A member from California, United States Best Reason to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Exterior styling looks nice, and had good gas mileage at the time Best Reason Not to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Tires run flat tires are great when you think about it, but when you experience a flat they turn out to be a curse. First off they are noisy and do not last long and very very expensive. The TPM monitors all tires so you never know which one is low You can only run the tire 50 miles when flat and at low speed so you need to take surface roads, if you are on a long trip you are out of luck, replacement tires are hard to find they need to be ordered Can't repair run flats, so if one goes bad chances are you will need to replace all 4 Once the TPM goes off chances are the Runflat is already being damaged if you continue to go on the warning light you will be replacing the tire Other Reasons to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Safety & braking This member owns or leases the reviewed vehicle. read full review |

A member from Nevada, United States Best Reason to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Powertrain performance I love the torque and responsiveness of this car. The six-speed transmission is properly geared for my driving. Best Reason Not to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Quietness This is the noisiest BMW I've owned. I have a low-frequency hum that I suspect emanates from the all-wheel drive system. The tires do not help as they are very noisy too. Other Reasons to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Driving position & visibility, Handling, Controls and instruments, Past personal experience Other Reasons Not to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Ride smoothness, Dealership practices, Past personal experience This member used to own or lease the reviewed vehicle. read full review |

A member from California, United States Best Reason to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Handling Sports car like handling without the comfort penalty. Handing performance exceeds my ability and willingness to push the limit. Best Reason Not to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Warranty, scheduled maintenance cost Car has been reliable to date but all BMW maintenance costs a ton. Cars are over engineered which makes even some basic task harder. For example, even changing the battery requires a dealer visit to reset the computer which monitors the battery. Other Reasons to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Safety & braking, Powertrain performance, Driving position & visibility, Materials & workmanship Other Reasons Not to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Ride smoothness, Cargo capacity & towing, Rear seat room & comfort This member owns or leases the reviewed vehicle. read full review |

You feel very connected to what the car is doing on the road.

A member from Massachusetts, United States Best Reason to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Exterior styling Maybe one of 2 or 3 best designed 4-door sedans. Best Reason Not to Buy the BMW 3-Series: Price or payments Especially when "packages" are included, can be very expensive, even in 325, 328 versions.
