2005 3-Series
BMW’s 3 Series is an automotive icon that is revered like the historic nameplates as the Chevrolet Corvette and Porsche 911. But while the Corvette and 911 are comparatively low-volume, the 3 Series is BMW’s best-selling vehicle every year. In 2005, the company celebrated the 30th anniversary of the 3 Series, a line whose outgoing generation includes convertibles, coupes, sedans and wagons. In June, BMW will release the fifth generation of its 3 Series sedan in the U.S.
