With an almost innumerable variety of configurations, the
BMW 3-Series has become a gigantic success for the Munich-based purveyor of luxury automobiles. No direct competitor comes close to attaining
Sales Stats like that of the 3-Series in the United States.
Graphs like the one below have been available on GoodCarBadCar.net since
August, inclusive of
September;
October;
November; and
December. In September, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class almost came within 1,500 units of the BMW. That’s as close as anybody’s gotten since the end of the summer.
BMW isn’t riding a magic carpet. The 3-Series sells like hotcakes because it
is a hotcake. Thankfully, the
Marketplace is full of other hotcakes, too. The Good Car Guy heartily recommends the
Infiniti G37. The aforementioned C-Class is a handsome alternative. Audi’s A4, especially in
Avant format, is beguiling. The Cadillac CTS offers bucketloads of fun and
can be had in wagon form now. The Good Car Guy has even enjoyed the wonders of Volvo’s little S40, in both 2.4 and T5 spec. Don’t let the popularity of the
3-Series deter you from the BMW itself… or any of its rivals.
