Used BMW 330 for Sale in San Mateo, CA

Fred was really nice and patient with me I was selling them two cars and I was looking for the best deal. To be perfectly honest one of my cars wasn't in really good shape the other one was. But he managed to get me a good price on both cars. I was really happy with the buying process. He was quick took about 15 minutes. And he cut me a check. I would recommend Fred any day of the week if you're looking to sell your car. Because he's pretty straightforward and he's only going to tell you what you already know. Thanks again for all your help

I bought this car off my aunt 2 years ago and to this day I have no regrets. It is a very expensive car maintenance-wise, unfortunately. Given that the car is currently 17 years old, it's no surprise that a cooling system made mostly out of plastic would have numerous complications. Despite only owning it for 2 years, I've put over 45,000 miles on it commuting between home and school. Apart from what eventually added up to an entire cooling system rebuild over time, I have had no major problems with this car. It has had one major problem when my aunt owned it, which was a failure of the ZF 5-speed automatic. The ZF is one of two automatics that could be had with the E46 (3 series generation from 1997-2006) depending on the year. If you're seriously considering any model of the E46 generation, look up the VIN number to see transmission it has. Having said that, the ZF will last around 100k miles, so if you stumble across one that's had a recent replacement don't necessarily let that put you off. Of all the minor complications I have had, it's never left me stranded or failed to start. Where it falls short in reliability it makes up for in the driving experience. Driving an E46 330i sublime, thanks to a curb weight of a hair over 3,000 lbs and a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. The ZF 5-speed, while destined for failure (probably 20k miles left max), it shifts beautifully. It's smooth, responsive, and the gear ratios are nothing short of perfect. In conclusion, this is probably the most fun you can have in any BMW costing less than $10,000 (for one in excellent condition), and regardless of price this is easily one of the top 5 BMWs you can own that doesn't have the letter 'M' in it's name. Just buyer beware, unless you have the means to work on it yourself like I did (I work at a BMW dealership), get your wallets ready. WHEN TO AVOID AN E46, NO IFS, ANDS, OR BUTS: If it has: 100,000+ miles and NO service history A ZF 5-speed that has 100,000+ miles and has NOT been replaced A low-coolant warning light that comes on at anytime A rough shifting transmission An engine warning light with codes related to the VANOS system (if you know, you know) Regardless, ALWAYS get ANY used car checked by professional mechanic prior to purchase, but if an E46 you're considering passes inspection, what are you waiting for??

We had a great experience trading in our car and getting a barely used replacement from Mo! Mo was kind, helpful, knowledgeable, and most importantly...not pushy. He made our car buying experience easy and we walked out with a deal same day. No gross salesman tricks here - the entire team was polite and respectful. We love our new car from Daly City Mitsubishi!

This is my fourth BMW. Besides the physical appeal, I absolutely love the way this car handles. As advertised, It is "the ultimate driving machine."

Wow! Where to start. This car is fully loaded and the most comfortable rideI have ever had. Lots of head and leg room. Great gas mileage. Friends are very surprised to find they can control the air and heat in the back seat themselves. If you want an outstanding car I would definately recommend a BMW 330i. And if you want to get a great deal go to Reeves BMW Tampa. They are outstanding.

Shift is a bit different as they are not actually dealers but consignment for the sellers. A slightly different yet interesting approach. They basically are a mobible auto selling business that comes to you. The cars are inspected, clean and offer competitive pricing. The salesperson lets you take your time, drive the vehicle and offers info and financing and extended warranty options. This is a great idea and hats off to the group who started this business.

I love the power and beauty of this car. It is equipped with many additional features that are not standard like side and rear window shades the rear is automatically controlled the software controls are all very deep and complex and take weeks to master. Even the buttons and location of them all is a learning experience. But I love it all!!

Our car was totaled, no one was hurt, however, being retired we had a limited amount of resources to purchase a reliable car. SHIFT provided us with a detailed check list, the carfax information, lots of photos of the car and best of all, they will drive the car to your location, you can test drive it and if you decided you want to purchase, they handle all the paper work. What could be more street free. We bought the car and are extremely happy

Love the cars style, handling and all its extra features! The performance is great and the car and a lot of get up and go. Handles wonderfully

It is really very smooth doing business with shift. They make used car buying process easy and reliable.

I test drove an Infiniti, Audi and BMW. The BMW definitely seemed to be "the most car for the money." I am mostly impressed with how spectacular this car rides. It performs so well. It is smooth, has incredible spunk and simply hugs the road. Love this car!

