| E30 (classic) | 1982–1994 | 318i, 325i | ₦8m – ₦25m (collector) |

E30: a classic now; prices depend on originality. E46: great to drive and cheap, but old; check cooling system and rust. E90: the naturally aspirated 328i is reliable if cared for; avoid neglected 335i turbo models. F30: modern, economical and comfortable; check timing chain noise on early N20 engines. G20: current model with modern tech and strong reliability for a BMW.
The 3 Series is the sportiest saloon in its class. The Mercedes C300 is more comfortable, the Audi A4 has the best cabin build, and the Lexus IS 350 is the most reliable. For more performance, see the BMW M3.
About ₦4.5m–₦10m for an E90 and ₦10m–₦20m for an F30.
About ₦14m–₦20m for an F30 and ₦25m–₦55m for a G20.
The fourth-generation 3 Series (1998–2006), now an affordable classic from about ₦3m.
