  • Who Knew??? - 1999 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Tiring of my 93 MX-6 LS with all the trimmings, most of which no longer worked, I knew I wanted a luxury/sport thing. Test drove the 328i with the sport package and knew I had to have the car. I have NEVER been as awed by the performance of a vehicle as I was by this. My jaw hurt for days from smiling too much...

  • 99 BMW 328i Review - 1999 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    After owning a sport packaged 5 spd 328i for more than three years now, I believe I can offer an experienced rating of this vehicle. Having spent 39K and change not including taxes on a series that started out at 27K I had high (and justified) expectations. All were met. A sport packaged 328i 5 spd delivers all the performance, fun, and practicality anyone could want from a "sedan". The car looked good, had no build quality issues, and only three minor recalls that were handled quickly. Im now waiting for an M3 that Ive just ordered, and I know I will enjoy the new car very much, but even this new coupe will not provide the user friendly broad range of qualities that the 328

  • Soooo Delicious . . . - 1999 BMW 3-Series

    I just bought my pre-owned 1999 323i Sedan, and I could not be more happy about my purchase. The car is gorgeous inside and out. The ride is incredibly smooth and the automatic acceleration has power and control. I just sold my 2001 Honda Prelude for this car, and I am MUCH more content with the Bimmer. My friends can finally ride in my car in style and comfort. EXCELLENT BUY!

  • 323I with Sports Package - 1999 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    This car sticks to the road, handling curves and turns very easily. the acceleration is perfect for passing but not for racing. the car is very smooth and luxurious inside. one should consider the 2.8L 328i if you want a faster car. the sports package and the harman kardon upgrade are awesome on the 323i. the sports package provdes the sports suspension which in turn makes for a smoother ride and better looking car. the stereo upgrade provides 200watts of pure bass. it has the volume and track changing controls on the steering wheel as well as cruise control. im glad i choses the 323i over the acura cl and tl type s.

  • Shoud Have Been Better - 1999 BMW 3-Series

    Door window rattles other door window stuck and had to be repaired, breaks wine, wear out at 20k, and leave black dust on wheels. Hesitation in hot weather almost got me killed several times. Driver seat cover replaced under warranty at 20k. Im getting the full Euro-car experience :-), Ill get a Japanise one next time.

  • Buy certified cars - 1999 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    I purchased a certified manual 5-speed 1999-328i with 30,000 miles, in Jan 2002. Dealer installed new brakes pads and rotors, gave me 4 winter tires/rims/wheel covers, CD changer, refurbished 17" alloy wheels, paid 2/3 of the bill on new 17" Bridgestone Potenza S-03 performance tires, and warranty until April 2005/80,000 miles. The car had amazing handling even with the 16" michelin alpin winter tires. Now that I installed the 17" alloy wheels with S-03 performance tires, I can take the car on a twisty road at speeds 70-90 mph in complete confidence. I have been driving japanese cars for 20 years, and never got this enthusiastic about a car.

  • The E46 BMW is the total package. - 1999 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    The 3 Series is the best buy in sports sedan market segment. I have absolutely enjoyed owning it. The handling and stability going down the road is tremendous. I have driven about everything else that is listed as competition, but nothing comes close. Happily there are numerous aftermarket accessories and parts suppliers that provide an alternative to the high priced dealer.

  • Best 3 Series Ever - 1999 BMW 3-Series

    Best car in this price range. BMW is the Ultimate Driving Experience!

  • 323 IC - fun in the sun - 1999 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    The 323IC is best with the top down and driving with the open air feel. If I could only use a one word description for this car, it would be "SMOOTH".
