Used BMW 3 Series for Sale

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.

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.

In the area that we live in, BMW is one of the least owned cars. The closest facility to work on them is located hours from our home. We purchased this vehicle used, with a few problems, but overall good condition. We were in hopes that we would be able to perform repairs to it ourselves. We have found that it takes a little longer to get parts, but with some research, we are able to perform repairs ourselves. Fortunately, in the last year and a half of owning it, we haven't need many. Our car is a 2008 BMW 328xi with the N52 engine. We love that it is a four door, is AWD, is peppy, good on gas and beautiful. When we purchased the car, it had over 200,000 miles. We had to replace the windshield and were pleasantly surprised that the cost of doing so was the same as any other vehicle we have owned. We also had to replace a few light bulbs including a reverse light and head lamp. We were able to complete those repairs ourselves. We also recently replaced the hood latch cables, valve cover gasket and vanos solenoids. When we had the valve cover gasket off, we surprised at how beautiful the internals were, even with the high mileage. There are a couple of things we dislike. We had to get a computer program to run diagnostics on the car, as no one in our area has the capability to do so. It was not a huge task for us, but I think that the average person would find it difficult and annoying. We also wish that the vehicle had an oil dipstick. It is scary to rely on a computer to monitor such an important thing. We would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone for its reliability and comfort. If you are a do it your selfer and are willing to order parts online, the cost of owning this vehicle is comparable to most others. If you are not, you may want to consider a different make, as they don't often have issues, but when they do, it could get expensive to bring it to a dealership.
