What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW 3-Series

Price of the BMW 3-Series: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 414-horsepower 4.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD		 M3 is a bargain in its segment.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 BMW financial does a good job, and price negotiation was no fuss no hassle, based upon local agreements with AAA, Price Club. Was able to convert from purchase to a lease w/o a problem, and saved money doing this.
2007 2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Extremely high factory residuals make leasing this car an excellent option if you tend to buy a new car every 4 years or so.
Price of the BMW 3-Series: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2012 4dr Sedan turbocharged 240hp 2.0L I4
8-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The only down side to a BMW would be with the price tag, but if you demand economy and performance from a dependable and reliabile car, then there is a price.
2009 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 Base model is a rental car. Adding "options" adds $10k to the base instantly, widening the gap between the Infiniti and the Bimmer to...$11k.
2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Car is too expensive in Canada - should be 10% cheaper to match US prices.
2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual AWD		 This car is pretty expensive and the payments are somewhat burdensome, but I understood the cost of entry going into the car buying process. That said, you get what you pay for. This car is still a great value.
2009 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 BMW pricing.
2009 2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8
7-speed automated manual RWD		 I believe it needs to sticker 10-12k less. You can get a Vette GS, a Caddy CTS, for 18K less!
2008 2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8
7-speed automated manual RWD		 No leasing option for physical persons in Greece
2008 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 fuel pump issue, materials low quality
2008 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 Expensive to purchase and expensive to mainatain after warranty expires
2008 4dr Wagon 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Options it up and you are well over $40K for a 230HP sluggish car.
2008 2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD		 This is a problem with most car companies, but by the time you add the options you would actually WANT on your car, you've easily added $7k-$12k to advertised MSRP. Often times things you want are bundled with things you don't want or care
2008 4dr Wagon 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 More expensive yet repair history not as good
2008 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Althought the price reflects general maintenance costs, over the 4 year program, there are significantly reduced numbers of those maintenances performed, ie., oir change, general inspections, no tire rotations, etc.
2008 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 about 25% more expensive than the Infinity, plus dealer add-ons are very expensive
2008 2dr Hardtop conv. turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Reasonably equipped in Canada it is a $75,000 car
2008 2dr Coupe 414-horsepower 4.0L V8
6-speed manual RWD		 very expensive
2007 2dr Coupe turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The car is more expensive than it should be for what you get in the purchase. I think you pay well for the BMW emblem.
2007 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Features like AWD are not standard. These features quickly increases the price when added.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 Kinda high in price.
2007 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Roughly 50K for a fully equipt vehicle. Dealers would not discount. However, lease program was attractive but I did not want to lease.
2007 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Cost more than average car
2007 4dr Wagon 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 high priced - but may be worth it for the vehical
2007 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Too expensive for what you get. Even used the price is not worth the lack of styling, and undesirable & upredicable accelarator & shifting, and sensitive unpredicable braking.
2007 2dr Coupe 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Too expensive. Too many options installed in cars at dealer inventory.
2007 4dr Sedan 230-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 premium brand, paying for performance but US to Canada is a ripoff. same car is 10k less in USA.
2006 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Expensive car.
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Sometimes things get expensive when you build a new car.
2006 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 The price of a new 3-Series is on the rise, in turn increasing the average payment and making it harder for some to justify the $50-60K cost of a midsize sedan.
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Pricey for us poor public servants.
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 It is an expensive car and offering less options, comparing to the competition. Without warrantee, the maintenance cost is mind blowing. Electrical malfunction occurs quite often, so be prepared to save up for your annual repair.
2006 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 The price was high for the features and performance compared to the A4 and the TL.
2006 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 Especially when "packages" are included, can be very expensive, even in 325, 328 versions. Some packages force odd accessories to get useful ones.
2006 4dr Sedan 215-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Pretty expensive compared to Japanese cars of similar design.
2006 4dr Sedan 255-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 BMWs are definitely spendy for what you get.
2005 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual AWD		 a little oversprice- just due to the brand name factor.
2005 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 BMW quality comes with a BMW price tag. Ouch.
2005 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 A little more expensive than competing makes/models, but worth it.
2004 4dr Wagon 184-horsepower 2.5L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 If you buy a CPO, the price is much higher than private party.
2004 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 They cost more. I prefer a used BMW to any new Asian car.
2004 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 The grouping of options into "packages" usually includes one item that you want and cannot get any other way with several other expensive things that you do not want, but cannot delete from your order (i.e. auto dimming mirrors with lumbar support).
2004 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 maintenance is $$$ relative to other brands
2004 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed manual RWD		 expensive, but holds its value well.
2004 2dr Coupe 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed automated manual RWD		 It is expensive.
2003 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed manual AWD		 Ridiculous for what you get. Extra cost metallic paint and folding rear seat! Vinyl seats in a $30k+ car?!
2003 4dr Wagon 184-horsepower 2.5L I6
5-speed manual AWD		 They are expensive to purchase, and to maintain.
2002 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 pay too much for the "NAME"
2002 4dr Sedan 184-horsepower 2.5L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Price is a bit high once you add the "options" that should be included like sunroof, leather, HID lights and such
2002 2dr Coupe 184-horsepower 2.5L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 As this car is subject for taxation at many levels you will always pay more. The cost of parts is not as high as you would think.
2002 4dr Sedan 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed manual RWD		 Expensive
