  Less is Better - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By haj - July 5 - 2:00 am

  One great vehicle. Handling is awesome, with plenty of pick up and performance in this little package of a 323i. Were a family of two and this car is perfect for a smaller family. The engineering is well defined and noted in this one.

  Best BMW for the buck - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By nxtc - June 21 - 2:00 am

  Bought my 318ti used w/20k warranty remaining. Even with a/t, really a pleasure to drive. Wide stance offers great cornering with excellent brakes. A smooth but solid ride with the speedometer pointing straight up. A Its a shame that BMW doesnt offer this powerplant in the US market any more. Dealer warranty service has been exceptional.

  Best for the money, most value - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By Jamie Randazzo - April 26 - 2:00 am

  This car is a workhorse/tank. It offers the most performance, stability and safety unlike any other car. Acceleration is a dream while gas mileage is at 28mpg. And I shift at 5,000 rpm. I have only been serviced for oil changes.There is little back-end maintenance.

  Perfect except for reliablity - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By davidsmith - April 14 - 2:00 am

  Bit on the pricy side with only 170hp, since most japanese competition now offer 200 or more. But it doesnt feel slow by any means. Design and materials used in the cabin are top notch. Too bad they rattle like nissan sentra. Lots of minor problems, like airbag light being on constantly,(fixed 4 times already) but probably more fun to drive than lot of sport cars. Minor body roll without sport package.

  1999 328iA - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By benmchilds - March 16 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my 1999 328ia, steel blue from Century BMW in Greenville, SC. I traded in my 97 318ia for a newer model. I drive approximately 40,000 miles a year and have put over 65,000 miles on this car since I got it. Even with close to 85,000 miles on it, it still out performs everything that I come across and have test drove. I looked at everything including Jags, Acura, Lexus, you name and I test drove it and nothing can close to BMW. Great gas mileage and extremely comfortable seats for those long trips. Only thing that could be improved is more trunk storage since I travel so much, I could use a little extra space. Looking at an X-5 4.4 next.

  Best of the bunch - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By pmichaelis - February 19 - 2:00 am

  This is the fourth BMW owned. One 6 series, remainder 3 series. All cars have met expectations, particularly the 1999 328ia. This car has all the attributes expected in a high priced small car. It handles well, is comfortable on a long trip..1400+ miles, and has been utterly reliable. The only negative has been the brake pads wearing out at 24,000 miles. Excellent mileage, 32+ mpg on a trip, nonexistent oil consumption during service interval. My basis of comparison is a 1997 Porsche 993 C2S.

  This is a great sports car! - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By hollybuttitta - February 17 - 2:00 am

  This car is incredibly reliable and a complete workhorse. Its hauls up hills, passes at the slightest touch of the gas, it wants to run! The engine purrs and its ride is really smooth. I cant say anything bad about this car. BMW makes cars that are strong, reliable, and fun to drive. If you have to enjoy driving you need a car like this- its worth the extra money.

  Excellent car!!!!! - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By sal sheik - February 16 - 2:00 am

  I got my 99 4 dr 323 from a dealership and have been nothing but pleased. I put some 17" m3 wheels on it! If the engine light comes on it is usually only a loose gas cap.

  my 323i 4dr 5spd - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By x13atma16x - September 9 - 2:00 am

  I just got this car last month with 42K miles. I got it for $21,000.00 at a Mercedes-benz dealer here in Los Angeles. Put in a 19" ACS wheel wraped in a Perelli tires, Starge III H&R Springs, Clear Corners and Red/Clear Taillamps. So far the car is running great, love that 5spd!! Only problem was the engine light went on one week after i bought the car. took it to a BMW Dealership and got it done free of charge..the problem has something to do with some sensor at the engine.

  Good entry level BMW - 1999 BMW 3-Series
  By tkb - August 6 - 2:00 am

  Good overall car, look great, beautiful interior. Save money on the Harmom/Kardon Systems its not worth it. The hesitant while the car is hot almost got me hit couple time.
