| Description |
Visiting Petersen Automotive Museum, to mark the launch of the fifth-generation BMW 3-series for the US market. I had an invitation for the party, which any current BMW owner could get anyway. This one is mine, and the fourth-generation model (chassis code E46). My example comes with the 2.5L I6 engine, the base US-market engine, as well as a General Motors 5-speed automatic transmission. Despite having a "Premium Package" which added fake wood trim, sunroof, and auto-dimming rearview mirror, it was not really a luxury car, but more of a driver-friendly sports car. This car also had the distinction of being built in South Africa, rather than at one of BMW's main German facilities. Although the VIN started with WBA, denoting a German-built BMW passenger car, the 11th digit, which is the factory code, was N, which BMW uses only for South Africa. In addition to South Africa, the 3-series has been built at three Bavarian locations (Munich, Regensburg, Dingolfing), and more recently in Leipzig in former East Germany as well. Although the 3-series is also produced in Shenyang, China, it is a joint production with Geely, and Chinese 3-series vehicles are rarely, if ever, sold outside China. BMW's US plant in South Carolina also manufactured the 3-series as its first model in 1994, before switching to the Z3 and the X5 not too long afterwards. This BMW served with me until December 2008, when I sold it and acquired a Hyundai Genesis. |
