1997 BMW 3 Series 328i 4dr Sedan
This is an excellent overall car. The cargo capacity is excellent, while the car is well balanced and handles like a dream. Mine is equipped with the sport package, which is a must have, as well as a 5-speed manual transmission. While repairs can be costly, most are relativly simple and can be done in your own garage at a huge savings. For example, I did my own plugs for 30 bucks, and it took abut an hour.
The 5-speed manual gearbox is exceptional, the steering smooth and balanced and the brakes are excellent.
The cupholders are basically useless, but I don't allow food in the car.
