- Best BMW 3 Series Cars - A BMW Series 3 Comparison
There are a ton of BMW 3 series cars. This video gives you a complete run down of all the different Series 3 models that have come out over the years. I show you a ton of these great BMW series 3 cars, give you comparisons by year, and help direct you to which BMW Series 3 is the best car to buy.
Everything from the E30 to the latest m3 e90D, the series 3 cars have some of the best value buys out there on the market today, especially when you're looking for used vehicles. That's because they're fun to drive and are generally reliable.
I also talk about the e46, the e36, e92, and all of the different e90 models, the F80, and more. It's amazing to watch the difference between the cars as the years go by. From the 1980's with the e30s to the 90's and the e46. Once we're in to the 2000's and we look at the e90s, we really start to see the current designs with the 3 series cars.
Now, of course, I go through all of the 300 series options with these cars, I give you some comparisons, and by the end, you will have great knowledge around the whole BMW series 3 cars.
Now go ahead and SMASH that SUBSCRIBE button and stay tuned for the next great video from Mark Holubetz at ExoticCar PlayPlace.

![[UNCUT]"ทนายตั้ม" แฉยับ! ความลับสวรรค์ ใครคือ "บิ๊กเทวดา" ของบอสพอล l คนดังนั่งเคลียร์ l 15 ต.ค. 67](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ru9fpSaUwdA/mqdefault.jpg)
My first bimmer was E46. Best car ever. I love her so much, that I still have her in the garage!!
Owned E36 M3, currently own E90 325 and F80. Very few minor problems or no issues at all. Cant say the same for bmw V8 models we owned
1996 E36 M3; Bought with 78k miles, sold at 212k miles. Only issue was driver's door window regulator failed once at 101k miles. This car was rather expensive to maintain, due to having to replace tires every 18k-20k miles. Other than maintenance costs, very reliable car. Car still ran and drove very well when I sold her. No weird noises or vibration. I would've kept it longer if it were the later 4 door model.
Sounds like a good experience
@@ECPPif only the f10 was on this list 😂
E46 is one of the greatest cars ever, not just the in terms of BMWs
Agreed except the rear subframe.
Both of e36 and e46 are the best
A friend owned an e90 325i for about a year, after a couple of water pump issues he sold it off and bought an e46 323ci. I've never seen him happier 😁😁
I'm heading over on Saturday to pick up my 2000 BMW 323CI black, convertible with manual transmission, tan leather interior and 100k! it was shipped here from Germany and not bought from a dealership - OR the dealership had it shipped over? Which I think is probably a good thing! It is absolutely pristine! It looks like somebody cleaned it with a toothbrush! It has a convertible top which is brand-new along with brand new tires and top-of-the-line stereo system with God knows how many speakers which are Harman kardon, and an 8 CD disc changer in the trunk! The price I'm paying for it is $4400 U.S. dollars!
I COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!
I had a 1989 years ago which I drove all over God's creation which was not a ragtop but had the same simplicity with the inline 6 engine and all I did was change the oil and it never failed me! When I was looking to buy a new vehicle I was asking myself, since that I don't buy new cars that often anymore and, I've had brand new cars for the last 20 years but I wanted something that was fun to drive and I had to ask myself, which car was the most fun to drive! And, short of my Alfa Romeo convertible, there was no question in my mind!
SOOOOOOOO - I'm over the moon and honestly some old lady drove to the store and back and it's amazing to get a vehicle this clean and beautiful at that price! The only thing I'm going to do is change all the fluids and I spent months and months looking for this car, and what surprised me was the simple fact that there are I'm very very limited amount of manual transmission models available! I guess nobody wants to drive stick anymore? But that inline 6, with no nonsense no, no big screen TV with GPS and rear backup cameras and all the juju that you don't need! The only thing I'll eventually have to do is change some window motors but when I was looking for this car and my friends were asking me why? And I said if you've never driven a BMW then you'll never understand!
