It beat out the Genesis G70 sedan and Shooting Brake, as well as the Lexus ES sedan.
The 3 Series is one of several winning models from BMW in our inaugural awards, joining the 1 Series hatch, and the X1 and iX1 small SUVs.

For decades, the BMW 3 Series has been the benchmark against which other brands’ offerings in this segment are measured. That’s still the case today.
It offers the sparkling performance and dynamics expected of a sports sedan from the Bavarian brand, as well as the slick technology that BMW has become known for in recent years.
You can also still get the 3 Series with an inline six and a wagon body style, though sadly not together – unless you step up to the high-performance M3 Touring, which is tempting…
Rivals have come and gone (or lingered without much success), but the 3 Series continues to stand tall. There’s a reason for that – it’s bloody good.
