WILL THE BMW 3 SERIES BE A FUTURE CLASSIC?

The BMW 3 Series has cultivated a legendary reputation over its nearly 50-year production run, defining its segment as a benchmark for driving dynamics and performance.

Certain models, however, have stood out as extraordinary cars with class-leading acceleration, track-bred credentials, and short production runs. These are the models with future classic credentials.

A short history of the BMW 3 Series

The 3 Series is one of BMW’s longest-running production models, debuting in 1975 with the first generation E21 with 4-cylinder engines, but soon added fuel-injected models and 6-cylinders by 1977 to create incredible performance saloons.

The second-gen E30 arrived in 1982 with new 4-door and convertible models, plus BMW’s first diesel engine. In the 1990s, the E36 brought the first 6-speed manual transmission and a new straight-6 M3 engine.

The E46 in 1997 had more technology, such as satellite navigation and LED taillights, and saw the return of all-wheel drive models. The 2000s E90 generation ushered in the first turbocharged petrol engine with the 335i in 2006. The M3 models also got a new V8 engine.

When the F30 came along in 2011, it split the coupe and convertible into the new 4 Series line. A plug-in hybrid 330e arrived in 2016, along with a 3-cylinder engine option. The current G20 debuted in 2018 with the first-ever M3 Touring wagon, a rare breed of tourer with every right to be a future classic in 20 years or so.

Models with future classic status

There are several 3 Series that are already classics, such as the original E21 and the E30 of the 80s. Any BMW M3 made before 2000 is also a classic, such as the 1996 M3, which was the first 3 Series to have a 6-speed manual gearbox.

As we look to more modern 3 Series, the ones with future classic potential are those with a unique engine or limited-edition status.

E46 M3 (2000-2006)

Powered by a 3.2 L i6 engine or a 4.0 L variant in the M3 GTR, the E46 M3 is teetering on the edge of classic status in 2023. A 0-62mph time of 5.1 seconds puts it way ahead of older M3s and retains a manual gearbox option. The special edition M3 CSL is even more special, a car bred to reduce weight and be more aerodynamic.

F30 335i/340i (2012-2019)

The F30 is considered by many to be the most complete 3 Series, offering the perfect combination of luxury and driver involvement. The 330i, 335i, and 340i are our favourite versions, powered by the N55B30M0 and N55B30M0 straight-six engines. With over 300hp, these models pack a punch at an affordable price.

F30 330d/335d (2012-2019)

The war against diesel doesn’t bother the ‘no smoke, no poke’ crowd, cementing the F30 330d/335d as potential future classics. The 335d is particularly potent, kicking out 308hp and a whopping 460 lb-ft of torque. The tuning potential of these cars is also off the charts, with a remap unlocking well over 550 lb-ft.

M3 F80 (2014-2019)

The M3 F80 is based on the F30 3 Series and comes in three distinct models – M3, M3 Comp, and M3 CS. The M3 Comp was produced from 2016-2020 with 444hp, while the M3 CS was produced from 2018 to 2020 with 453hp and lighter 3 Series bumpers & headlights. Both these models are future classics.

M3 G81 Touring (2020-present)

The M3 G81 is the first ever M3 Touring, giving it excellent future classic potential. The 3.0L S58B30T0 twin-turbo I6 engine is a brute, kicking out 503hp and 479 lb-ft of torque through an 8-speed auto gearbox. Built to smash motorways and tracks, the M3 Touring is the dream car for many a family man.

BMW HISTORY: A COMPREHENSIVE LOOK FROM 1916 TO 2023

From its humble beginnings as an aircraft engine manufacturer to its current position as a global leader in luxury automobiles and motorcycles, the BMW history is a fascinating story of innovation, perseverance, and passion. For over a century, this iconic brand has captivated the hearts and minds of automotive enthusiasts worldwide. But how did BMW evolve from producing aircraft engines to crafting some of the world’s most sought-after vehicles? Let’s embark on a thrilling journey through the storied past of Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, or as we know it today, BMW.

