The 1.9-litre 318i, as previously, is no powerhouse but ride and handling are upgraded, along with a larger interior, especially in the back, and ever higher levels of safety. There are no less than eight airbags, along with further improvements to structural design. Impeccable quality and clever design abound. Model release date: 1 September 1998 to 1 October 2001 Did you know?On sale here from September, 1998, this current car is the fourth generation (or fifth, if you include the 02 series) BMW 3 Series.All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen Previous modelAlso available from 1992 as a convertible and from June 1996 as a two-door coupe, the E36 3 Series paved the way for the 316i Compact in 1995.
