2015 BMW 3 Series

Trim: 335i
by Supersonic757 on 05-23-2015
Best car I've ever driven!
Having had bmw's for over 10 years and a few Japanese vehicles, the f30 335 is an amazing value for the money. It has better performance than my 2002 m3, amazing handling, practicality, great fuel consumption, very we built and superior safety. It's just a joy to drive day in day out and very dependable!

2007 BMW 3 Series

Trim: 328XI Coupe
by MKetivs on 02-18-2015
It's a Bimmer
The 328xi E92 is, and will always be, a terrific car. It's sleek, elegant, comfortable, and has the grunt of a 3.0L i6 under the hood to power it.
The engine and drive-train are, however, also its biggest drawback. The N/A i6 is good, but doesn't have the top-end power to accelerate from speed. It runs out of breath pretty quickly. The fault lies with the restricted airflow and, once you open the hood, you can understand why (there is NO room around the engine. Very cramped).

All that can be forgiven because of the comfort it offers. Little issues with things like the seat belt passers (coupe only) and stupid sliding covers in the back that constantly vibrate and buzz are tiny nuisances to pay. The AWD system is not top-noch like those offered by Mitsubishi, Subaru, or Audi, but it is good enough to make you feel secure on the road in bad conditions.

Fuel economy with a 3L i6 + AWD isn't the best. And this car encourages more aggressive driving habits. But, if you wanted to save gas, you'd have bought a Miata. It's only real flaw is that it's a typical German car: pricier repair bills (nowhere near as high as Audi or Benz though, thank god). Even changing the oil is annoying.
You have to fill it with premium 91+ octane gas, which is a given for a performance-oriented car.


All in all, it's an amazing car and also comes with the badge bonus of owning a BMW... Not bad.
If you want to pick up one of these in good condition and with good mileage, expect to pay close to $20,000 - More if it's been hit with upgrades - and it's worth every penny.

2004 BMW 3 Series

Trim: 335Ci M-Sport package
by Oemus on 01-01-2015
A true driving machine
This is not for you if you want a reliable economical car.

All in the car is driving oriented, if you are a fan of street driving without overspending, this is for you, you can feel good driving without the need to be over the speed limit.

This can be good track car from time to time if you are the kind of guy.

You should prepare yourself to spend on maintenance, this is a performance car, so you need some knowledge to DIY, or big pocket to live with this car.

If you want an M3 and you cannot afford it, than this might be just the right one for you ;)

by VladBgd on 12-31-2014
It's terrfic driving it, handles very well in turns, breaks great
This car has been amazing since the day I purchased it. Lot's of people at afraid an assume that Maintenance on the car is expensive. This car will only go to a shop for regular Maintenance or changing breaks, tires and oil. I had some minor parts to replace but the parts where very cheap.
Some people will take their domestic cars 2 to 3 times a year to the shop, while I only take my car once a year when I only need to change the oil.
Car is also very strong when it comes to Safety.
My average gas consumption has been 7.5 L/100 kilometers.

by KBG1670 on 12-16-2014
This car turned me into a driver
I wanted an all wheel drive car that was a must, a four door was required by the job I do, but I wanted something with some horse power and that I could enjoy driving. This car made a driver out of me. The weight is balanced 50% to the front and 50% to the back, the dual turbos set you back in the sport seats that wrap around you. Very little roll in corners and with the 19" summer wheels, the factory rear spoiler and tinted rear windows, this car is a real head turner. I have enjoyed every minute owning this car and probably babied it a little too much.

by Karen8285 on 12-15-2014
Amazing performance, ride and handling
people get out of your way when they see you coming, and think twice about cutting you off! The X-Drive combined with the Dynamic Traction Control option offer superior safety and agility on snow and ice, even without snow tires. Solely winter driven, and I've never felt safer and more secure in the city and on the highway.

Best HP per dollar bang for your buck
This car is so under rated for what it is. Amazingly quick 4 door sedan for the money. And fuel economy on the highway is amazing. Loved driving this car every minute. As all BMW's it is higher on maintenance but the driving pleasure is well worth it.

1996 BMW 3 Series

by E36_BMW on 11-17-2014
Cool & Fun cars
I've had my E36 for 6 years now and have had nothing but a blast. As with any other old car, rust is it's worst enemy. I've noticed the same rust patterns on every one I've seen (fenders, rockers..). Otherwise, the engine is a tank and is a powerful yet small 2.8 RWD - 6 cyl. The Interior is simple and has everything you would get in any newer cars today. Exterior looks sporty while also looking fancy, which BMW has always had figured out. I'd recommend this car to anyone.

Would buy another in a second!
Excellent vehicle for toting kids/dogs. Superbly reliable. With top rated winter tires, can get through deep snow with Xdrive. Heated seats and steering keep you toasty. NAV, Bluetooth, everything you need. BMW cup holders aren't super well placed but minor issue. Super handling and BMW breaking can't be beaten.

Would buy another in a second!
Excellent car for the city or highway. Great pick up and reasonable city fuel performance. AWD means you feel very comfortable regardless of conditions, even though the car is smallish. Add top rated winter tires and this vehicle can make it though just about anything. I have never gotten stuck even though our street is the last to be plower in the city! Lots of room for groceries, kids and dogs.

Perfect Combination of Class and Performance
This is by far the best car I have ever owned, with world class comfort, reliability and performance. No other car can allow you to sit in air conditioned comfort, with groceries in the back and still enjoy a sporty ride since this car does it all.
BMW's in line, non turbo six has the reliability of a rock, with amazingly good fuel efficiency.
Best value for the money on the market

Drives and sounds visceral
From shifting to steering, compared to modern sports cars, i feel much more in control and connected to the road. Visibility is great. This car has just enough 'old school' without sacrificing being thoroughly modern.
Its very engaging and enjoyable every time i drive it. I feel completely in control.