My old car was my third minivan in 15 years. Now that my kids are older and leaving for college, I wanted something that could carry 6 or 7 passengers but was ... well... NOT a minivan. I did some research on late model used three-row SUVs, and found the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. (My favorite of my three vans was a 2005 Nissan Quest, so choosing Nissan was easy for me.) Before I started browsing for cars, I applied for credit through Carvana, and was approved. Next, I entered in all of the information about the van I was trading for the Pathfinder. (Beware -- the trade-in amount is only good for 7 days, and it can change wildly in that time!) I was pleased with the trade amount, and it was great that I could shop for my new car and see my down payment and monthly payment for every car I viewed! My specifications were pretty clear -- AWD, less than 10,000 miles, and never a rental car. I found my dream car a few days later, and started the purchase process. It was quite smooth and the directions were very clear about what documents need to be uploaded. When I went to click on "finalize purchase" (or something like that), a red flag popped up...my trade-in value expired WHILE I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHECKING OUT! I got on chat with Carvana staff right away, and they were able to return the trade in value to NEARLY what it was before the expiration. This is something that needs to be addressed by Carvana -- once a customer is to a certain point in the process, those numbers need to be frozen. So we set a delivery time, and the Carvana rep was pretty much on time considering he was traveling 70 miles or so from the Chicago office. Everything was smooth -- signed a couple more papers, took my Pathfinder for a spin, Eric inspected my trade, and I left within 30 minutes with my new car. I would also like to add that I drove directly to my mechanic, so he could inspect the car and make sure I wasn't buying something with hidden damage. Mechanic said to me, "This car is perfect, like new." Just what I wanted to hear. Thanks Carvana! I am telling everyone I know about you guys. Good to work with you! Janet - 2017 Nissan Pathfinder

I just this two days ago and it is driving so much better than my Mercedes. A much smoother ride with a lot of features to make my commute more enjoyable.

This car has all the safety features for my family and it's so much fun to drive! The horsepower is great, of course I like to drive it in sport mode, but the other modes are great too.

This is the sports model which my son loves. I had a 2013 luxury model before , which I liked better, but this is a great car. Rides smooth and very comfortable. I want the X3 next. I like SUV's.

Very easy to purchase, the entire thing happened over email and the papers were signed via overnight FedEx. Less than 1 week later, the car was in my driveway. It does take longer than a traditional dealer, but you don't have to sit there for hours while the paperwork and financing takes place. The car came in immaculate condition, no paint chips, no scratches. Interior was perfectly detailed and cleaned. Good price, low mileage, clean history report.

Have had 4 bmw sedans and always been happy with them. Would recommend this Car to a friend, Have had a lot of positive comments from people who have been in it

Car is luxurious, and have all the advanced features in it. Bold exterior and interior looks. Good mileage if driven with care. Smooth driving with incredible performance!

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

I haven’t owned it for very long, but so far I love the car. I can honestly say I look forward to getting into it to drive to work every day.

