The BMW 318is model is the third edition of the BMW 3 Series compact executive car line and was produced from 1990 to 2000. Initially, it was a four-door sedan, followed by a coupe, convertible, station wagon, hatchback and the BAUR TC4.

The E36 series was the first 3 Series to be introduced in a hatchback body style. It was also the first 3-Series to be available with a six-speed manual transmission, a five-speed automatic transmission and a four-cylinder diesel engine.
