Used BMW 3 Series for Sale

I own a 2001 BMW 325i. I love this vehicle. Yes, it's older, but it still looks very modern. The body design is still beautiful and people can appreciate that. It is very well made, easy to work on for at-home mechanics and the ride is smooth.

The BMW 328i is a very well-rounded vehicle. It is luxurious but accessible to young professionals who are still saving and earning their way in the job market. It has excellent performance, great features and is very easy on the eyes. The new car's electrically assisted power steering is quite good (and, thanks to software updates, is supposed to get better over time). It is also very good value, when comparing it to other luxury models. A few negatives include gas mileage and cost of ownership. Gas mileage is not the best - although they advertise an estimated 32 MPG city, the car actually gets closer to 20. Another negative is the cost of repair. If you choose to own this vehicle long-term, you can expect to pay significantly for major repairs. Another slightly less important negative is that in order to cut costs, the company seems to cut a few corners. For example, LED lights are not standard (is becoming the norm even in economy brands nowadays), neither is GPS/navigation. Adding these features from the manufacturer costs significantly (at least 5,000 more for LED lights and $2,000 for the GPS/navigation system). Overall, though it is an excellent choice.

When I first test drove my car I fell in love and paid cash for it on the spot. I test drove it in the rain and it handled like a champ. Heated seats make me appreciate it more during the winter. Most problems are cosmetic and are more likely the result of old age/wear & tear versus, and not manufacturer defects. For example some of the silver trim on the inside of the car is starting to come loose, as is the upholstery. At this point the radio is a bit dated as it has a CD player but no auxiliary input. But in terms of drivability and sleekness, I'm very satisfied. My kids love it and have sense of pride jumping out of the nice car, older though it may be. My six year old for example loves sitting up front, especially when we go to a drive through or a car wash. Prior to the older model BMW I drove a newer model American are, and it wouldn't have even come close to competing. The BMW has great acceleration and when I need to low down suddenly, it stops on a dime. All in all, I'm very content with my decision to purchase this vehicle, though I initially had some hesitation about going from a newer model to an older model car.
