HISTORY历史
The swoopy third generation BMW 3 Series, with its aerodynamic bodywork and fared-in front headlamps, came to Britain in the early Spring of 1991.<第三代宝马swoopy三号系列,其表现与车身气动-前大灯,来到英国在1991年初春. Petrol-powered saloons were all that was originally offered; the four-cylinder 318i and six-cylinder 320i and 325i derivatives.汽油的发廊,本来都提供;4缸318i和6缸320i和325i衍生物. An entry-level 316i four-cylinder variant followed that summer.一个入门级316i四缸变之后,夏.
Diesels became a key part of the saloon range, with a silky-smooth 2.5-litre six-cylinder turbo diesel model ?柴油机成为一个关键部分的球馆范围,以丝毛光滑2.5公升6缸柴油涡轮模式? the 325 td or tds ?运输署的325或策略? launched in May 1993.1993年5月发射.

The 16v 1.8-litre unit was more potent than the 8v engine used in the Saloon ?16v的一点八公升烈性股更比发动机使用的球馆赫利? hence the S designation after 318i; the forthcoming 318Ti Compact model apart, it was to remain unique to the Coupe until March 1998 when a South African-built saloon version arrived.因此收盘后318i称号;即将318ti紧凑模式之外,这是保持特有的采伐,直到1998年3月在南非兴建的球馆版抵达.
A flagship 3.0-litre Motorsport-tuned M3 flagship followed in early 1993 and an entry-level 316i version in early 1994.一旗舰3.0公升驾驶调谐立方米和1993年初遵循旗舰入门级316i1994年初版. Convertibles were announced in the early Spring of 1994, with a choice of 318i, 320i and 325i derivatives.convertibles宣布在1994年初春,选择318i,320i和325i衍生物.

The Touring estate was the next bodystyle to see the light of day, launched in March 1995 with familiar engines from the 318/325tds diesel models (a petrol 318i version followed early in 1996).旅游产业是未来bodystyle见到阳光作业发起于1995年3月,与熟悉的318/325tds柴油发动机型号(汽油版318i随后在1996年初). There was also a slightly revised 2.0-litre six-cylinder petrol engine for the 320i variant and an all-new 2.8-litre six-cylinder petrol unit for the 328i flagship.还有一个稍微修改2.0公升6缸汽油发动机的320i和变异全新2.8公升6缸汽油股的328i旗舰. This 2.8-litre engine quickly replaced the 325i saloon, coupe and convertible with 328i variants (from March 1995 onwards).这2.8公升引擎迅速取代了325i球馆、采伐、兑换变异与328i(从1995年3月起实施).

Contrary to its name, this had a 2.5-litre six-cylinder petrol unit.相反它的名字,这有2.5公升6缸汽油股. The engine was subsequently used (again replacing 320i variants) in the saloon from the autumn of 1996 and from early 1997 in the Touring and convertible ranges.后来用发动机(320i再次更换变种)在球馆从1996年秋季从1997年初在参观靶场、兑换.

WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
German bite, pure and simple.德国咬,单纯. A 3 Series is smaller than a Mondeo, but you won?t care about that.3系列小于蒙迪欧,但你赢了?笔在乎. For the driver, this was the most rewarding compact car of its era - bar none.对于司机而言,这是最有意义的微型轿车时代杆无.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
There?s a vast choice of course, with so many derivatives on offer.?收盘了广阔的选择当然有很多衍生投标. Prices start at less than £2,000 which will probably buy you an early 1991 316i or 318i Saloon; go for the latter whenever possible ?英镑的价格从不到000所1991年初可能会买你的316i或318i球馆;选择后者可能? the engine is far superior.发动机是远胜. A more typical 97P-registered 316i Saloon will set you back around £4,300.较典型97p注册316i定你回房4300英镑左右.

The new-shape 3 series has established an impressive reputation in the trade ?新形三号系列建立了可观的贸易声誉? and not only because its digital odometer is nearly impossible to clock.数码里程表、不仅因为它是几乎不可能的时钟. High demand has meant that second and third-year depreciation levels are still considerably lower than more ?ordinary?高要求意味着二年级和三年级折旧水平仍大大低于多?普通? models from mainstream makers.庄家从主流模式. In other words, when resale time comes, you should get a lot more for your part exchange than you might expect.换言之,当转售届时你应该可以获得更多外汇部分,你可能比你期待.

Be careful when considering South African-built cars (all 318iS saloons and some 316i/318i saloons) as the trade talks of sub-standard build quality and reliability with some of these.应小心考虑南非建成轿车(316i/318i所有318is房车、房车部分)作为贸易谈判未达标准建立质量与可靠性,这些部分.
Watch for cars which have had many owners (this could be a sign of ongoing problems).其中有许多为观赏车车主(这可能是目前问题的一个标志). Insist on a full service history, ideally with BMW dealer stamps.坚持全面服务历史,占尽与宝马经销商邮票.

In the six-cylinder petrol-powered 325i for example, there?s plenty on offer.在长达6缸汽油的325i例如,有吗?收盘大量投标. Rest to 60 takes just 7.3 seconds on the way to a maximum of over 140mph.只需3月7日至60秒休息的方式,最高超过140mph.

OVERALL 总体
It?s small inside, but if you can afford the 3 Series and you?re in the market for this kind of car, you?ll want one ??收盘小内但如果你能负担得起300系列,你呢?在市场上重新为这种车你?当地一想? and rightly so.事实正是这样.
