BMW 3-Series Saloon (1998 - 2005) 323i SE 4d Auto (1999/T) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

Obviously couldn't afford a new one LOL

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

Family love, mates think I should have bought the coupe BUT I think with the addition of the Alpina wheels and clear lights, it stands out more than the cooop on the motorway.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Most definitely, especially when I can afford the petrol for real.

What are you likely to buy next?

Looking at a TDi A4, diesel Range Rover or Celica...

Type of dealer you bought from?

Independent

Did you buy this car new?

No

What price did you pay?

£5,995

When did you buy the car?

November 2006

Did you get a good deal and why?

I got first refusal on car after originally looking at 318i and decinding it wasn't powerful enough. Dealer said he was getting this one the next day, saw it, drove it, bought it.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

Wanted something reliable, comfortable and cool.

What was the dealer like?

Very friendly, trustworthy (impressive). Been around for a while, specialises in german cars and had a good selection.

What's it like to drive?

Its a very cool car to drive, on the motorway its soo comfy - then on the lanes its a beast with the steptronic gearbox mode. Steering can be heavy in town but when I drive on the motorway and on the lanes its easy to see why they made it like that.

What's it like to park?

Can parallel park it, reverse park it and stick it in the garage forwards or back so its cool.

Have you had any problems with the car?

Nope, nothing and even though I am trudging it up and down the motorway looks like nothing is going to either.

What's most practical about your car?

On the motorway,cruise control and auto box is proving more useful than I ever thought they would.

Favourite gadget, option or accessory?

Cruise control linked to the auto box.
