Overview & Reviews

BMW swaps out the four-cylinder engine in the 318 coupe and convertible for a 168-horsepower 2.5-liter inline six -- these cars become the 323is coupe and 323i convertible (why it's "323" and not "325," we'll never know). Meanwhile, the 318i sedan and 318ti hatchback continue on unchanged. All cars get standard side airbags this year, except the 318ti, on which they are optional.

• One of our all-time favorite cars. Carves turns faster than your dad carves Thanksgiving turkey.

• Price is a bit steep. Interior is a bit cramped.

  What a car!!! - 1998 BMW 3-Series
  By Mace - June 26 - 2:00 am

  Having just recently bought a 328I sports coupe with the lux pack, I can honestly say that it is the best car I have driven, for fun, refinement and reliability nothing comes close. I have in the passed been an owner of the folllowing: Porsche 911, Audi A8, Toyota celica, Nissan 300zx and to be fair the Audi comes quite close, but thats all, I would like to assure anyone thinking of getting one, "do" you will not be disappointed.

  I wont bore you all with a long, drawn out review. Getting to the point, I love everything about the car except the small 1.8 liter engine.
