The BMW 3 Series has been the compact executive car to buy for nearly three decades now, and the latest model, which was launched last year, has done nothing to dilute the 3 Series brand's dominance in the market.

And there's a very good reason for this: the BMW 3 Series is the finest compact executive car in the world.

It's a consummate all-rounder, excelling in virtually every area in which you'd expect a car of its calibre to excel. From the sublime driving experience it offers to its classy image, badge appeal, impressive performance, generous standard spec, low running costs and spacious interior, there really is very little to criticise.

But what we like most about the latest 3 Series is that it so perfectly encapsulates the essence of what a BMW should be. From its abilities as a driver's car to the quality of its engineering and its handsome, purposeful good looks, the 3 Series does everything you could expect of it with panache. It is, put simply, miles ahead of the competition.
