2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia vs. 2018 BMW 3-Series: Compare Cars
The rivalry between Alfa Romeo and BMW is nothing new, even though the Italian brand is newly returned to our shores. For decades beginning in the 1960s, these two sporting sedan icons squared off against one another—and they’re finally back at it again with the 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia squaring off against the 2018 BMW 3-Series.
Though both brands offer megapower versions of their compact sedans—think the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and the BMW M3—the everyman’s versions that compete best against one another are the BMW 330i and the base Alfa Romeo Giulia.

The 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia presents plenty of compelling reasons to jump ship from the “default” sports sedan brands.
The 2018 BMW 3-Series makes its strongest case in performance for luxury compact buyers’ attentions.
