Excellent and fun car
It's a great car - the handling is excellent and AWD makes it great in any weather condition. It's not the fastest car ever but the engine and transmission are smooth as silk. Interior is very nice and the rear seats have adequate room. Overall a very good car.

Has been reliable and is fun to drive.
This car has been a pleasure to own . Had it for five years now and love the looks and the way it drives. Replaced the battery, the windshield washer pump(easy fix) and put tires on it. Would recommend this car to anyone who enjoys a drivers car.

A performance car without the bells and whistles
Very solid vehicle. Quick v6 with nice premium leather and sound on mine. Not a very complex engine and not very difficult to work on. These engines can have oil leak issues as they get older due to valves and seals hardening.

Quality and performance
This car has all the advantages of an European car, great performance, style and reliability. However, price value is low at the resale point due to the extra expenses burden due to maintenance. In conclusion, it worth every penny. If i could go back in time, I will buy it again.

Fits like a glove
BMW e46 3 series, station wago,n stick shift V6, rear wheel drive. Ultimate perfection. I must say it has been pretty reliable over the 100,000 miles I've driven it. No major mechanical issues. Puts a smile on your face, every day