Short Summary

BMW was founded in 1916 as an aircraft engine manufacturer and grew to become a renowned luxury and performance automotive powerhouse.
The BMW logo is iconic, symbolizing the company’s roots in Bavarian state colours.
Over its history, BMW has achieved success through motorsport racing achievements, electric vehicle production innovations, strategic acquisitions of MINI & Rolls Royce brands and philanthropy for social responsibility.
The Birth of BMW



When the name BMW is mentioned, one often thinks of the sleek and powerful cars that grace our roads. However, the brand’s origins can be traced back to 1916, when its focus was on producing aircraft engines. The company was born from the merger of the Flugmaschinenfabrik Gustav Otto and Bayerische Flugzeug-Werke AG. This union marked the beginning of BMW’s journey from a small aircraft engine manufacturer to a global automotive powerhouse, renowned for both exceptional motorcycles and automobiles.

Today, BMW is a symbol of luxury and performance, with a range of vehicles that cater to luxury and performance.

Aircraft Engines

BMW’s journey began with the production of aircraft engines during World War I, after which the company faced restrictions and was forced to pivot its focus to other mechanical products. This period in BMW’s history proved to be pivotal, as the company began producing motorcycle engines and eventually BMW combustion engines.

The first completely BMW-conceived aircraft engine was the BMW IIIa, which paved the way for the legendary BMW R 32 motorcycle in 1923. This diversification laid the foundation for the future success of the BMW brand.

Merger and Formation

The formation of BMW, officially known as Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, was a result of the merger between Flugmaschinenfabrik Gustav Otto and Bayerische Flugzeug-Werke AG in 1916. The newly formed company continued to focus on aircraft engine production, building a solid reputation for quality and innovation.

In 1922, the BMW name resurfaced when Knorr-Bremse main shareholder Camillo Castiglioni acquired the BMW name and transferred it to BFW. This marked the beginning of the BMW we know today, a brand that would go on to produce some of the most iconic vehicles in automotive history.

The Evolution of the BMW Logo



The BMW logo is instantly recognizable and has become synonymous with the brand’s values of excellence, innovation, and performance. First unveiled in 1917, the logo’s design is inspired by the Bavarian state colours and the company’s initials. Over the years, the logo has undergone minor updates, with the most recent version introduced in 2020.

Despite these changes, the core design elements and symbolism of the BMW logo have remained consistent, solidifying its iconic status in the automotive world.

Origins and Symbolism

The circular BMW logo consists of two quarters in blue and white, representing the Bavarian state colours. The design is believed to be inspired by the Rapp logo from 1913, with the blue and white quarters symbolizing the Bavaria region.

This simple yet powerful design has become an enduring symbol for the BMW brand, reflecting its strong connection to its roots and its commitment to excellence in engineering.

Logo Updates

Although the BMW logo has maintained its core design elements, it has undergone minor updates to keep it fresh and contemporary. The most recent update, introduced in 2020, features a transparent, flat design that replaces the preceding black ring.

This new logo is based on the classic BMW Motorsport logo and reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and evolution in the automotive industry.

Two Wheels to Four: BMW Motorcycles and Cars



BMW has a rich history in both motorcycle and automobile production. The company began producing motorcycles in 1923 with the introduction of the BMW R 32, a legendary bike known for its ground-breaking boxer engine design. This was the first BMW motorcycle produced, setting the stage for a long line of innovative and high-performance bikes.

BMW’s entry into the automobile market came in 1928, following the acquisition of Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach, which allowed the company to expand its product line and begin producing its own car designs.

BMW Motorcycles

The R 32 was BMW’s first motorcycle, and its innovative design set the stage for the company’s success in the motorcycle industry. The bike featured a unique boxer engine configuration, with cylinders arranged transversely with respect to the direction of motion. This design allowed for easy servicing and set a new standard for quality in the motorcycle world.

