The BMW E36 is the third generation of the 3 Series compact executive cars made by BMW from 1975-1999, produced in five different generations and in no less than five different body styles.

 

The E36 third generation automobile platform was the basis for the 1991-2000 model years. It succeeded the BMW E30 and was replaced by the BMW E46.

 

It is BMW's best selling vehicle, accounting for nearly 40% of the company's car sales in 2005. The E36 experienced enormous success in the market, and is considered the performance benchmark in its class. Among BMW enthusiasts, the E36 platform is considered one of the best BMW designs of the past 20 years.

“… The 328i's stock in trade is a sporting flair that few if any comparably priced sedans can match. For the price, the 328i comes about as close as you can get to a sports car with four doors. … with its redesigned 1999 model, BMW tried to make the 3 Series more comfortable for passengers. The new 328i is roomier, smoother and quieter than ever. “
