The longevity and popularity of this model shows just how much it deserves to be included in our top five. With a spacious interior, comfortable ride and all the latest BMW tech, it’s easy to see why the 3 Series is so popular.
With rear-wheel-drive the 3 Series is fun on the road, but there is also a four-wheel drive options available on some models for those wanting something a little sturdier.