My friend's husband just bought a newer model which is I think he got a 2017 4 cylinder turbo, which to me with all the gadgetry and nonsense on that car when he has to bring it into the dealership he's going to want to commit suicide because it has things he doesn't need and quite honestly my car compared to his side by side is just as beautiful and in my opinion more classic! All I can say is that those German sure do know how to make an automobile and I've got two days to wait before I seal the deal! And I CAN'T be happier! Good luck my brother and enjoy the beautiful driving experience of a BMW! 🙏🏼✌🏼💖😉
The best value is e46 330i MPower 03. That car is maximum coooool
If you take care of it you have it for as long as you live. With much fun
You are a master doing the same thing several times are you not tired of BMW 3 series now.
I have a 2006 330 IS with 249,000 miles still runs amazingly.
Bout to get that and baby the fuck out of her by far the bad ass shape 🥰
330i are good also 328
e46 are works of art im completey love with my 2003 325i
My E46 made the list! I own an ‘02 330ci Convertible! Great vehicle!
My dad had a Bmw 328i e90 2008 it was a great car ! And a good daily driver too !
For sure, thanks for watching.
Reliability was good too? I'm looking into getting one.
Yess the reliability was perfect we never had a bad problem we drove the car daily and far to Tampa and back on weekends great car it has aged well like a fine wine 🍷
I'm 17 and I'm trying too look for a good first car. I want to get one for around 10k and less then 70,000 miles and I was thinking about buying a BMW 328i 3 series. I still do not know the big difference between the years 2007-2011 the cars look alike can someone help me and tell me what year model is the best and why. every video I watch though doesn't talk about those cars in depth much. Are these bad cars to get or are they good? Can anyone tell me more about these cars. Like which of the BMW 328i is most reliable and which year of the BMW is not good.
Buy E90 post LCI (after 2009 MY), 328i 6-Cylinders will be good. 320i 4 Cylc also good, though N46 Engine has some troubles..
That E46 is a thing of beauty
Own an e46 330i manual, amazing car, wouldn't sell it for anything except a e92 335
I have a somewhat rare 2000 E46 323i sedan with an SMG in Oriental Bleau Metallic. The car is 20yrs old and looks like a brand new car no subframe issues and in the engine bay everything in it looks so clean almost new and It has the M52 straight 6 engine.
Beautiful color
Hey blue 323i fam! Mine is also somewhat rare, it's in Velvet Blue Metallic, but has the manual trans.
Only thing is, the 323i only ever came with an M52TUB25. The M54 replaced the M52 in the 320i, and the 323i was discontinued in favour of the 325i
@@MarchuxProductions that was a typo but now its suoercharged on stick internal maxed at 450HP. People say it sounds like a E60 M5 a bit.
Hello from the Philippines. I still love my "boxy" E36.
Hello, thanks for watching. Boxy is a good thing and also represents these cars from a generation when they were more honest and raw machine with less techno.
What’s up Filipino fam, Sending that boxy love from the usa in my e36!
Love the content, man, I am going to buy a used bmw 3 series in a couple of months cant wait.
My favorite is the 2006 330i and 2008 325i sports sedan. Sports packages on both of these are a great looking! Xeon light package have always been a plus for me. As minor as feature Xeons are, without them in the E90 body style has been a deal breaker for me lol
Great cars, great taste Jamel. Cheers.
Jamel I'm looking to buy the 2008 325i as well.. how has the car been for you?
I.own a 2010 328i with all the extras!! Parking sensors all over nav. Everything works 97k. Still a beast! Best car i ever owned for sure. Best Wishes from san pedro garza garcia México
This guy completely left out the F30 & mentioned F80 what on earth
I really thought I didn't know my 3 series there for a second.
I have. 2011 335 msport it’s been great and I like it- water pump died at 20k miles but was replaced under warranty- oil filter gasket also leaked was repaired under warranty
Nav is. Nice- the hifi stereo is great if you don’t find a Hartman Kardon -
Sounds like a few issues along the way. I am considering buying one for a daily to share the experience, what are your thoughts ?
I really enjoy your videos. I am a big bmw fan. I currently own a 2004 330i zhp. I also just bought a 2012 335is convertible. The 2012 335is I'm really enjoying, only negative so far is the side bolsters are a bit to tight.They are adjustable but still to tight. Wondering if you could do an in depth video and test drive of the 2012 335is.
