BMW Fanatics | The BMW 3 Series | E46 |
The E46 is the long awaited replacement for the very succesful E36. The E36 has been BMW's best selling model of all time, a car which would be very difficult to better. Though it may seem evolutionary at first sight, the car has many revolutionary features. Like its bigger 5 Series brother, The new 3 uses some lightweight aluminium parts for its suspension system. The all aluminium engines have been carried over almost unchanged.....the new 3 is sure to carry on the success of it's predecessor.......
