The 3-Series is BMW's entry-level model in the near-luxury segment, offered in sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon versions. A descendant of the mid-'60s BMW 1600, considered by many automotive enthusiasts to be the first compact sedan to offer sports-car performance, the 3-Series has continued to be the benchmark of sport sedans. The 3-Series designation first appeared in America in 1977, and the car evolved from a boxy shape to a fluid, aerodynamic design. The 3-Series Sedan and 3-Series Sports Wagon were redesigned and updated for the 2006 model year, followed by the redesigned coupe and a new convertible with a power-retractable hardtop for 2007. Also for 2007, the first inline six-cylinder engine with twin-turbochargers, high precision fuel injection and an all-aluminum crankcase was introduced in the 335i, producing 300 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque.
The 2008 BMW 3-Series continues with minor updates. The 3-Series Convertible was redesigned for 2007 with a power-retractable hardtop for the first time, joining the already updated 3-Series Sedan and Coupe.
