I've read quite a few articles provided by AutoTrader UK

I want to know the personal experiences of any one who has used or using this car. Your feedback will be a great help.Can anyone give me their feedback on using a BMW 3series car?This is a slightly open ended question, so I'm not sure which aspect on the 3-series you are really looking for. Is it total driving experience, luxury appeal, reliability, cost? I'll touch on each.

I owned a 328is (99') for 4 years, then purchased an e46 325i (2002), and now I own a 2007 328. Each one of these cars was a thing of beauty. I have noticed that as BMW evolves, it sacrafices its edginess, but it compensates for it with added luxury and technology.

The BMW 3-series is an extremely well built machine. It is intended for those who enjoy the driving experience, those that like to take turns fast and feel the road. The inside controls are extremely ergonomically friendly, contributing to a relaxed, in-control feel. The maintenance is free for the first 4 years, or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first), or if you purchase a certified used, you can work in a warranty with the dealer that suites your needs.

Only negative of a Bimmer is that you can't ignore it like you would a Japanese car. After about 75k miles, you have to pay more attention to small creaks, pings, squeeks, etc..But, its worth it and if you do keep good care of the car, it should last you hundreds of thousands of miles.

I'm sure that if you're asking this question, you know that BMW's are not cheap. The add-ons are expensive, and you don't get a lot of standard equipment that you would get with a car like, for example, an Acura TSX. You do pay for the name, but you also get what you paid for. Good luck!Can anyone give me their feedback on using a BMW 3series car?
The 3 series is a great entry level luxury car. It drives well, and can be appreciated by driving enthusiasts. I don't personally own one, but I had the pleasure of test driving one when I was in the market for a new car. Although I didn't care much for the instrument panel, the drive was great and the car felt very sturdy. The free maint is a plus as well.Can anyone give me their feedback on using a BMW 3series car?I've owned a 328i for two years and love it.

It handles well, is comfortable, has great preformance and is good on gas, for a 6 cylinder.

Maintenance costs are a lot less than I expected.

Original sound system is good quality.

only thing I dont like is there is not much storage space.Can anyone give me their feedback on using a BMW 3series car?
I currently own a 1997 BMW 318i. I have had it for four years and bought it when it had 100K miles on it and there are 160K on it now. I really love this car. I have had only a few things gone wrong with it. I had a hose that was part of the heating/cooling system go bad, which made my car overheat, but they repaired that easily (kind of expensive because the mechanics have to drop the engine to get to it, but while they did that they replaced my clutch kit. )



I also have had to replace the brakes one time since I have had it but that's normal.

The display for the CD player and time and such also seems to be a little faded, but that tends to happen in BMWs.



Other than that the car is very nice ride, with impeccable leather. The car is very quiet and actually fits myself quite comfortablely and I'm 6'2''.



I would definitely recommend this car to anyone thinking about it!Can anyone give me their feedback on using a BMW 3series car?I owned a 99 323 -5spd (sold at 96k miles) and a 2004 M3 SMG(sold at 14k miles). The 323 had so many minor problems that it became a nuisance, maybe because it was the first model year of the E46 body style. Among the things that went wrong: replaced sun roof rails (twice), replaced all window motors, replaced all door insulation, front suspension bushings replaced (twice), replaced front %26amp; rear rotors (twice),

Other problems generally found in the E46 is bad transmission, frame detachment in rear quarter panel.

The M3 had two recalls, but generally uneventful. Finally got rid of it for a Porsche 911 Turbo.
