What year was the first BMW 328i?

I’ve always wanted an old-school BMW and I came across the 3 Series in my research. What year was the first BMW 328i?

The first
BMW 328i
was released in 1993 as part of the third generation of the BMW 3 Series.
The design of the third-gen BMW 3 Series significantly changed from the previous, focusing more on a sleeker coupe style with newly installed twin headlamps beneath a shared glass cover. The 3 Series also came in the widest range of body styles, including sedans, coupes, and convertibles. So you’ll have many 328i options to choose from depending on your preference!
The first BMW 328i is equipped with a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 138 horsepower and 129 lb-ft of torque. Or, if you’ve got the need for a little extra speed, you might be able to find a used 328i with a 2.5L 6-cylinder engine. Small but mighty, this optional upgrade roars with 189 horsepower and 181 lb-ft of torque.
Regardless if you go with a modern BMW or a
classic car
like the 1993 BMW 328i,
