I have owned 4 of these 3 series convertibles since 1989 as despite test driving and buying other brands (porsche/Merc/Jag) I keep going back to the 3 series convertible with the straight 6 motor. This car is always a joy to drive, fun and fast and with a tremendous engine sound. My current car a tiptronic 3 ltr is now 19 years old and still runs like new, is cheap to service and at speed is very nimble unlike modern heavy cars. I keep saying to myself I should trade the car but then I get back in the 3, drop the roof and immediatley start smiling. BMW got it right with this car, it will remain a classic. 2022. I love it, amazing ownership experience 19 years on. Recently took a drive to Kaikoura and back with my sister and beemer didn't miss a beat. It's winter down here but the fitted hood, heated seats and air con meant we enjoyed every kilometre. Wonderful 3 litre straight six eats up the road at any speed. It's now 2023 and not a day goes by when I'm not proud to get behind the wheel and feel a sense of joy.

This is by far one of the best vehicles to drive. It does it all well. This is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Great perfomer, when not in the shop. I have had 4 - 3 series cars (88,93,00,02). The last two have had consistent major and minor mechanical and electrical problems. Two dealerships have been horrible to deal with as they keep car and then don't actually fix the problem. Have had car 5 months and its been in the shop for 3 weeks and going back in again. BMW has to produce a trouble free car before releasing to the public. Service staff poorly trained and understaffed for the high sales that BMW has. Service problems not worth the price of vehicle. Think twice before buying.
IN LOVE WITH MY BMW CONVERTIBLE
