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.

  Nothing Touches It In Its Class - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By kdshapiro - May 30 - 2:00 am

  This car is a joy to drive. The transmission is as smooth as butter, the acceleration is smooth and powerful and the ride has a magical quality to it thats hard to describe. The interior controls took some getting used to, but now are second nature. Every little corner of this car is engineered to perfection. Including the rechargeable flashlight in the glove box. My only (minor) gripe with the car has been the buzzing speakers in the door posts, that after three visits the dealer has been unable to fix.

  My 2002 BMW - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By BMW Guy - May 30 - 2:00 am

  I currently own a 2002 325ci I purchased in late October 2001. I loved my 1998 323is and I couldnt wait to get my hands on a new 2002. I must say that I think the 325ci is the best vauled car out there today. I test drove Benz, Lexus, and even a Boxter and I must say that the new 325ci won hands down in the all around value end. I felt like it handled better and more realistic than many of its competitors, plus the available options made it able to compete with cars twice its price! I must say that the guys at Wagner BMW were great and they gave me the best deal out of the three I went to. Anyway, I recommend the 325ci its a great buy.

  Very much worth the dollars. Yes, the image is there, but so is the quality.

  325xi - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By f-100 - May 30 - 2:00 am

  I traded an A-4 Quattro for the 325xi. The A-4 was a nice, reliable car with all wheel drive, but in comparision the BMW is quicker, more agile, and a kick to drive especially now that BMW has wheel drive. The main difference is the BMW is like a pro athlete and the Audi is like a college athlete.

  BMW330CI - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By TASHJIAN - May 24 - 10:00 am

  LOTS OF POWER, GREAT HANDLING AND MANY LUXURY FEATURES, SUCH AS 3 POSITION MEMORY FOR SEAT AND MIRRORS. HEATED SEATS AND CRUISE WORK GREAT. TRANSMISSION IS SEAMLESS IN EITHER STANDARD, SPORT OR MANUAL SETTINGS. TOP OPERATES WITH A PUSH OF THE BUTTON, LOWERING WINDOWS AND THEN PUTTING THEM BACK. 11 SPEAKER SOUND SYSTEM IS VERY IMPRESSIVE.

  Wolf in Sheeps Clothing - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By erickblackwelder - May 15 - 2:00 am

  This little rocket ship can break the sound barrier and go un-noticed by the law. Cops dont stop "station wagons" for speeding. Dont call mine a "station wagon"... its a SPORT wagon, as in sports car. My xiT has nice manners too. My newly licensed 16 year-old can handle any situation safely, with total confidence. I fell in love with the looks at the December 2001 DC auto show. Who can resist a sport wagon with sexy lines?

  SWEEET - 2002 BMW 3-Series

  My wife fell in love with it on the show room floor. I fell in love on the great River Road. This is by far the best car I have ever driven.

  Reliable for a Eurocar never go back.. - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By ojc - May 11 - 2:00 am

  The car is much more than I would have expected. Souperb fit/finish. The most precise car ever. Not Toyota reliability but under free maintenance and easy loaner-based service, who cares? There is nothing like this car. You must oown it to believe it (and I was always skeptical about those owners that said the same thing!)

  The Ultimate Driving Dream - 2002 BMW 3-Series
  By Ron Girskis - May 3 - 2:00 am

  I love my 2002 330i 4 door sedan in Metallic Gray. The looks, the power, the drive are mesmerizing. I get lots of compliments at the gas station. The only thing I regret is that my warranty expired at 38,000 and it wasnt till I hit 39,000 that I realized I was out of warranty, otherwise I would of bought extended. Also the oil changes recommended by BMW dont really reflect how often you really should change the oil. BMW only recommends every 14,000 miles so they dont have to pay for the oil changes that you should be getting every 4,000 miles.
