Since the all-new BMW 3 Series sedan was introduced to the US market in May of 2005, it has been honored as
"Automobile of the Year " by AUTOMOBILE Magazine, named to Car And Driver’s "10Best" Cars list as "Best
Luxury Sports Sedan" for an unprecedented 15 years in a row and proclaimed "World Car of the Year" by an
international jury of 46 automotive journalists. With its legendary combination of power, performance and
practicality, the successor to the world’s first sports sedan is, to many driving enthusiasts, still the best.
For 2007, the best sports sedans and sports wagons in the compact luxury segment receive new engines,
improved performance, new colors and interior updates.
