This is one of four BMWs I currently own and my seventh overall, and it is one of the best: inexpensive to maintain with 25+ mpg in daily driving, absolutely reliable and as fun to drive as any BMW.
Awesome car!

This is arguably the best three series ever. It handles like a dream, has great power and has a classic design. The gas mileage is in the high 20s which is surprising. Big difference between this car and the earlier 325i. We plan on driving it until it reaches 250,000 miles.

I love this car. But then, I also knew when I bought it that it was going to need numerous repairs based on the known history of this model. In the first year I bought and or replaced the radiator, the starter, the fuel pump, both window regulators, the alternator, the water pump, and the battery. The car now has 203,000 miles and I would not hesitate to take it on a cross-country trip.

Owned one for 8 years, 2007-2014 only put 25,000 miles on it, LOVED THE CAR, but every two weeks there was something else that needed repair. If I didn't do the work myself, I would easily have spent $2-$3,000 a year in repairs. Five STARS for fun, One STAR for reliability, net 3 STARS
