The E90 began production in May 2005 as a 2006 model. Currently, four engine options are offered, two being part of the new ‘N’ series of BMW inline engines featuring a lightweight magnesium/aluminum construction and technological innovations such as individual cylinder throttles, steplessly variable valve timing, and dual stage intake timing.
The 3-Series is manufactured in Regensburg, Munich, and Leipzig, Germany while only the coupe, convertible, and some sedans are manufactured in Regensburg. The E91 touring model has also been available since fall 2005 along with 4WD models 325xi, 330xi and 330xd. The E92 2-door will come out in September of 2006 along with BMW’s new N54 twin-turbo engine.
As of 2006, the E90 outsells both the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra in the United Kingdom, according to official SMMT figures.

Note: In the US, the 325i and 330i are both powered by the same 3.0 L N52 engine, but the 330i features revised engine software and improved intake and exhaust systems to produce an additional 40 hp (255 vs. 215). Canada also gets a 323i model which has a detuned 2.5 L gasoline-injected inline-six producing 177 hp (130 kW).
