It was the first slightly rounder 3 series, the 3rd generation design. They were produced for the bulk of the 90's.



The preceding squarer 3 series were called the E30's, and were produced through the bulk of the 80's:


BMW's are great cars. I owned an 83 318is coupe (E30) from 86 to 90, and ran it up from 70K miles to about 170K, and it still felt and looked and drove like a brand new car when I traded it in on a Miata in Feb '90. ran like a top throughout, needed practically nothing in terms of non routine maintenance. Very fun to drive too, even though mine was the dinkiest model they sold here in the US. They routinely go 250K miles without breaking a sweat. E36's are a touch fancier, a touch bigger, a touch more refined. The problem with those is that they aren't an under appreciated gem like the 240, the used car market is well aware of their value, and they are not cheap.
