\"BMW 3 Series reviews, the most well written
The smallest of BMW\'s saloons, these rear wheel drive cars have been sold in various forms since 1975. The best ones have BMW\'s great six cylinder petrol engines, the four cylinder 316 models don\'t have the performance to do justice to the rest of the car although they are usually cheap. The thrilling M3 and Alpina models are ultra fast, but the 325 and 328 models aren\'t far behind for a lot less money. \"

Or even BMW 3 series:

\"With a history of being the original and definitive sporting Saloon, the BMW 3 Series offers even greater levels of performance and versatility. Five different styles bring the 3 Series concept to drivers: the sophisticated Compact, the dynamic Saloon, the versatile Touring, the performance Coupé and the exhilarating Convertible. Whichever style you choose, you won\'t be disappointed.\"