Thanks.
Chris Kotalik u the best
My 328 xi was my favorite it was super expensive for upgrades but worth every penny smoked 5.0s wrx and all these Honda’s in my city
They really are great cars. Lots of power, all wheel drive and fairly reliable.
ExoticCar PlayPlace I can definitely agree I put over 20k miles in a year my first year and did nothing but maintenance never had a problem even after that when I drove less
@Feral Man he did say upgrades werent cheap so not stock my guy
Hey I love your videos man . I have a question I found a good bmw e92 525i and u think that this is as reliable as the e92 525i ? Ty for the good videos
Would u go 07 335i 6spd or 08 328i 6spd? these are local to me in Texas the 335i-10k or 328i-9k im thinking for 1k more the 335i but the reliability is questionable thanks for the info
Stay away from the 335 in the early generations unless you can seriously wrench on things at home. 328 is not perfect but much better than the 335.
i have a 06 325i got it like 3 months ago, anyone have some knowledge or anything to say about it? i just want to learn more about my car
BTW: Mind don’t have comfort access, gps :(
@@doupray Don't be afraid to take it to the redline and row through gears, it'll handle it great!
Just bought my first BMW last week. It's a 2008 328xi 6spd Manual with 80k miles, all service history done at the dealer, it was a 1 owner car (a woman in her 50's). I paid $7600 but I got it at a dealer so after taxes, registration, and dealer fees(bs $599),and insurance, it cost me $8900 "out the door" and I could not be happier!
Congratulations 🎊🎈
@@ShrandaM still loving the car 3 years later!!
@@saganworshipper6062 oh great! I am happy to read that.
E36: 325 and 328 is the new classic! a combo of analog and electronics but very reliable and fun once you get the potential issues taken care of. Don't waste your time or money on 318...
I'm buying a e46 328i. No one ever seems to bring them up, it's either the 330 or 325 I hear about.
Imagine how I feel as a 323i owner haha
I have 2 e46 and 1 f80. Although the f80 is much faster, I prefer my e46s over the f80. The inline is what I associate with BMWs. My f80 sounds like a diesel when starting cold and just the overall quality is not as good as the e46s. One example is how the door cards look and feel on the f80 vs e46. F80s have a cheap vinyl feel to the door pulls that looks like it will soon tear if I keep resting my elbow on it. The trunk hinges and the way the doors shut on they F80s vs e46. Again, E46 > F80. Another bonus is how relatively easy it is to work on the e46. Even the cooling system, pulleys, vacuum lines are easy DIYs. Window regulators are easy and straight forward.
Thanks man for this video
You are very welcome
A little bit of misinformation for the F30 3 series (3 series and 4 series are F30/F32 and only the M3/4 are F80/F82), and you definitely cannot get a DCT on any other models besides the M3/4 in this generation, but other than that a pretty solid video!
I have a 2001 330i not the ZHP package but still an amazing car
They are great machines, for sure.
I got a 2001 e46 are they reliable or decently reliable
They are decent and better than most new cars, but they do still have their maintenance necessities
@@ECPP thank you what are common problems on them I know some like window regulators going out vanos system sub frame.
What do you think about a e60 525i
E36 328 1998 i have it since new , minor repairs my best car by far
The car still I miss to this say was my e36 325tds, that simple straight six M51 turbo diesel was simplistic reliability personified. Don't think they were sold in the US though.
You are right. Does not sound familiar in these parts.
Good video! I recently bought my first BMW. ‘09 328i. I love it. Anything I need to be aware of?
Phew...I watched this video very carefully Mark as I am looking for a BMW now.
Wtf your videos are so underrated...... Incredible. You're now one of the reasons why I don't kill babies.
Thats awesome, thanks for the comments and glad you enjoyed. Have a great one.
Don’t forget the E21 3 Series thats the first gen of the 3 series and the E30 is the second Gen, but Honestly my favorite 3 series models are E21, E30, E36, and E46 the others E90/91/92/93, F30, and G20s I do not like.
Thanks for the feedback and definitely for watching. Have a great day. Cheers.
