BMW 3 Series Touring E46 LCI

Product Overview

BMW 3 Series Touring E46 LCI is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2001 to 2005. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 1.8 to 3.0 liters.

Compared to the pre-facelift model, the LCI model received only minor cosmetic update on the outside. The engine lineup, however, was largely updated, with new units generating slightly more power than the pre-facelift E46.

A silver lining is that, while AWD went on full assault, RWD and manual transmissions were still widely available.
