What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW 3-Series
| Price of the BMW 3-Series: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
M3 is a bargain in its segment. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
BMW financial does a good job, and price negotiation was no fuss no hassle, based upon local agreements with AAA, Price Club. Was able to convert from purchase to a lease w/o a problem, and saved money doing this. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Extremely high factory residuals make leasing this car an excellent option if you tend to buy a new car every 4 years or so. |
| Price of the BMW 3-Series: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2012 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 240hp 2.0L I4 8-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The only down side to a BMW would be with the price tag, but if you demand economy and performance from a dependable and reliabile car, then there is a price. |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Base model is a rental car. Adding "options" adds $10k to the base instantly, widening the gap between the Infiniti and the Bimmer to...$11k. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Car is too expensive in Canada - should be 10% cheaper to match US prices. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
This car is pretty expensive and the payments are somewhat burdensome, but I understood the cost of entry going into the car buying process. That said, you get what you pay for. This car is still a great value. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
BMW pricing. |
| 2009 | 2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 7-speed automated manual RWD |
I believe it needs to sticker 10-12k less. You can get a Vette GS, a Caddy CTS, for 18K less! |
| 2008 | 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Reasonably equipped in Canada it is a $75,000 car |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
very expensive |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 7-speed automated manual RWD |
No leasing option for physical persons in Greece |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
fuel pump issue, materials low quality |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Expensive to purchase and expensive to mainatain after warranty expires |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Options it up and you are well over $40K for a 230HP sluggish car. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8 6-speed manual RWD |
This is a problem with most car companies, but by the time you add the options you would actually WANT on your car, you've easily added $7k-$12k to advertised MSRP. Often times things you want are bundled with things you don't want or care |
| 2008 | 4dr Wagon 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
More expensive yet repair history not as good |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Althought the price reflects general maintenance costs, over the 4 year program, there are significantly reduced numbers of those maintenances performed, ie., oir change, general inspections, no tire rotations, etc. |
| 2008 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
about 25% more expensive than the Infinity, plus dealer add-ons are very expensive |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Too expensive for what you get. Even used the price is not worth the lack of styling, and undesirable & upredicable accelarator & shifting, and sensitive unpredicable braking. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Too expensive. Too many options installed in cars at dealer inventory. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
premium brand, paying for performance but US to Canada is a ripoff. same car is 10k less in USA. |
| 2007 | 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The car is more expensive than it should be for what you get in the purchase. I think you pay well for the BMW emblem. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Features like AWD are not standard. These features quickly increases the price when added. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Kinda high in price. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Roughly 50K for a fully equipt vehicle. Dealers would not discount. However, lease program was attractive but I did not want to lease. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Cost more than average car |
| 2007 | 4dr Wagon 230-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
high priced - but may be worth it for the vehical |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Pretty expensive compared to Japanese cars of similar design. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
BMWs are definitely spendy for what you get. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Sometimes things get expensive when you build a new car. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Expensive car. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
The price of a new 3-Series is on the rise, in turn increasing the average payment and making it harder for some to justify the $50-60K cost of a midsize sedan. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Pricey for us poor public servants. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
It is an expensive car and offering less options, comparing to the competition. Without warrantee, the maintenance cost is mind blowing. Electrical malfunction occurs quite often, so be prepared to save up for your annual repair. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
The price was high for the features and performance compared to the A4 and the TL. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
Especially when "packages" are included, can be very expensive, even in 325, 328 versions. Some packages force odd accessories to get useful ones. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
A little more expensive than competing makes/models, but worth it. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual AWD |
a little oversprice- just due to the brand name factor. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
BMW quality comes with a BMW price tag. Ouch. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
expensive, but holds its value well. |
| 2004 | 2dr Coupe 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed automated manual RWD |
It is expensive. |
| 2004 | 4dr Wagon 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
If you buy a CPO, the price is much higher than private party. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
They cost more. I prefer a used BMW to any new Asian car. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
The grouping of options into "packages" usually includes one item that you want and cannot get any other way with several other expensive things that you do not want, but cannot delete from your order (i.e. auto dimming mirrors with lumbar support). |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed manual RWD |
maintenance is $$$ relative to other brands |
| 2003 | 4dr Wagon 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed manual AWD |
They are expensive to purchase, and to maintain. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed manual AWD |
Ridiculous for what you get. Extra cost metallic paint and folding rear seat! Vinyl seats in a $30k+ car?! |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed manual RWD |
Expensive |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
pay too much for the "NAME" |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Price is a bit high once you add the "options" that should be included like sunroof, leather, HID lights and such |
| 2002 | 2dr Coupe 184-horsepower 2.5L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
As this car is subject for taxation at many levels you will always pay more. The cost of parts is not as high as you would think. |
What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Audi TT

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
For the price, you get features that would be more costly in comparable German cars. So many features come standard like: xenons, tire pressure monitoring, power seats, etc. Very unlike Porsche where floor mats are an accessory. |
| Price of the Audi TT: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
Could buy a Porsche Boxster or Cayman with that money... |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 265hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
The way Audi packages the options up you get more that you want or need. They need to make some of the expensive options stand alone. |
| 2009 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 200hp 2.0L I4 6-speed automated manual AWD |
Any payment |
| 2003 | 2dr Hatch turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Whan all is said and done, this is an overpriced VW GTI with a better warranty. |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 180hp 1.8L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
From a purely technical perspective, it is expensive for what it is, having VW GTI underpinnings. As a whole package, I think the price is about right. |
| 2002 | 2dr Convertible turbocharged 225hp 1.8L I4 6-speed manual AWD |
The car is fairly priced, but beginning to push the envelope with the second-generation TT |
