It’s a good car but not a great car. If you were smart you would have bought a M3 with the V8, those hold value, not a reg 3 series that is plagued with fuel pump issues, recalls, lemons and lots of buy backs
Its Not a regular 3 series.
Dude, a lot of conjecture about reliability. Fact is, that BMW wouldn't be considered one of the best brands on the planet, if everyone thought they were pieces of shit, that break down all of the time.
The 3 series is an iconic class. I'm not a BMW purist either. I've heard Mustangs are shit, my friends Corvette had constant problems. People say Range Rovers are shit.....
I truly believe how you drive, and regular maintenance, solve a lot of issues. Besides, I like cars. I'm not gonna drive a Civic, or a Camry just because they are reliable. I need to like what I'm driving.