Yeah, why does everybody forget the e21? Not cool man.
So when are you going to add a mention of the E21 to your video?
The e30 325is had 169hp. I don't know where you get your info from. 😆
I had the 330xi E90 sadan damn thing was nothing but issues and only had 69,000 miles on it 2006 but lots of power
2 bmws
2009 328i 170xxx
2007 328i 207xxx
both going strong not once left me stranded. and when it does i will b OK with one100k with no issues

the tree behind your head disturbed me.. lol
what are you guys' thoughts on manual transmission 2011 328i xDrive AWD??
Absolutely. Anything with a manual has a leg up on the autos as for fun factor.
alvintejeda I own a automatic comfort sport convenience pkg. trust me😃 they’re the best sub model version non turbo in line 6. Hit me up
is a 2011 bmw 3 series 328i awd 106k miles for 7k
a good first car^
The ZHP caught some slack here. I noticed you didn’t come close to the Sport Evo 2, LTW, CSL , CRT or GTS for the top of the line ///Ms to pick.
E46M3 next then picking an F80M3 right after. Can’t stand the E90.
I also like the F series look. Freshest updates.
Really enjoy your videos!
Thanks, much appreciated.
The BMWs I want to own are E34s and E30s, but if I were forced into a newer BMW I'd pick the E46 with a 2.5 liter naturally aspirated inline-six.
Great cars, those E30s are great and love the classic appeal and the e46 is a great series as well.
What about the 3 series convertible??? I have a 2005 325 sport. It's a very fun car!!!
2013 bmw 328i ? i can trade it for a 2006 cadillac cts
You can Yo my 2006 Cadillac CTS Instagram?
You forgot to mention the E21, the first gen of the BMW 3-Series
Lol
looking to get a 320i but wondering if the price jump to a 335i-340i is worth the extra $$ 2018 models
personally....I would Unless you generally have no need for power. The 330 even is a nice driver, did you see my review on my channel on that exact car ? See it at, th-cam.com/video/uHoKnSp8OlY/w-d-xo.html
Don’t forget 335d e90. Also I thought the current 3 series was F30? Shame there’s no 3 litre diesel in the current model.
Vincent Tyson I believe that the 3 liter diesels are still being sold in Europe, just not in the USA. I own a 335d and I love it. Still no issues and reliable.
R A same acceleration for similar displacement, only much better mpg.
@R A it's not a Ford. It's BMW. If its maintained it will be a fair more reliable, economical car than a petrol equivalent. It's also widely recognized that given the lower friction, simpler design, it's a vehicle made for longevity. It depends on what you want. Why do you think large semis use diesel? Because they are more economical, reliable and cost less over time.
R A nearly 70 percent of all vehicles in Europe sold are diesel. I am not just talking about the US I am talking globally. Nor was I just talking about BMW. Diesel engines as a whole are some of the most efficient low cost machines in the world. If you take just one country and one brand you skew the numbers anyway you like. But diesel as a concept is not only the engine of the future, the concept will inevitably super cede battery tech. Biodiesel for example, is entirely carbon neutral and works in any modern Diesel engine. Your take on obsolescence is flawed. BMW may be abandoning the technology but that doesn’t mean it is done. Battery tech like Tesla is extremely costly to develop and the environmental damage that the production has on the environment is catastrophic. The Diesel engine originally designed for peanut oil, a carbon neutral fuel is fundamentally an unfinished story and has plenty of years left. It’s a matter of opinion. It is my opinion that diesel is not finished. Unfortunately for the USA the epa has all but killed diesel because of its ridiculous emissions standards. You cannot judge a fuel standard by a flawed implementation of the technology as has occurred in the USA. Take the European Ford Mondeo, produced and sold in Europe; www.ford.co.uk/shop/price-and-locate/build-and-price#/catalogID/00R/summary/?code=CBA_RA8:R3B produces 65mpg imperial. The figures are not arguable. You can call it a false economy all you like. That may be right, but only in the US. As for my own experience, I’ve owned a 335d with absolutely no costs incurred outside regular maintenance, and I’ve hit 70,000 miles. I’ve also owned 330d, 320d, x5 diesel. The x5 was the only vehicle that was terrible to own and the problems were not related to the engine.
