Overview & Reviews

BMW has seen fit to give the sedans and wagons a facelift for 2002. An in-dash CD player finally makes it onto the standard features list. The center stack has been altered to accommodate the new automatic climate controls. Steptronic automanual operation has been altered so that you move the transmission lever forward for downshifts and backward for upshifts. Bi-xenon headlamps are on the options list so that both low and high beams can glow a cold blue and can be set to automatic operation. Rear side airbags are available for coupes and convertibles. Two new colors, Electric Red and Gray Green (and a Natural Brown interior leather) join the color spectrum.

• Luxurious, powerful, exceptional road manners, available all-wheel drive for sedan and wagon.

• Pricey for their market segment, limited rear-seat space and cargo capacity.

  Ultimate Machine - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By Cruisin Happy - September 21 - 2:00 am

  It really is the ultimate driving machine. Ive had mine almost 3 years and I dont even want to think about ever getting another car. It is just fabulous in snow and rain. The tires can be an issue. I hit a very large, deep pot hole and had to replace all 4 tires. Other than that, not one thing has gone wrong. Mine is loaded to the max with the integrated phone..worth the extra bucks too. I hope this car never wears out!!! Worth the money!!! (45,000)

  truly is the Ultimate Driving Machine - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By BGT - September 18 - 2:00 am

  Love this car and was worth every dollar! The 3.0 inline 6 is amazing- quiet, smooth, and pulls all the way up to the redline. The body is tight and makes you want to find and push the limit on the twisties and turns. Interior quality is excellent and only the Audi is as nice. Very tight build and everything feels solid. Body style is not the most forward design but it has a look that will age gracefully and is a car that is worthy of owning many years down the road.

  Fun Car - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By Jean330i - September 17 - 2:00 am

  I have only just purchased the vehicle and its the most fun I have ever had driving a car. I live for the curves, where the car stays flat and hugs the road with complete confidence. Driving is an event that brings a smile. I dont know yet about reliability, so I cant really judge. This car is not plush on the inside, it doesnt scream "luxury", rather, it emphatically whispers "quality". The only other vehicle I considered was the Lexus and there was no comparison. The Lexus felt too soft-too disconnected from the road. My research sources concluded that its one of the better made vehicles...and that the drive is the best. I agree.

  Great Drive, Few build issues - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By Mike Leopando - August 12 - 10:00 am

  I have owned my 330 coupe for 10 months. The drive is superb. I have owned the 2.5 and 2.8 3-series and the 3.0 is light years ahead. My only problem is small build problems. At six months both front turn signals fell out on the highway due to a broken clip. A eight months the door seal came loose and the driver door must be slammed to close. The dealer was pretty good about fixing the problems, but I can see that BMW is starting to cheapen some components. Mechanically there has never been a problem.

  BMW: the ultimate driving machine - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By mcintyrecd - July 14 - 2:00 am

  I love this car. The only thing I would like better is if it had a sixth gear. It revvs high in 5th which decreases hwy gas mileage. Its at about 3000 rpm at 70 mph. But the new 330 manual has a sixth gear, so they fixed that problem! The driving is the best part. It handles like a dream. And the top goes down in about 25 seconds, fully automatic.

  A SUPERIOR CAR - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By SAMMYD - July 12 - 10:00 am

  This vehicle has surpassed my expectations. The ride and handling are excellent. I expected the AWD system to be a drag on the acceleration but I have been pleasantly suprised by the responsiveness of this XI model. To summarize, this is a great car. If only BMW would provide a a stereo system worthy of the overall performace of this remarkable vehicle.

  By sebis - July 12 - 10:00 am

  Great car, I love it. I would not imagine myself at this age (31) driving another car, except maybe for an M3. Youll have to own one to really understand. No problems what so ever, I put 18,000 miles in 10 months.
