Power
I have another older 3 series and that’s how I came to own this one. It’s a fun car to drive with typical BMW style and performance. It makes driving fun.
Ride and Handling
This is where these cars shine. it’s like driving on rails. I’ve done a couple track days and Autocross and boy these really handle well
Styling
Timeless styling. Even my 20 year old E46 still looks sharp.
Reliability
I really haven’t had much of a problem with this car. there are some typical BMW issues that are known issues that BMW is aware of. I tend to do my own maintenance and repairs which for the most part aren’t difficult. Other than the over engineered BMW it’s fine.