Throughout the years, BMW has continued to innovate and expand its motorcycle lineup, consistently pushing the boundaries of design and performance. From the post-war R 24 motorcycle to the modern lineup of high-performance BMW Motorrad models, the company’s commitment to excellence in motorcycle engineering remains unwavering.

Entering the Automobile Market

BMW’s entry into the automobile market was marked by the acquisition of Fahrzeugfabrik Eisenach in 1928. This acquisition allowed the company to begin producing its own car designs, starting with the BMW 3/15 PS DA2 as their first BMW-branded vehicle.

Over the years, BMW has continued to create innovative and high-quality BMW cars that have earned the brand a reputation for excellence in the automotive industry.

BMW During Wartime



BMW played a significant role during both World Wars, primarily as an aircraft engine manufacturer. In World War I, the company produced aircraft engines for the German military. During the Second World War, BMW became an armament firm, producing engines for N**i fighter planes and providing motorcycle parts for the war effort. The company also used forced labour and prisoners in concentration camps to meet production targets.

Despite these dark chapters in its history, BMW has emerged as a global leader in the automotive industry, committed to innovation and sustainable practices.

World War I

During World War I, BMW produced aircraft engines for the German military, playing a crucial role in the country’s wartime efforts. At this time, the company was still primarily focused on aircraft engine production and had not yet entered the motorcycle or automobile markets.

The end of the war brought about significant changes for BMW, as they shifted their focus to other mechanical products and laid the groundwork for their future success in the automotive industry.

World War II

In World War II, BMW:

Became an armament firm, producing engines for N**i fighter planes such as the Focke Wulf FW190
Supplied motorcycle parts for the war effort
Utilized forced labour and prisoners in concentration camps to meet production targets
The end of the war marked a turning point for BMW, as the company worked to rebuild its brand and focus on innovation in the automotive industry.

Post-War Resurgence



After World War II, BMW faced significant challenges as its factories were heavily damaged and remaining facilities were prohibited from manufacturing motor vehicles or aircraft. Despite these obstacles, the company was determined to re-establish its standing in the automotive industry and solidify its reputation as a premier brand.

BMW released the R 24 motorcycle and the 501 car, and resumed production in multiple locations, setting the stage for a new era of growth and success.

Rebuilding the Brand

To re-establish its brand after World War II, BMW resumed production in various locations and introduced new models such as the R 24 motorcycle and the 501 car. These vehicles marked a new beginning for the company, which had faced significant challenges during the war.

The successful launch of these models and the resumption of production in multiple BMW plants signalled a strong commitment to the future of BMW and its dedication to innovation and excellence in the automotive industry.

Expanding the Product Line

As BMW continued to rebuild its brand after the war, the company expanded its product line with models such as the 1500, 3 Series, and M3. These new additions to the BMW lineup showcased the company’s dedication to innovation and performance, helping to re-establish its reputation as a leading car manufacturer.

This expansion and focus on quality products allowed BMW to regain its position in the automotive industry and set the stage for future success.

BMW Racing and Motorsport Success



BMW has a storied history in motorsports, both on the track and in the development of high-performance road models. Their success in various racing events, such as Formula One, Le Mans, and Rally Racing, has helped to solidify the brand’s reputation for performance and excellence.

BMW’s commitment to motorsports is further demonstrated through its subsidiary, BMW Motorsport GmbH, which is responsible for the production of high-performance versions of various BMW models.

Racing Achievements

Throughout its history, BMW has achieved success in a variety of racing events, including:

Formula One
Le Mans
Rally Racing The company has also attained numerous accomplishments in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) series and the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), with six consecutive victories.
These achievements showcase BMW’s dedication to performance and excellence in both racing and the production of high-quality vehicles.

High-Performance Road Models

BMW’s commitment to motorsports extends beyond the racetrack and into the development of high-performance road models, such as the iconic M3. These vehicles are crafted with the same dedication to performance and excellence that has made BMW a household name in the world of motorsports.

