Brief History of the BMW 3 Series
In the late 1960′s, performance car enthusiasts in the U.S. had limited options. There were small 2-seater sports cars like the British MG. And there were Detroit-made muscle cars with big V-8 engines offering a lot of power, but little else. Few Americans had ever heard the name BMW.
Brief History of the BMW 1-Series
First launched in the fall of 2004, the 1 Series is a more condensed version of the larger 3 Series. The vision for this model was to provide a lower point of entry for consumers in the BMW market; yet the usual BMW standards of perfection have not been compromised. In fact some argue that the 1 Series offers near M3 performance in a compact package.
