Such a fun and amazing car

It is so enjoyable to drive. I don't know that the newer cars are as tight, responsive and amazing to drive as the older ones. It is just amazing. A true sport ride.

Luxury for a bargain

If well maintained, these cars are great to have. Like any vehicle, it will need work eventually and be ready for a bigger bill, but if you take care of it when your supposed to then you will enjoy every mile. Great motor, great look, comfy interior, quality car.

Unless you have the money, don't buy

It's a fun car, sounds nice, looks pretty, feels powerful but unless you have money to upkeep/maintenance you're in for a bad experience. Not a good commuter.

When was the last time you had FUN in a car?

The E46 chassis BMW is one of the most reliable 3 series ever made. While all old cars can have their issues, the expensive bits are very well-sorted and extremely reliable, especially with a manual transmission. It is light, eager, and always willing to make the drive entertaining.

I have no complains. The car runs really well.

The car runs great and the guy who sold it to me was super nice. I literally got off work on a Friday, drove 12 miles to his house and purchased the car within an hour or so.

3rd E46 I've Owned

BMW's E46 is by far the best car I've ever owned. From the performance and handling when "taking it out for a spin" to how safe I feel while driving it. I love the body style and wish that BMW would've kept the line going. My only regret is that I've had to sell her for a larger vehicle.
