BMW 3-Series Compact

The BMW 3-Series Compact was redesigned as part of the E46 line in 2000. Build and finish quality of this model was greatly improved when compared to the E36. However, the E46 version of the Compact still did not reach the success of its predecessor. Moreover, this model was never marketed in North America, leaving the W203 Mercedes-Benz C-Class SportCoupé as the only choice in the class in these markets. One noticeable difference between the E46 and other 3 Series models is the lack of similar styling. Notable features such as the headlights were significantly different when compared to a regular E46. Apart from its exclusive design, the 3 Series Compact was mechanically identical to the regular 3 Series. It featured sharper controls and with a rack which provided quicker response. The E46 Compact was replaced in 2004 by the BMW 1 Series. Nonetheless, the 1 Series did not become available in North America until 2008.
