Used 2001 BMW 3 Series for Sale near Anchorage, AK

I absolutely love this car and I’ve only had it a few days, yes, all BMWs ,Mercedes, Audi, all German engineered or even just your average “luxury” sedan or car or truck is going to come with a few extra “expenses” such as needing more expensive gas having more expensive parts and maintenance and require a bit more love then something you can just beat the hell and back and expect to run the same, but all in all I haven’t found one thing about the car that makes those expenses too much, the car is very comfortable even when driving and feels amazing even at 20 plus years old, if this is what a bmw feels like this old and well cared for, I would definitely love to one day have a newer one to love and care for as long as the previous owner of mine did. Absolutely spectacular piece of automotive engineering and very fun (even with car seats XD )

I got this car because it was the sportiest car with back seats somewhat in my price range in 2001 (I put two Eddie Bauer black leather car seats in the back for the kids - they matched the factory leatehr perfectly and looked pretty cool). Overall, I liked the ownership experience, but I'm not positive I'd buy another given the chance. Maybe an M3, but the price differential was significant. The performance was good for a family car. I had the stick which helped. And the bigger engine (3.0l vs. 2.5l but not the M3 engine) which I would recommend. I also had the sport pack, which was supposed to have a little tighter suspension. The steering was modified after the '01 model becaues the '01 version was a little vague for a performance-oriented car. The overall quality was pretty good, and the ownership experience was decent - at least while you are in the warranty period (which I blew through pretty quickly mileage-wise). You go in for service and your car comes out nice and clean and you feel like "wow, I'm this slick BMW-owner" until your first out-of-warranty service when it comes back filthy and you think "wow, I'm crap when the manufacturer is not reimbursing the dealer for detailing." I liked the looks, at least from the rear. For some reason, I thought the E30 looked better than the E36 (this was an E46, but an evolution of that earlier change). Mine was black, which seems to be the only color I am able to order a car in despite flirting with flashier colors. I never tracked it, but if I had it again, I would. In fact, I kind of wish I still had it as it would be about time to rip out the interior and put in a roll cage.

I loved the versatility of this sports wagon. Fantastic grocery getter, kid hauler, while driving like a sports car! Super gas mileage and dependability!! The build quality is excellent.. very comfortable and the performance is amazing! I LOVE MY BIMMER!!

Owned for over a year with not a blott in its book. Always a joy to get in and travel near or far with enough go to make even the boring trips a pleasure to get to.

i abslutely love my bmw, probably more than i loved my mustang! It rides like a king, looks like a king, and its just awesome! it accelerates like a beauty, the interior is elegant, it doestn eat too much gas.... its perfect!
