Overview & Reviews

A boost in engine displacement and technology, plus an available all-wheel-drive system keeps BMW's venerable 3 Series at the top of its game in the competitive entry-level luxury market. Larger wheels and brakes are part of the engine upgrade. Two-stage front airbags, reduced steering effort, a Cold Weather package and Dynamic Brake Control round out the major changes for 2001.

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

• Pricey for their market segment, limited cargo capacity.

  My 180,000 325I - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By Ashley - December 31 - 6:48 pm

  I bought this car around 170000 miles and it hasnt given me any problems. I am currently at 189,000 miles. My car is lowered on h and r, this is only where I find my problems. The engine bay is clean and it runs like a dime! Starts in the cold first turn, and is silent. Also regular ttl is performed on this car, even before I had it. This is why it is able to run problem free with quite high milage. My red leather seats are still in good condition, with no rips or scratches. And I havent exprireneed any window problems. Only thing I dislike about the car is the handling, and its performance in harsh weather conditions. This is expected because of its rear wheel drive system but its definetly disappointing. I just needed to share, thanks for reading!

  High priced sportsedan. - 2001 BMW 3-Series

  The list of standard features do not include leather, powerseats, or even center armrest. However, this is the ultimate driving machine with the utmost finish quality. Get one if you can afford one.

  Nice Car! - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By strawberries - December 11 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this car used in January 2004. Engine is really smooth. Dont worry about the power of this car because it has lots of power. Fuel economy is excellent too. I Highly recommend this BMW!

  love the car, hate cleaning the rims - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By Kevlarmorte - July 11 - 10:00 am

  I love the car, a 330i sport package w/ xenon, split seat, and the 5 speed manual. Its fast (especially if you have the engine computer reprogrammed) and it handles like a sports car but rides better than any sports car Ive been in (I even get about 26 miles to the gallon in the city).

  Compare to my Lexus RX300 - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By 330 lover - May 4 - 10:00 am

  Love my Bimmer, great performance 225- hp, good handling (I dont have sport package, so handling is just good not great). No overheat, no water leak or anything. No visit to the dealer until the 1st oil change just like my Lexus.

  Cant go wrong with one of these. - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By daswolf - May 2 - 1:40 pm

  There are faster cars, there are better handling cars, there are more luxurious cars - BUT nobody has the whole driving package as well balanced, in this car category, as BMW does. 6 months later and I still have a big grin when Im walking out the office door to the parking lot. If your shopping around, drive your other options first. That will save you the return trip to the BMW dealer.
