E46 facelift

The E46 arrived in the U.S. for 1999 and became one of the best-known 3 Series generations, with a wide range of sedan, coupe, convertible, and wagon body styles. It introduced the 330i and 330xi in the U.S. and later received a mid-cycle update that refreshed the exterior and interior while keeping the same E46 body code. U.S. production ended after the 2006 model year for the last E46 variants.
