The 2001 BMW 3 Series is part of the iconic marque's fifth generation. It's available as a 2-door convertible, 2-door coupe, 4-door sedan, or 5-door wagon. Each model features a rear-wheel-drive setup powered by a wide range of engines starting with a 184-hp 2.5-liter inline-6, up to a power-packed 333-hp 3.2-liter inline-6 in the M3 variant. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard, with automatic as an option. Top-tier models offered sport packages with advanced suspension and performance settings. Inside, the 3 Series is replete with high-quality materials, bolstered seating, and a detailed dashboard. The on-board infotainment system includes AM/FM radio and a CD player, although by modern standards it may be considered sparse. Safety features include ABS, stability control, and multiple airbags.
