The new 2006 BMW 3 Series is all about design. Carrying the look down from the 7 Series and 5 Series, the 3 Series now follows closely in their footsteps, but with careful sculpting and softening the result is more pleasing to the eye. The 3 Series has always dominated its class and now with this redesign it’s better than ever. Depending on which model you choose, you can get a 215-horsepower or 255-horsepower engine with either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.
