BMW will become a part of your family

After 21 years & 127K miles, my 323I is probably the most reliable & cost effective vehicle I have ever bought. Since its purchase, I've created meticulous records of my expenses and can proudly report an annual cost of $2734.09/year -including maintenance, fuel consumption, insurance, recalls, etc. I love it as part of my family BMW may create a product that is way more expensive than Its US or JP or

Custom ordered new in 2000 & still running strong

Bright red 4-dr Sport Sedan. Currently at 200,110 mi. Has required only normal wear & tear. No major repairs. Admittedly haven't followed recommended maint, but that hasn't had any negative results. I recently had to replaced the starter motor. Hope I don't have to do that every 20 yrs. In NJ and no rust. (My 84 325e rusted from the inside out and became unsafe (possible engine dropping out if I hit a pot hole) and had to get rid of it after only 28 yrs and 370,000 mi. The 323i/e46 is that last generation of BMW that were still more sporty/fun and less cushy/complex & luxury. Personal taste! I like the handling feedback and sense of control. Safety note: do not drive a BMW in the snow without 4 real snow tires! Turns a deathtrap into a fun, easy to control snow car!!

The most exciting car I’ve owned

The car is excellent I love it and sad to see it go from it being comfortable to sit and drive and it gives you the thrill of putting it in sport mode the car whips and it makes you feel alive plenty of leg room in the front and back and spacious trunk room for all your needs

Performance Reliability & Great Looks

This car is built to deliver safety, reliability, and performance. Test drive it, put it through its paces. If you can find a car of this quality or better at this price point or $5,000 or $7500 buy it. This car competes with cars newer and fewer miles in terms of styling, finish, reliability and performance.

I bought one for $600

Put a little bit of TLC into it when I bought it(cooling/air system) and it’s been great ever since. Reliable at 174k, fun to drive, also a car you turn around and stare at as you’re walkig away.

Most fun I've had in all my cars

I owned this car used as the 3rd owner from 2013-2016. It was slightly modified but strong as a horse. The interior was spacious, dash was clean, and the body was nicely designed. I owned the 323Ci. The small body and RWD made it a blast to play with in the snow. My only downside is that despite being 14 years old at the time, the repairs were still expensive. To replace my water pump, still costed me nearly $600.

It was my dream car back in the 80”s,

This is was my dream car, but couldn’t afford it back then, until my 2007 Chevy Malibu gave up on me, start looking for a used car and I landed to this 2000 BMW 323i Sport Premium Package, with 143xxx miles the previous owner drove the car 5k a year. I’m so lucky to have this Car is like my dream come true, I know is not new but when I got this there’s a car Fax and show that the owner bring the car back to the dealership twice a year just for maintenance everything was great 👍🏼..love it
