Pros: Smooth and torquey engine, solid handling and dependability.
Cons: Few minor repairs as expected with all cars.
The Bottom Line: A solid, all-around car with a smooth engine, proven dependability and a joy to drive fast or slow.
I bought a 1998 BMW 328i approximately one year ago and have had pretty good luck so far. When I bought the car it had about 65k miles on it and I paid about $14k for it. To date I have had a few minor problems with the car but have been able to fix ...

Pros: Incredibly sporty, but still practical.
Cons: Expensive and not a good city car.
If you long for the handling of a world class sports car, yet need the practicality of a 4 seat car, the M3 is for you. I bought the newly released M3 convertible about one year ago and absolutely love it.
When looking for a new car I had...

Pros: Effortless Performance, Quality
Cons: I only have room for two in my garage!
The BMW M3 is perhaps the most desirable car I have ever driven. It combines good looks, vault-like build quality, and out-of this world performance in a way no other car available today can quite match. Yes, there are cars which accelerate more...

Pros: Smooth powerband, classic looks, attention to detail is astounding, extremely bright headlights for stock.
Cons: Insurance can be bad, maintenance is expensive, small things tend to go wrong.
The Bottom Line: If you're a car aficionado that can absorb the greater than average cost associated with owning an M3, buy it.
I was first introduced to the phenomena that is the BMW M3 back in 1994 on an overseas study tour in Taiwan. I first read an article about the E36 generation BMW M3 in Dakar Yellow and just fell in love at the sight of one parked at the base of a ski ...

Pros: Tight, accurate control
Cons: Can't carry the whole soccer team
For nearly two decades I've driven the likes of station wagons, various minivans and SUV's as I participated in the suburban ritual of carting my kids and their friends to those activities that will encourage them to succeed in life so they could one day...

Pros: This stylish car gets alot of stares w/it's smooth ride
Cons: So-called Certified Pre-Owned warranty sucks!!!!
The Bottom Line: Don't go to Competition for a Pre-Owned car. They treat you like crap because of the BMW name.
I got your attention!!! Hopefully. I've owned this car since 3/02 @ 28k-financing through my credit union. Even though the carfax came back w/no problems & 1 previous owner, the service upon delivery sucks! I made my 1st service appt the day after it was...

Pros: Well Engineered, great performance, comfortable to drive
Cons: Poor dealer service, many electrical/electronic problem
The Bottom Line: Great performing car but had too many problems. BMW dealers and BMW USA have a lot to learn about customer satisfaction/service.
I leased this M3 (glad I didn't buy it!) and it was nothing but trouble from the day I picked it up. To make a long story short, it was in the shop for 23 days over the 2 1/2 year lease period.
The dealers (I went through two) had no clue what...

My Favorite Car

Recommended: Yes
Pros: Tight driving, high performance, easy parking, economical, handsome, low maintenance
Cons: None for me
My 328i was my favorite daily driver ever. The 1998 body style is very good looking and that adds a lot to the pleasure of owning this car. Driving the car is nice because the size fits well into traffic, you can pick a spot in the driving lane that serves you best. The car has great pick up and gets around 24 mpg. You can speed-up and brake to get into traffic spots that uncooperative drivers don't want you to have. The interior fits me very well and and I can reach almost every spot in the cab. Parking is a breeze because the car is smaller than average. Back seat room is adequate even for a grown up. I felt good taking my toddler with me because the car's performance allowed me to get to the safest spot on the road at all times. This was my second 3-series and I will gladly buy another one when such a car fits the family. By the way, repairs on my vehicle were almost nil, and I resold it for what I thought a very fair price.
