Used BMW 3 Series for Sale in Santa Barbara, CA

What a great vehicle. With over 300,000 miles on the odometer, the car still runs perfectly with its original engine and transmission. Some engine accessories have had to be replaced, but the engine itself is solid. The vehicle is fun to drive. It's hard to stay in a bad mood when getting behind the wheel. The handling is light and accurate. The suspension is stiff like a sports car should be but not punishing. Being a convertible, it is a joy to drop the top on warm days and drive with the wind in your hair. Despite its 30 years of age, the car still looks great. The paint has some scratches and dents here and there, as might be expected on a car with so many miles, but it doesn't detract from its beauty.

This is definitely the best car I have ever owned. This car gets amazing fuel mileage while giving you enough power to slam you back in your seat. Yes, the engine may have a bit of unevenness to the power delivery, but the fuel economy and power you get far outweigh any negatives. This car has everything from Bluetooth to automatic wipers and keyless entry. The car in the cold mornings with the radio off does sound like a diesel, but turn on the radio, put the pedal to the floor and you forget all about it being diesel. You will have a big grin on your face as it forces you back in your seat. This car has a start stop feature witch further improves the fuel economy by turning the engine off when you come to a stop and restarting as soon as you start to let up on the break. On average, I have been getting 600 miles to a tank of fuel in this car, and it only seems to hold about 15 gallons. It's just amazing and the power astonishing considering the fuel economy. It's nearly as fast, if not faster, than my '06 325i that only gets 17mpg on average, yet somehow, it is able to squeeze 40+ even when driven hard.
