Used 1996 BMW 3 Series for Sale near Los Angeles, CA

Car has great performance, braking and handeling are outstanding, love the interior and exterior styling, other than regular maintenance no major repairs. Has to be one of the most fun cars I have driven to date, very comfortable and smoothe even at high speeds it feels so stable and effortless to drive.

Performance: Strong. Felt more powerful than it is. Strong Mid range too. Brakes Good. Handles well. Bulid Quality: Good, as expected Appearance: Previous owner subtly modified it very nicely. Look great. Cost of Ownership: Can get 46MPG which is very good for what it is. Cheap insurance Fun Factor: Great fun, probably the best BMW 3 Series I have had

Rear-wheel drive + snow = Fun! Drives Smooth, good gearbox, no grinds. moves quite well. decent gas mileage for a 6 cyl. 26mpg mixed. ~32 highway. Comfortable, leather, heated seats for the nasty buffalo winters. A little expensive for repairs but well worth it.

good performing vehicle. pretty good pick up for a 2.8. BMW tried to pick up sales during the early to mid '90 and cheaped out on parts using plastic parts instead of the usual aluminum for the pretty critical parts of the car (i.e. cooling system) if you keep up with the maintenance the car will run flawlessly, but the maintenance on this car is pretty pricey. so you'll either have to have money on the side or do it yourself. this is a very fun car to drive as long as nothing breaks.

I love this car -- it has been a great performing automobile. We have replaced the leather seats and headliner - along with periodic, normal repairs. Now we have very reliable transportation in a FUN and attractive package. It is performance vehicle that is dependable and economical.
