Fun Car if you afford it!
 After owning the 323 for three years, I 
can tell you it has been a joy to 
drive. The handling and overall feel of 
the vehicle is better than anything 
Ive ever driven. The only reason I 
would caution potential buyers is the 
reliability has proven to be poor. I 
have had interior trim fall off, many 
sensors blown and strange electrical/
computer malfunctions. Fortunately, the 
very expensive repairs were covered 
under an excellent warranty program. 
But, with the warranty ending, the 
annual repair costs will be high.  
Check with many on line forums 
discussing the BMW H46 and Consumer 
Reports, which recently removed the 3 
series from their recommended list.
