Current 3-series that came to US first as `06 models. So far the 325i and 330i sedan are offered. Coupes will follow soon as well as the wagon. A V8 M3 should be out as an `07 or `08 model. Engines changes are already underway, looking for a turbo 6 cylinder that will be called the 335i, replacing the 330i and the 325i will be turned into the 328i, even though they will all be 3.0 liters.
The E90 is the first of the 3-series with BMW's "new" look.

The car is also available as a station wagon/estate (designated as E91), coupé (E92) and coupé cabriolet (E93). It is the successor to the E46 platform, and was launched in March 2005.

In 2002, Head of Production Norbert Reithofer and Development Chief Burkhard Goeschel halved the standard BMW time it took to reach full production of the E90 from six months to three.1 First marketed in March 2005, it had quickly become BMW Group's best selling automobile worldwide by the end of the year with 229,900 vehicles delivered.
