Development process
Chronology
The design for the fifth generation 3 Series was frozen in Predecessor BMW 3 Series (E46)
mid-2002, approximately 30 months before the start of Successor F30/F31 3 Series,
production.[7]
F32/F33 4 Series
The sedan and Touring were designed by Joji
Nagashima,[8][9] and the coupe and cabriolet were designed by Marc Michael Markefka.[10]

Body styles
Sedan (E90)

The sedan model was the first model sold of the 5th generation BMW 3
series. It was released in 2005[11][12] (as a 2006 model year) with the
318i, 320i, 320si, 323i, 325i, 330i, and 330xi models. In later years, the
following sedan models were added: 316i, 320d, 325d, 328i, 330d,
335i, 335xi, 335d and M3.[13]

Optional features (some of which are standard on higher models) Pre-facelift BMW 325i sedan
include Xenon headlamps, fog lamps, automatic climate control, power- (Australia)
adjustable seats, satellite navigation, premium audio, Dakota leather
upholstery, glass sunroof, heated front seats, Bluetooth and USB audio
input.[14][15][16] In 2011, the BMW 323i Luxury Edition was released, which included an automatic
transmission, 17-inch alloy wheels, electric front seats, Bluetooth and USB compatibility, and an electric glass
sunroof.[17][18]

This would be the last 3-Series to offer a naturally aspirated engine with the N52B30 (used in the 328i) and the
S65B40 (used in the M3).

Wagon (E91)

The E91 wagon body style is known as the 3 Series Touring or Sports Wagon. Optional equipment included a
panoramic sunroof, which extends to the rear passenger area.

Trim levels typically were similar to the E90 sedan, however there was no M3 variant of the E91. As per the
E90, powertrains used a range of petrol and diesel I-6 and I-4 engines, paired with RWD and/or xDrive
AWD.[19] Markets such as the United States and Canada, however, offered but a small subset of their already
limited E90 trims. In these two markets, only the 325xi with AWD was available prior to 2007,[20] and only the
328i in RWD and xDrive AWD forms was offered from 2007 onwards.[21]

Coupé (E92)

The coupe body style of the fifth generation 3 Series became available
in August 2006 (as a 2007 model year), one year after the saloon. The
E92 is available in the 316i, 318i, 320i, 323i, 325i, 325xi, 328i, 328xi,
330i, 330xi, 335i, 335is, 335xi, 320d, 320xd, 325d, 330d, 330xd, 335d,
M3, and M3 GTS. This would be the last model to include the coupe
and convertible as a part of the 3 Series; for the sixth generation
(F32/F33/F36) onwards, these body styles changed to being marketed Pre-facelift BMW 335i, Australia
as the 4 Series.

The coupe has significant differences to the sedan, compared with previous generations. Differences include the
tail-light design (L-shaped on the coupe), more steeply angled headlights and smaller side windows. The coupe
door panels are also longer, it seats two passengers in the rear instead of the three-person bench, and also
includes a rear centre console tray.

The coupé also features frameless doors like its E46 predecessor. There are also retractable arms that extend
from the B-pillar to hand the seat belt to the driver and/or passenger when the key fob is in the ignition and the
door is closed.

Cabriolet (E93)

The 3 Series cabriolet is the first model in BMW's lineup with a 3-piece folding aluminium hard-top roof,
instead of the cloth roof used by previous models. The E93 was one of first retractable hardtops in its price
range.[22] Other manufacturers have since produced similar retractable hardtop convertibles, such as the Lexus
IS C and Infiniti G37 convertible.[23] The "Comfort Access" option allows the roof to be raised and lowered
using the key fob.

Overall visibility is up 38 percent, thanks to the side windows which are 30 percent larger, compared to the E46
3 Series Cabriolet.[24]

The BMW 3 Series convertible was often priced higher than direct rivals, however reviewers have praised its
passenger/boot space (even with the roof down), driving dynamics, weight and chassis rigidity.[25][26][27][28]

The M3 version was powered by the BMW S65 V8 engine and produced in sedan, coupe and cabriolet body
styles.

Special Editions
320si (2005–2006)

To satisfy homologation requirements for the FIA World Touring Car

Championship (WTCC), BMW built 2600 units of the 320si.[29]

BMW WTCC works driver Andy Priaulx won two of his three
consecutive World Championships in the 320si E90 as well as four
other drivers achieving over 35 wins in the championship since the cars
release. The BMW 320si is used by a few teams in the British Touring
Car Championship (BTCC). Colin Turkington won the 2009 BTCC Andy Priaulx's BMW 320si WTCC.
Drivers championship using the BMW 320si.

335is (2011–2013)

The 335is was produced in coupé and convertible models for the North
American market. It sat between the regular 335i and the M3 in the
model line-up, and approximately 6,300 units were produced. The 335is
uses a higher performance version (N54T) of the N54 engine from the
2006-2013 335i, which increases boost from 8.7 to 11.6 PSI.[30] This
results in 320 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque, plus an overboost
function raises torque to 370 lb-ft for up to 7 seconds.

The 335is has stiffer engine mounts and an upgraded cooling system, BMW 335is (E93) with roof retracted
with a heavy-duty radiator fan and two heat exchangers, one an engine
oil cooler, the other a secondary coolant radiator. To accommodate
these heat exchangers, which are located ahead of each front wheel, the 335is has larger air openings, similar to
the M3. Fog lights were removed from the coupé version to allow for the openings, although they remain on the
convertible version. In addition, the 335is is equipped with a revised, high-flow exhaust system, with the twin
exhaust pipes finished in matte black, and a rear bumper that incorporates a diffuser-style piece.

Transmission options were a 7-speed double clutch transmission (DCT) with launch control (Same DCT
transmission as the M3 but with different software programming) or a 6-speed manual transmission controlled
by a short-throw "M" stick. The manual transmission has a heavy-duty clutch with more holding power than the
regular 335i.

Interior upgrades include a thicker, "M" steering wheel, "M" steel pedals, standard sport seats, "M" door sills,
and textured aluminium trim with "335is" badging on dash and in instrument cluster.[31][32] Exterior differences
are black kidney grills, and "Style 313" split-five spoke "M" wheels in 18-inch or 19-inch size.
