This is the third and last book of a series on the BMW 3-series. It is car that defines the sport sedan. This book covers the fifth and sixth generations of cars, the E90 and F30. Both generations are very controversial. With the E90, thanks to the chief designer, Chris Bangle, there were boldly aggressive changes to the iconic design. The iDrive interactive system confused many a driver. Even the supercar, the M3, had a V8 engine, which for many folks was like putting a moustache on the Mona Lisa. Despite all of this, the 3-series grew and grew in popularity. Plus, the magic drivability of the car remained in its DNA. For the present F30 generation, BMW split the 3-series right down the middle. The everyman's cars, the sedan and wagon remained with the 3-series. The coupe and convertible, now part of the new 4-series, are closer to the roots of the brand. BMW tries to conquer all the small luxury car market with new unusual models and engines, unthought-of until very recently. As the car world awaits the seventh generation of cars, here is a review of the most review ones.
