1999 BMW 323 consumer reviews

I love my Almasy! I don’t think I will ever replace him unless he completely dies on me. The only thing I worry about is rust, but it’s only starting to show here and there. Best car ever!

I've had this car of 24 years and it's just a fun to drive as the day she left the lot. I've meticulously maintained the car, but overall I've not put that much money into it. I never drive it in rain or snow. I use only genuine parts and take it to reputable mechanics. Good performance tires are critical to this cars agility. I recommend Michelins.

This car has been an exceptional car. It is dependable. It is comfortable. It is good-looking. It is easy-to-drive. It has been a great jump in and drive to work, take a day trip to San Diego or San Francisco, bring small groups to and from workshops kind of vehicle. I could not have asked for more from any car. It is, in a word, the BEST!

This BMW has been the worst car I've ever owned. Literally one thing after another broke. Extremely unreliable. Will never own a BMW or Mercedes for that matter ever in my life because of this experience

The get-up and go is great. Manual 5 speed is the best experience in driving. Due to the year, I started wishing there were some frills, but I still in the end am hesitant to sell the cool little car.

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.

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....

I think that the 99 bmw 323i is an amazing piece of German engineering, from the power and performance all the way to the comfort all together great car

The car is fun , good commenter gets decent gas mileage . Superb performance for the age . Very reliable if looked after . Beautiful styling .

Awesome hp for a inline 6 but the electrical system is a pain to work on and the air pump in those are crazy expensive. But truly is needed idc what anyone says .
