The BMW 3 Series (E46) was available from 1998 to 2006 as saloon, coupé, convertible, Touring and Compact, being the last 3 Series generation with hydraulic power steering. The 316ti Compact was the agile city car in the E46 range — compact but with full BMW driving dynamics. Even with four-cylinder engines, the E46 benefited from its mature platform and direct steering feel that made it the reference vehicle in its class.
