The BMW 3-series is now in its seventh generation, though the high performance M3 carries over from the sixth generation. The entire range still stands out for being athletic, responsive and fun to drive, as well as fuel-efficient. The BMW 3-series typically represents the quintessential sports sedan, with far better handling and peppier performance than the equivalent front-wheel drive mid-sized car. Sticking with tradition, the BMW continues to be rear-wheel drive based, which does wonders for the car's weight distribution and handling.
