Overall Average Rating: 87.5%
Position in the Top 100 cars: 21st

No change here – last year the 3-Series also came in at 21. Yet a few scores jump out for the wrong reasons. Its poor ride rating is caused by the sporty suspension, while the lack of practicality is down to the tight boot and optional folding rear seats.

Running costs fail to impress: 46th is little better than average. Is good economy ruined by high servicing costs?

Manufacturer Verdict (Position: 8th)

It trails Lexus, but BMW will be delighted to see that it’s still ahead of Mercedes and Audi… just. The brand has fallen two places overall this year, and will look to reverse that trend in 2010.

stylish convertible however as it was 1 of the first models produced have had saftey recall for fuel injectors faulty clutch that was replaced, a niggle of a rattle repaired but now back, not much but as my first BMW convertible fabric roof,and . was replaced free of charge by BMW ,I am wary of any problem however since the first BMW I have had 2 further fabric roof convertibles with no problems. However there was a problem with the engine that took a couple of days to solve as the problem was intermittent and I had to stand my ground with the de.alerOverall the car is stylish and solid but feel overpriced and have lost a great deal of depreciation in the 32 months we have had this car and is a really long car longer than the tourer! Our fault but were seduced by the styling however prefer the soft top versions.

It broke down on delivery from new - replaced fuel injectors, Clutch replaced under warranty as warped! Continual engine management issues with multiple parts replaced - all solved for a month or so and then re appear, but a different unit fails. Injectors, ignition modules, ecu, software remapped to newer version etc etc. So dissapointed, my 1st BMW and it's rubbish. Problems well documented agoungt owners with 2.0 Petrol engine 3 series, buy BMW wont admit it - it gets fixed everytime but just delays the inevitable. Dont even think about using it in the snow either. I feel sorry for who ever owns it privately in the future. Thank heavens I will replace it this year. I own my own TVR and it's far more reliable than this BMW has been!

Love my BMW. Though the car is great, the BMW dealership and the people you have to deal with when things go wrong is the worst experience ever. I have a mechanic work on my car and never deal with BMW directly because they are the worst people ever and they take advantage of their customers when problems arise. You can take your car in for an oil change and be given a list that is a complete fabrication on what else they recommend you replace. They like to rip off their customers and make it difficult to keep buying BMW's because of their terrible customer service. If my mechanic retires, I will sell all my BMW's and go elsewhere even though they are a gorgeous drive.

At first I would not have ever purchased a BMW, ironically because of the badge. However this 330d is a superbly build car, and very well engineered. Some of the main dealer parts prices are a bit high, but then there's always GSF & EuroCarParts if you really get stuck.
Driving it really is a dream, the handling and dynamics do make me feel connected to the car and able to feel what is happening, and with enough power from the 3 litre diesel unit for it still to be a bit of fun.
Having driven to the south of France easily and without a problem and having been around the Nurburgring in it it really is the best compromise between sensible saloon and sports that can be made.

The BMW is the M3 version, Its a legend to drive and fun in every way, the down side is not the car but the roads and congestion in this country.
I enjoy driving this car, it is satisfying, and to fully enjoy the M3's abilities I take it to Europe just to drive on their wonderful, smooth ( in comparison to UK ) and relatively uncongested roads and motorway networks. The UK road network is the PITS.
Any one who owned this type of car will know what it does for the driver, more smiles per miles than your average car.
Even though the car is now 8 years old it has only driven less than 30k miles, so no great problems with it either.

The E46 2 litre diesel has been a complete disaster. DMF, clutch and gearbox problems. Failed brake caliper, failed injector and the swirl flap of cylinder 2 was injested into the engine requiring it to be rebuilt. BMW service is £120 per hour and they didn't detect that the smooth running part of the engine management system had activated. I was charged £223.99 in "Diagnostics" for my second clutch and DMF to be declared faulty. BMW Customer Service and BMW Finance do not care about their customers at all. The rear wheel drive was not able to cope with the snow.

I bought an ex demonstrator 7 month old BMW 330i M Sport in Jun 06. The ECU had to be replaced shortly after I purchased the car but following the replacement the car has been fantasic. There have been no other mechanical or reliability issues. Even servicing has been great, no surprises. Overall this has been one of the best cars I've owned and would definitely consider buying another 3 series.

It's a BMW 330i with the sport package. Suffered from a couple of traditional BMW electrics faults in the first couple of years.

The 3 series coupe is a beautifully designed car. Stunning to look at, but it has a poor engine that lets it down in every way. The Efficient Dynamic engines are running too lean and seem prone to putting too much stress on the engine causing components to fail far too early for the age of the car.
