The 2003 BMW 3 Series, part of the model's fourth generation (E46), is a superb blend of performance, luxury and practicality. It's offered in several body styles: sedan, coupe, convertible, and wagon, each available in a variety of trims. It offers three engine options including a 184-hp 2.5L inline-six for the 325i, a 225-hp 3.0L inline-six for the 330i, and a high-performance 333-hp 3.2L inline-six for the M3. A six-speed manual, a five-speed manual, or a five-speed automatic are the transmissions available. Rear-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive (xi variants) as an option. Key features include stability control, six airbags, ABS, and optional navigation system. Though it lacks the latest tech, the 2003 3 Series is known for its smooth ride, athletic handling and classic design.
