1997 BMW M3 Base review
I have own my 1997 E36 M3 sedan since 2000.
I have own my 1997 E36 M3 sedan since 2000. I currently have over 291,000 miles on the original engine with the original alternator, original AC (R12) still works. A very dependable car and it stills handles great. I will never sell this car. I have been a BMW enthusiast for over 32 years and I have own over 11 BMW from 3 series to 8 series. The e36 M3 has been the best vehicle I currently owned.

House of Cars Arizona review
Made my first car purchase so easy!
I traded in my first car, a 2010 Chevy Malibu, for a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with House of Cars! It was my first big girl purchase, and I was worried that I would be overwhelmed with sales staff trying to oversell me. I did not feel like that at all. The staff was not pushy at all and made me feel very comfortable with the whole process. They helped me find what I could be approved for, and helped me find the perfect car within my budget! I didn’t know much about how credit worked, but Derek helped me go through my credit report and understand what everything meant, which honestly helped me with more than just buying a car. I love my car and I recommend House of Cars Arizona to anyone looking for a car!
1997 BMW M3 Base review
Buy one now before they get expensive
I've been driving my 1995 as a daily driver since day one and currently have driven over 200,000 miles. This is one of the best cars I've ever owned. It's been reliable and easy to work on as a DIY. It's been a pleasure to drive and own. Parts are still reasonable. Because it is a M3, it will keep its value if you keep it up and take care of it. You should buy one now before they become really collectible and expensive.
