What sets it apart from other cars in its class?Thanks to Car and Driver, we can name at least 16 things.

There are more sports sedans on the road than ever. But only the BMW 3 Series has been named to Car and Driver’s10Best for 16 consecutive years. One of the most prestigious honors in the industry, the title “10Best” is only awarded to a vehicle that excels in all three categories of evaluation by Car and Driver’s editors: Function, Value and Driver Engagement. Before you consider anything else, you may want to think twice. Or 16 times.
