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 relatively fuel-efficient. The 3-series 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 3-series continues to be rear-wheel drive based, which does wonders for the car's weight distribution and handling, allowing the car to drive like a far more athletic vehicle despite its somewhat humble (but still stylish) 4-door shape.
