Social and marketing significance

BMW released its E21 in the wake of the 1973 oil crisis, attracting customers seeking both prestige and economy, nearly doubling BMW's worldwide auto sales figures in three years, and winning numerous automotive world awards and honours.

Three decades later, the 3 Series is still the best-selling car in its class, as commonplace in Asia, America and Australia as in Europe, and it has even outsold some cheaper models, such as the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Insignia in the UK.[citation needed]

The 3 series has also maintained BMW's racing heritage. The M version of the 3 series, M3, debuted in 1988.
