything from E30s to most recently an E61. And the one thing that holds true with all used cars is that the simpler the better. Not just for reliability but also when it comes to driving engagement. And that\'s why the 3 Series has always represented the best choice when it comes to used BMWs. Yet not all 3 Series are created equal when it comes to the used market. So follow us through the years as we look at each of the five generations of 3 Series and how they appeal as used cars.

Video: Old School Alpinas

We will not apologize for loving the old school BMW driving experience, the E30 M3 and M535i before it- but there may be a few cars out there that are BMW based and tuned to perfection that sit on the same pedestal. Those cars would be from Burkard Bovensiepen, the founder of Alpina.

BMWUSA.com Launches the 320i Configurator

Since the launch of the F30 3 Series we at BF have bemoaned the fact that BMW rid itself of the option and package structure that had been around for decades. No sport package and a lack of stand alone options was a shock to many BMW fans and hopeful 3 Series owners. Especially the enthusiast set. And now we have the 320i - not only a throwback in name but also in options and packages.

Counter Steer: Comparing Apples to Oranges

There was a time when BMW was the standard for driving sedans in any variety offered, from base model on up to top of the line ///M versions. For better or worse that time has passed. A side effect of that makes comparing today\'s models to those of yesteryear a bit unfair, the market has changed and the cars have changed along with the wants of the buying public. However there is a way to make the tendency to compare present to past more reasonable.