My friend has f10 520d and he gets 41mpg combined. On open roads he gets around 50. Which petrol car with around 200hp has better economy? Yes petrol cars are a bit cheeper to maintenan and they are great if you do 5000miles per year... But if you're doing 20000 each year then the difference in mpg and fuel price is way bigger then difference between maintenance! And your fact that 70% of repairs are done on diesels. OF COURSE they are cuz people buy diesel car if they are doing alot of miles. Soo diesels get driven more soo they brake more, IT'S FUCKING LOGIC.
And diesel is not even near his end... You'll watch black smoke for a long time ;)
The D baby, the D ! The 335d ! That's the D I wanna make mine 1 day
I love the diesels and easy to make huge power as well.
Haha good luck with that I had a e90 320d till I realized they all have timing chain issues they are a ticking time bomb. So got my self a 325d with the 3l engine couldn't be happier they only problems with all diesel bmw of this era is cracked alloys due to runflats dpf problems and swirl flaps
I'm a little surprised you coulden't find better examples for your video. If you have a BMW of America Car Club (BACC) in your area you will find great examples of all the cars you were discussing. I live in Portland Oregon and the (BACC) has examples vintage Beemiers from M1's, 635CSi's, all the way to current. There are three great 2002's with in a block of me. I own a 93 E36 325is that's in far better shape than the one you showed and the E30 was patheticly sad. The 88 E30 325ie I sold two years ago was a far better example. It was an amazing car! I loved every minute of the 12 years I owned it. Also it would be great if you could find a place to shoot your discussion with BMW's in the background. The view from your back yard is nice but it's incongruous with your subject. Cheers
True, the E46 was OK but others were quite rough. maybe some of our weather takes its toll but I hear that. I am always open to driving subscribers cars and featuring them as well.
I have to say I’ve never in my life heard anyone suggest the e46 m3 may be more reliable than the e36, or that the e36 m3 was troublesome & less than reliable
What’s your opinion on a N52?
4:35 I thought My car alarm was going off! Haha 😨😂😅
Nice. Thanks for the watch and comment. Cheers.
What about the F30?? I’ve got a 2013 320d. Was hoping to hear a review about that model
Why’s that?
I love the newer looks of the F30 over the e90 but either will work for me.
Dude why u said f80 for normal 3 series in your vid?
R A mine hasn’t depreciated at all. I’ve had it since high school, I bought an an auction for 17k.
R A it’s a 335i m sport package and luxury package that is just about to hit 77k miles.
Those maintenance problems you had with the earlier three series are all meant because it's meant to be a race car and just tore apart and left basic as it gets and with high performance parts left in their places
True.
I guess I did OK. Own an old E46 330 CI for fifteen yr.s and recently added a 2011 E92-M3 for weekends. :D
Couple yrs later I notice the E92 M3 has modestly increased in value, maybe 5 to $10k more today then when I purchased thinking it had depreciated enough for me (about half sticker price for a low miles immaculate unmodified example)...not surprised but pleased, not remotely an investment but a good sign. Manuals represent only some 20% of market in USA and tho they saved you $3k on sticker they go for a slight premium today. (manny my choice)
I miss my 1985 e30. I got it in 2009 for $2000.00 with a manual and 69K miles...
She got hit bad.
They were fun cars
I'm thinking of buying a 2006 325i bmw
Ive always liked all your previous videos and I never commented on any of them. However with this video... I must say im very disappointed with. The E30 looks terrible and the e36 has definitely seen better days. The e90 looks as if it was driven through the mud. With a tow hook stuck out of the back. It does look like it has actually towed something and not other way around otherwise the tow hook would have been in front. The only car that looked descent was the e46 and it was a sexy coup not a sedan. If you were gonna compare apples to apples get an e92. I honestly think your videos are awesome but this one i unfortunately had to vote down Otherwise thank you for all the great content.
Thanks a ton for watching and I appreciate your comments. My next video posted tomorrow (Sunday) will expose my top 5 most unreliable 3 series cars. Dont buy unless you can wrench or are rich.
what do you think of e90 320i ???
