2003 Bmw 3 series saloon opinions

[Jow20]

Thinking of getting one of these, lovely to drive and seem fast. Just want opinions on how they look. Do they look dated? Its facelift saloon. Thanks guys.

The M Sport ones look ok with the mv2 alloys. The non sport ones look a bit gash tho. What engine / spec you looking at?

I had a 98 325 coupe. Although it was looking quite dated it was in great nic and drove really well! Oh, and it was ****** quick!!

"Seem fast" - that depends entirely on which engine your budget stretches to.

ive had a 330cl in the past - pants of a car, very and i mean very basic interior and talk about slow - cant have had it for more then 2 months.

It would take something really special before i bought a beamer again.

would prefer a 5 series myself over a 3 series i found the vectra drives much better on motorway than the 3 series
make sure you get a 6 cylinder one much better engine

I test drove a 320 a while back and was fairly tempted, until last winter when I saw loads of them scattered around the roadside, or stuck on their own drive because of a couple of inches of snow! Not just beemers though, mercs as well.

I would still have one, but I would budget for a good set of winter tyres as well!

bms look ok from the outside but interior wise i think there dull and boring to be honest

i chopped in my lovely vec sri for a lovely looking 325ci msport a few years ago after wanting one for a while,was a gorgeous car and was fully loaded with kit but engine was a huge dissapointment,sounded superb but struggled to keep up with a 2.2 vectra sri ! u have to rev that particular engines nuts off and when u changed gear it was back to square one and having to wait for power to kick in again! no torque! had it a few weeks ,got scunnerd and chopped it in for lovely peacock sri vec cdti! nuff said lol

Bit bland inside but so smooth and balanced drive. Can see why they hold value. I want a 335d m sport next
