Exterior Design
The E46 is known for its refined, sporty appearance, featuring BMW’s signature kidney grilles, angular "angel eye" headlights (with clear lenses on later models), and smooth, aerodynamic body lines. The proportions include a long hood, short front overhang, and a compact rear, giving the car a dynamic stance. Standard wheel sizes ranged from 16 to 18 inches, with sportier variants featuring larger alloys. Ground clearance is low at around 130 mm, which enhances handling but requires caution on rough roads. The rear is marked by LED tail lights, the BMW badge, and a generous 410-liter boot.