I am a car enthusiast! I spend way too much on cars ??? but I work 24/7 and it???s my only hobby. This review will be a bit on the long side, simply because I have so much to say about my experience with Vroom. My wife gets frustrated with me because I talk so often about how amazed I am with Vroom in every aspect! I bought my first car in 1968. Back then I couldn???t afford much, but since about 1979 I???ve purchased some very cool cars. I even bought a brand new Rolls Royce back in 1985. I???ve owned: exactly 10 Mercedes, Jaguar, Ferrari, Audi R8, BMW, Range Rover and several others. So when it comes to dealing with car dealerships, I feel like I???ve become rather expert ??? AND a huge skeptic of car dealerships!!! When you buy a high-end car, you lose SOOO MUCH money, as soon as you drive it off the showroom floor. So the last time we purchased cars, we decided to purchase nearly-new cars with very low mileage on them. We bought an Audi R8 and a Mercedes SL63. And it turned out GREAT. No regrets. So now it was time to sell those cars and buy two more. I happened across Vroom.com in my Internet search, and found the perfect cars for both my wife and I at the same place ??? Vroom.com. The cars are nearly identical to the same cars we???ve been driving, but just newer. A 2014 Audi R8 and a 2014 SL63 ??? both with about 3,500 miles on them. Even the same colors as our previous cars. I got bids from several companies to sell our cars to. Vroom offered the highest amounts on both of our cars!! And it was FAR easier to sell to them than any other company. Unbelievably simple! And the prices for the newer 2014 cars was extremely fair. I flew out from South Orange County, California to Vroom to look at and drive both cars. Vroom picked me up at the airport and brought me back to the airport. I was extremely impressed with Vroom and their showroom. And without exception, every single person I???ve spoken with and dealt with at Vroom has been not only helpful and enthusiastic, but GENUINELY concerned about making me happy. Even after the sale they keep contacting me to see how I???m doing and to ask if there???s anything that I need. They got me great financing! Less than 3% interest rate. I had no clue that you could do that with a ???used??? car. No other buying or trade-in experience I???ve ever had comes even close to how great, simple and fast this was. Oh???and they shipped the cars from Texas to us at NO CHARGE, and picked up our two cars at the same time. And the nice young man who delivered the cars was fabulous. He was so very, very careful with our cars. And not only do they have their guarantee ??? I believe you have a week or so to drive the car, and if you don???t like it, they will take the car back. They even told me several times (even after I???d purchased the cars) that if for some reason we decided we did not want the cars, they would come pick them up and truck them back to Texas at NO COST to use. Unbelievable!! Well, my wife is now also so impressed that she no longer is frustrated with me for talking about Vroom so much, and telling all my friends. In fact, I???ve already asked Vroom to look for a car for my daughter. I now would not think of getting her car anywhere else than Vroom. I mentioned before that I???m a skeptic when it comes to car salesmen and dealerships. So if I was you reading this, the first thing I???d wonder is, ???Why is this guy writing this review? Are they paying him???..???? Well, I don???t know any of the people at Vroom. I spent so much time on this review simply because I believe that when people deserve credit, and they treat you so nicely, you should reciprocate and sing their praises. My name is Dr. Rod Kurthy. I???m a dentist and I own a dental products company in Southern California.

I have owned this vehicle for over a year now. I have 13000 miles on it with no problems at all. For me, this car is the perfect balance of comfort, practicality, performance, and style. It has a comfortable and supple ride when you want to take a leisurely cruise. But switch it to "sport" mode and you can toss it around corners and race down the street if you want. At 100 MPH on the highway it feels like my wife's toyota at 50 MPH but quieter. It is built for autobahn speeds so it loves travelling at high speeds. It is rather quiet at those speeds and very stable. Sometimes when I am in the left lane on the highway I look down at the speedometer and am surprised at how fast I am going without feeling like going that fast. The electronics and infotainment in this car is the best I have ever had in any of my previous cars. The voice recognition software in this car is awesome. You press the TALK button and say "Take me to 6743 Oakbluff Rd, Ossining NY" and it never fails to recognize what you are saying. The Navigation system recognizes your command and maps out the route for you without touching any buttons. The radio and music buttons are extremely well designed and intuitive. There is so much better human-machine engineering in this car than any Japanese cars I have ever owned. I love the sport seats as they are power adjustable 8 different ways and they hug your sides which is really good in spirited driving. The winter package comes with heated steering wheel. The entire steering wheel heats up toasty and it is such a blessing on cold winder days when you get into your car. In less than 30 seconds your seats and the steering wheen heat up beautifully. The AWD system is fantastic in NE snowy days. I don't think I will ever own another brand of car after owning this BMW.

This is my 5th 3 series and my favorite so far. BMW has come a long way with technology and has created a vehicle that is a great blend of performance, luxury and modern tech. I miss the 6 cylinder engines from the “E” platforms but this thing is very quick and the turbo 4 sounds pretty good. Best interior yet and just an overall great car.

My BMW 330i is my first BMW. Love the economy, comfort and sport performance settings. Vehicle is very comfortable and has a quiet comfortable ride. The ease of changing digital settings while driving is exceptional. Going to seriously enjoy my first BMW.

I recently bought a Mini Hatch from Certified select motors and have to say the service was excellent. The organisation for such a busy place was first rate and all the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful.

This review is for the complimentary oil service I have on August 23rd for my new EVO. The facility is very clean and staffs are professional, the waiting area is large with comfortable sofas and free WiFi. The oil service was done quickly and the service adviser, Fernando, is very nice and professional. I will definitely go back for my future services and repairs.

FYI, just recently purchased this vehicle so these are early perceptions/comments. I was a bit concerned about how much I would like this car having only owned and driven 5 series sedans and wagon prior. However, the 330i wagon has lovely drive characteristics and a nicely appointed interior. There are a few items missing on the luxury options side, but it compensates with a more glove-like feel that provides a different type of driving confidence. I wish BMW still offered the 5 series wagon stateside, but this is a very nice compromise between utilitarian, luxury and driving enjoyment that I hope to enjoy for many years.
