2000 Bmw 323i Reviews.. Whats Your Opinion?

[BMW Dr1ver]

Ive been into BMW's for a while now, but havent owned one for 2 years. I sold my 2000 323i a while back, and im thinking of getting another. I was wondering if you guys have been having good luck with yours. I LOVED mine when i had it, but it was just a baby... How are they holding up?!?!

Here are the specs:

2000 323i - Loaded
Auto w/ step
68k miles
black ext - gray leather int.

I believe it has all the packages.. (sport/premium/cold weather). It has a moonroof, heated seats, fog lights, HK sound, sport suspenion, buttons on the steering wheel... etc)

how much is a car like this worth?

Here is a pic of my old 323i.... thanks for your input!!

You could probably still get $20K for it. I bought my 2000 323ci last may with 26,000 miles on it for $20K. Send me some info on those rims if you can. I'm gettin some new ones in the spring and those would look damn fine on my car.

The rims are BBS Moda R6's...i think a company called Radius bought them out. Im not sure if they still make them.

they are 19x9 with 225/40/19 tires

I bought my 2000 323i over a year ago. it had 75k when i bought it, now it has 109k. it was in awesome condition and it still is. I haven't done anything except routine maintenance so far. Nothing has broke. I think it still feels pretty tight - still no major interior rattles or anything like that. Engine feels great - doesn't consume any oil that I can detect.
I love the car - plan on replacing it with an updated one when the time comes.
I expect the need to replace some ball joints in the next year or two. I'm guessing the life of those to be less than 150k even though they still feel fine.
Mine is a manual tranny. I personally wouldn't buy one without, not only because I prefer to shift myself, but because I don't trust the longevity of bmw automatics.

I have had a 2000 bmw 323i since new and have never had any problems other than trying to sell the damn thing

Bought mine in March 2003 with 41K for $22,000. I had BMW certified warranty and had to replace the tranny (at 95K) last fall (Covered by warranty). Other than re-charging the A/C (Also was covered by warranty, unexpectedly), no other major problems. I just had a tune-up; changed plugs, belts, oxy sensors. Overall, the car has been holding up pretty well and I can see holding onto the car for quite some time. 112K as of today... "Knock on wood"

I've got 91K on my 2000 328i and it still runs like new. So far, I've had to replace an air intake boot ($12), the final stage unit ($71) and a camshaft sensor ($100), plus general maintenance items (filters, pads, rotors, fluids, etc.)