From the track to the open road, BMW continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in automotive design and engineering.

Innovations and Future Concepts



BMW has consistently focused on innovation and future concepts throughout its history, as demonstrated by the establishment of BMW Technik GmbH and a commitment to electric vehicles and sustainability. As the automotive industry continues to evolve, BMW remains at the forefront of new technologies and ideas, ensuring that the brand remains synonymous with performance, excellence, and cutting-edge design.

The company has invested heavily in research and development, and its commitment to innovation has resulted in the company’s success.

BMW Technik GmbH

Established in 1985, BMW Technik GmbH was created as a think-tank division to develop ideas and concepts for future BMW models. This specialized research and development subsidiary has produced a variety of ground breaking technologies, including the iDrive infotainment system, the Active Cruise Control system, and the ConnectedDrive system.

BMW Technik GmbH has played a critical role in the success of the BMW Group, providing creative solutions for various aspects of individual mobility.

Electric Vehicles and Sustainability

BMW entered the electric vehicle market with the launch of the i3, marking the beginning of the company’s commitment to sustainability and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. Today, BMW offers a range of electric models including:

i4
i7
iX
iX1
iX3

This showcases the brand’s dedication to reducing emissions and developing sustainable technologies for the future.

As the automotive landscape continues to change, BMW remains at the forefront of innovation and environmental responsibility.

Acquisitions and Expansion: The BMW Group


Over the years, BMW has grown through acquisitions and expansion, adding brands such as MINI and Rolls-Royce to the BMW Group. These strategic moves have allowed the company to diversify its product offerings and solidify its position as a global leader in the luxury automotive market.

By continuing to invest in new technologies and brands, BMW has ensured its ongoing success and growth in an ever-changing industry.

MINI and Rolls-Royce

BMW acquired the Rover Group in 1994. This group included popular brands such as:

Land Rover
Rover
MG
Triumph
MINI

The company decided to retain only the MINI brand, focusing on revamping the iconic small car for the modern market.

In 1998, BMW acquired Rolls-Royce, further expanding its portfolio to include luxury vehicles such as Rolls Royce motor cars that cater to a discerning clientele. These acquisitions have allowed BMW to grow and strengthen its position in the premium car segment.

Focusing on the Premium Car Segment

In 2000, BMW restructured its strategy to prioritize the premium car segment. This shift entailed the introduction of new models, such as the BMW 7 Series, and the expansion of the product range to include luxury SUVs and coupes.

This focus on the premium car segment has resulted in increased sales and profits, as well as an enhanced brand image for BMW. The company’s commitment to excellence in the luxury automotive market has helped it become one of the world’s leading luxury car manufacturers.

BMW's Global Impact and Philanthropy



Beyond its success in the automotive industry, BMW has made a global impact through its philanthropic endeavours and sponsorships, including the Herbert Quandt Foundation and various partnerships. By supporting global leaders working towards a peaceful, just, and sustainable future, BMW demonstrates its commitment to social responsibility and the betterment of the world in which we live.

The Herbert Quandt Foundation

Established in 1970, the Herbert Quandt Foundation, also known as the BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt, is an independent corporate foundation that promotes responsible leadership and advocates for a more peaceful, just, and sustainable future. The foundation supports global leaders in their efforts to create positive change through:

Grants
Scholarships
Fellowships
Organization of conferences and workshops
This commitment to philanthropy reflects BMW’s dedication to making a lasting impact on the world.

Sponsorships and Partnerships

In addition to its philanthropic endeavours, BMW has entered into numerous sponsorships and partnerships in the arts and sports. The company sponsors events such as the BMW Art Journey and the BMW Painting Award, supporting emerging artists from around the world.

In the realm of sports, BMW has sponsored various events, including the DP World Tour and the BMW International Open. These sponsorships and partnerships demonstrate BMW’s commitment to supporting the arts, sports, and global culture.