Or 320d
My e90 2007 gave me gear trouble
Wonder whats next in 2018..??
What year you are talking about on the 330i?
Get vod, very informative for a person looking to get into the BMW game. Thx
Very welcome. Cheers.
What's your opinion on a 328i e46 bmw? Dont know the year it's an old model from 1998 to 2003 a mechanic is selling it
As an E46 owner, i'd say go for it if it feels solid and doesn't have much rust. The M52TU is a solid engine. Also, the 328i was only made up until 2000-2001, when it was replaced by the 330i.
@@MarchuxProductions Bought it at the beginning of August best buy ever also it's a 323i couldn't see the name well from the pictures my mechanic friend sent. It's an absolutely amazing I'm gonna invest and take care of it for a long time

@@ECPP awesome! Im contemplating between e39 525i and e60 525i both auto.
Outstanding video!
Thanks for watching. Which is your favourite ?
ExoticCar PlayPlace So far I like the E46. I bought one that had about 165k miles and had several problems that needed to be addressed like an airbag light, and a front headlamp assembly which was causing another fault light on the dash. Had a few signs of seepage in the engine too. I ended up selling it recently. Next time I am gonna look for an E90 with fewer miles so I can enjoy driving the car more than fixing it. I do love the way a BMW door sounds when you close it.
What years are any of these????? Oh we can look it up……
Guys ,what about MY 2010 with 110 000 km,one owner,E90,330d for 71 y.o.retired MD.Not" F1 driver" but love sometimes speeding when cops are not around. In Australia is top speed 110 km. !!! Thank's
What do you think of a 05 330i 123,000 , sport , the person said he replaced just about everything on it , that is supposed to be
Great cars
Do you have in the USA the E46 compact???
There is no e46 compact on usa
Just e36 compact
I just wish that u could get ur hands on an e90 lci instead of the pre facelift model :\
Lots around here though. Thanks for watching.
If you think e90 lci looks better than e90 🤮 there is a problem that’s why even f30 looks like pre lci e90
What about e46 automatk gearbox...is it reliable??
I had a 2011 e90 328i inline 6. The highs were the hydrolic steering/handling and smooth power. The lows were leaking into the interior and atrocious interior trim finish. Overall I loved the car. It was fun to drive.
Cheers
It’s a shame you showed the pre-LCI E90. The update made the car much nicer looking.
I agree, the updated cars are a little crisper looking.
I like the pre-lci look for the most part. I only dislike the yellow corners
Anyone have any experience of the e90 318d and would like to inform me on it
e46 and is the best 3 series ever
Some awesome models in that generation
ExoticCar PlayPlace yeah, 5 series e39 and x5 e53 also the best series imo.
Dms192 they’re nice man. I have an f30 and I might get an e46 for a daily lol. The manuals on those hoes are fun
I was about to buy one untill I saw the horror stories with the subframe cracking issues . Not acceptable .
Agreed except the rear subframe.
what do you guys think of 2009 BMW 3 Series 328i Coupe RWD ? i'm thinking of getting this one. Is it reliable?
It depends. Is this going to be a daily? Do you have a lot of snow in your area? If you answered yes to both or just yes to the snow thing I would say no.
I got my 2011 328i a week ago and I just dropped it off today at the dealership because there's a ticking sound coming from the engine. It might be nothing but I don't want to risk it. So we'll see how it goes. I can update you if you wish. BUT aside from what I've experienced, if I could go back in time I would still buy it. My model is AWD and automatic with tiptronic. It drives smooth relatively(because of the run flats). It has useful power not useless power like the 2018 M5. I fixed the cup holder that the previous owner ruined and the previous owner left the car out in the sun and the windshield rubber cracked and I fixed that. Altogether with doing the work myself cost me $75. Those issues STILL have not changed my mind about the car. IT has extreme potential to be a lifelong daily.
Joe Masic I’m in Texas & Louisiana most of the time so snow isn’t a problem. But the car will be my daily driver
Jonny five is the water pump replacement something you did yourself?
