| Predecessor | BMW 3 Series (E36) |
| Successor | BMW 3 Series (E90) |
The BMW E46 is the fourth generation of the BMW 3 Series range of entry-level luxury cars, and was produced from 1998 to 2006. The body styles of the range are:
- 4-door sedan, sold from 1998 to 2005
- 2-door coupé, sold from 1999 to 2006
- 2-door convertible, sold from 1999 to 2006[5]
- 5-door estate/wagon (marketed as "Touring"), sold from 1999 to 2005
- 3-door hatchback (see BMW 3 Series Compact), sold from 2000 to 2004
The BMW E90 began to replace the E46 sedans in late 2004, however the E46 coupe and convertible body styles remained in production until 2006.
All-wheel drive, last available in the E30 3 Series, was reintroduced for the E46. It was available for the 325xi, 330xi and 330xd sedan/wagon models.[6][7] The E46 was the first 3 Series to be available with an engine using variable valve lift ("valvetronic"). Various electronic features were also introduced to the 3 Series in the E46 generation, including satellite navigation, electronic brake-force distribution, rain-sensing wipers and LED tail-lights.[8][9][10]
The highest selling year for the E46 chassis was 2002, when 561,249 vehicles were sold worldwide.[11]
The M3 version of the E46 was powered by the BMW S54 straight-six engine. The M3 was released in 2001 and was available in coupé and convertible body styles. The transmissions available were a 6-speed manual or the 6-speed "SMG-II" sequential manual gearbox.
Development
In May 1995, the general exterior design of the E46 by Erik Goplen was approved and as a result DesignworksUSA was contracted by BMW to work alongside BMW Group's in-house design team to create the exterior body work for the 3-Series range in February 1996.[12][13][14] Based on the E36 body shell, the design team put an emphasis on improving aerodynamics and increasing the car's aggressive stance.[13] Design patents were filed in Germany on July 16, 1997[15] and in the US on January 16, 1998.[16]
Chris Bangle was responsible through January 1996 for the production saloon exterior,[17][18] as evident in the 1997 design patent. Production development of the saloon took 24 months from January 1996 to January 1998. Goplen designed the production coupé and estate during 1996–1997.[19]
Chassis
The body shell of the E46 was claimed by BMW to be 70% more rigid than its E36 predecessor,[20] and aluminium was used for an increased quantity of suspension components, in order to decrease unsprung mass.[20] However, with a curb weight of 1,450 kg (3,197 lb),[21][22] the E46 328ci is 55 kilograms (121 lb) heavier than the E36 equivalent.[23][24]
In tune with BMW's core values regarding handling dynamics,[25] the E46 was released with a front engine rear-wheel drive layout and a 50/50 weight distribution.[20][26]
Electronics
The E46 electronics are more integrated than previous generations of 3 Series, including the use of a CAN bus system.[27] Drivetrain information (such as engine, transmission and stability control) is communicated using the CAN bus.[28][29] Vehicle electronics (such as the radio, navigation, television and telecommunications) can communicate to each other via the K-bus.[30]

California, New York, and Massachusetts received the SULEV E46's in 2003, and Vermont in 2004.[66] They received a variant of the M54 engine, the BMW M56.[66] The M56 meets SULEV standards, as well as partial zero emission vehicle (PZEV) and zero evaporative emissions requirements.[66] The M56 is claimed to have identical power as its M54 counterpart.[66]
