BMW launched a new generation 3 Series Coupe in 1999, based on German manufacturer's latest E46 platform.

The coupe's exterior design underwent important changes compared to its previous generation model, featuring a longer chassis, revised front grille, new spoiler (with larger air intakes) and redesigned headlights.

Also, the 3 Series Coupe featured a stiffer suspension than its saloon counterpart and challenged the Mercedes-Benz CLK and the Volvo C70 on the premium coupe segment. Some of the new features fitted into this 1999 3 Series Coupe included Automatic Stability Control with Traction (ASC+T) and Cornering Brake Control (CBC). This model received some slight restyling in 2003, featuring new wings, front bumper and front & rear lights.

Compared to its predecessor, the E36, the E46 was built on a longer chassis and overall the car was longer, wider and lowers, changes that made the car even more stable and more powerful.

The safety equipment included dual front airbags, side airbags and curtain airbags for the front passengers, as well as ABS, ESC, traction control, cornering brake control and electronic brake force distribution.

The E46 coupe was offered with 5 engines in 1999-2000, all gasoline. (2.2-liter, 2x2.5-liter ,2.8-liter and 3.0-liter). The power ranged from 125 kW to 170 kW and the engines were mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission.