BIG Lie ....i Own a 2006 330i and its the best ever..never really any major issues, just regular maintenance
Joe Masic that’s why you don’t buy an e90 lol. Not to mention the aesthetics of the car. The mirrors are hideous; not to mention the maintenance on that thing (spark plugs, water pump, etc.)
I loved my 318ti
Hey what about inside stuff? It would be interesting,
I can get to that shortly. Thanks for the ask. Cheers.
Thanks for the Info!!! As I was actually looking a good and a reliable BMW to buy... Great job
Thanks.
I had a E46. It was easy to work on.
Yeah they are quite easy for that. Great cars overall too.
But on the e90 you want the n52 not n53 i hear, which is only from 2005-2007.
But n54 rules the roost for power
I own a 2011 E90 328i. I was provided an F series as a loaner once. I hated the four cylinder turbo. Additionally, the car didn’t feel solid like my E90. It was very obvious it didn’t have the silky smooth inline six cylinder engine. No, thanks.
Thanks for sharing
So what you're saying is to find and buy the M330? It seems smarter to me to only lease a BMW so you can enjoy it well during the good times and ditch it before the problems arise.
I’d rather buy then lease. Own the car and maintain it. That’s what being an adult is. Taking care of what you own.
I currently own a e46 325iT SULEV and e92 328i SULEV. Both at nearly 200k miles, both pretty reliable. Don't get a SULEV though... Very expensive to fix. 335d is nice, but insanely expensive to maintain above 80k miles. F series sucks. BMW went backwards with interior design and has QC issues. IMHO, the e89 Z4 35i is the last good car BMW made (except for the 7 series, and the upcoming X9).
Curious to know why only petrol cars are talked about in laods of videos which are not economical and less torque than a diesel engine.. is it all about reliability as I'm aware the diesels are less reliable
True, thats why my latest video, which was released this morning, discusses the worst Diesels in the BMW spectrum, in my opinion. Be sure to check it out.
Diesels aren't as fun. Had a more powerful diesel before my current 323i, and even with less power, I have way more fun now. Plus, as you said, diesel problems, especially stuff like injectors and HPFPs. Although, modern direct injection petrol cars aren't much better in that regard.
What is your opinion on a 2011 3 series 328i
Hi again, I answered the other question
say my friend i just sold my M3 E46 SMG i want a 2011 and beyound you absolutely right about the M3 E36 i had one it was a 97 sedan i sold it b cuz i wanted a E46 there wasnt anything wrong with it
No one talks about the 2006 325xi and it stresses me out.
E46 3 Series destroys the newer model in every way possible. I have drove my the newer model and it is pure shit to drive.
The old cars have a great charm to them for sure.
I own a 325i 2006 and all I can say is that it wastes too much gas for what it is. $70 to fill the tank and it only lasts for close to a week, oil needs to be filled constantly cuz it sucks it up for breakfast. Very reliable car but I would definitely suggest buying a 335i if you want that strong turbo engine that has about the same reliability of a 325i.
Is it still a rocket? I have a 2005 325i, and it still gets busy. Sorry about the gas hog, mine actually does me okay..,. Considering it's a 6 burner.
Damn $70? And barely lasts you a week and here I thought $50 to fill up my e90 335i was bad haha but yea mine only goes for abt a week. The drive is fun tho
Robert Hazz it’s definitely fun to drive and has great power but considering the fact that this car is the base model for the e90 I definitely would not recommend buying one
Tucan 313 that’s very true in terms of the turbo but they’re not really that difficult to replace. You can get the same mpg in a 335i compared to a 325i and at the same time have a car that can be tuned to be just as fast or faster than an M3
Yea I was considering buying the 328 coupe e92 with no turbo and I didn't like how you really had to put your foot down on it. It just wasn't wat I was looking for I figured out. Btw I laughed when I read your name, like its really him haha
It’s okay you can’t skip the e21
E90 318D 2011. ❤
Fun car?
nothing on the F30??
You cant compare a 330i with a 330i zhp. Dont handle nowhere the same as a zhp and quit a few little differences between them too. Which make for a different driving car campared to the regular 330
True, the handling is quite different, but sadly to exploit the zhp fully, one must be on a track to actually appreciate it.
