Get a Beemer!!!!

by Drive-a-BMW from Chicago on Tue May 30 2006

Overall this car is really nice. Just make sure you get a warranty when you purchase a slightly used vehicle. The costs for repairs are expensive. But if you are interested in buying a beemer you should already know that. The handling and smooth excelleration is what I admire the most. I enjoy driving the car anywhere and everywhere. Of the 15 cars I've had before this one I can honestly say there is NO comparison. I never thought I'd buy a BMW but now I'm glad I did. I like the fact that this BMW comes FULLY equipped. It has everything: nice rims, sunroof, power everything, and even automatic windows where you can close and open them from the outside using your remote, so when its a 100% in there sitting in a parking lot you can open it all up in a matter of seconds and air it out. Another feature I love about this seddan is that its REAR WHEEL DRIVE. You can have a lot of fun with this car on the track.... yes I took it to the track and it handles better than a stang! For the winter you have traction control, so don't worry about loosing control just because its rear wheel drive.

1999 323i

I have had this car for 11 years and it is great. It drives wonderfully and my fears about maintenance cost were mistaken. I have had the usual for a 17 year old car - shocks, 2 wheel hearings, but basically this is a reliable car and with blizzak snow tires it is excellent in upstate NY winters. At 160000 plus, this car still is fund to drive.

Fun, sleek and luxurious

by TXUDAN from Desoto, TX on Thu Aug 10 2017

This was my daily driver. Luxury, power and not bad on gas. I love manual transmission and this one did not disappoint. The ac never gave out but look for common issues; could save you alot of money.

Best car in my life

by BMW'Sfan on Sat Sep 23 2017

Im a BMW fan and car lover. I drive lots of cars and brands, but BMW is a dimond in all car makers. By the way, at the first everyone think my 1999 BMW is just an old car because she's 18 year old, but i spend lots of money on it and this make my car in perfect look and lovely.

Amazing Car !!!

by RK256 from Kampala on Sun Oct 14 2018

I imported my e46 with 110k miles and now has 210k and is still flawless. The acceleration and sound of the engine are a marvel to-date. Comfortable and still a head turner even after all these years on the road. A rare Jewel.

This car grows on you . Never a boring drive

by Rene from Seattle Washington on Sat Oct 13 2018

Iona 1999 323i E46 sedan I'm the second owner I purchased it in 2001 for those of you out there who think you can't afford a BMW because of maintenance costs? Live on this car for 17 years I have a hundred and ninety-nine thousand miles on it as far as maintenance brakes oil changes spark plugs one time original clutch the 4 failure items in 17 years twice I had to replace the lower control arm bushings $275 each time and once the radiator Reservoir, oxygen sensors and the air intake boot after the mass air flow sensor is notorious, inspect closely for cracking splitting will trigger check engine light and cause misfires 20 minute fix and $20 rubber boot.. it runs on regular gas gets 34 miles to the gallon on the freeway. This car is as solid is granite I recommend the manual transmission and the sport package is a must, a blast to drive.. the 99 model is unique in that it runs on regular and has a timing chain as opposed to a timing belt, timing chains last the lifetime of the engine ... all subsequent E46's burn premium fuel and have timing belts....
