1993 BMW 3 Series Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1993 BMW 3 Series are pleasantly surprised by the car's performance and longevity, often highlighting its excellent handling, reliability, and fun driving experience. Many appreciate its aesthetic appeal and the lower maintenance costs compared to expectations. However, some drivers wish for more power and better acceleration at lower RPMs, noting that the engine feels small for the size of the car."
There's a reason it's called The Ultimate Driving Machine. The handling is just phenomenal. The looks can't be beat, the E36 is gorgeous. What else can you say about the iconic 3 series? The 3 series is the backbone of the Bayerishe Motoren Werke!
October 24, 2011The acceleration is great! The braking is excellent. The handling could be a little better. The build quality is awesome, almost no repairs. The interior is very comfortable and suprisingly modern for a 1993. the exterior design is great as well. This car is low maintenance and gets about 20-27 mpg. Very fun to drive in! Makes getting to and from places enjoyable.
September 13, 2008While not quite a "sports car," the combined function of performace, four doors, and a trunk, has never been better integrated than in the BMW 3-series.

April 28, 2008I Love the body style in general, it's a very well proportioned car, great handeling and excelleration, granted it's not the most powerful engine, but a very good one none the less, easy to take care of and easy to make your own style. Many different options to add onto this car for fairly cheap, also it is a very inexpensive BMW at this point.
October 17, 2008I own a 1993 BMW 325IS. I love this car, the handling is top notch, braking is perfect, and the acceleration is much faster then my previous owned 1990 525I. This car has the M3 body kit, Halo Headlights, Carbon Fiber Taillights, Racing Mirrors, Dinan CPU Chip, Transmission Chip and AC Schitzner Gauges. The gas milage is excellent getting 23 MPG in the city and around 28 MPG on the Highway. This car is a blast to drive and always a head turner, highly recommend!!!
May 30, 2011The car has responsive acceleration, and torque. Its a lot of fun to drive. the car will take a lot of abuse, it was built strong. Gas mileage isn't that great, but its good for the power that the car has.
September 9, 2009This car would have been great back in 1993. This car has taken much abuse from previous owners and has been slowly deteriorating. I had to replace the head gasket, head and all seals. The performance of this car was alright but would have been much better back when it rolled off of the factory production line. I will admit that for as small of an engine it has (2.5 I6) it had some balls. The interior is beautiful but the seats are fairly hard but that is normal for German made cars. Overall the car is beautiful but not once you need to repair it...expensive and extensive, the problems never stop.
March 10, 2009I love the dependability, constant quality performance and how I feel while driving it. I particularly love the location of the gear shift, it is very fun to drive. High cost of ownership is a myth, it is so far my best car experience
December 30, 2008performance- the car runs very good but is missing a bit horse power for my taste, braking and handling is ok as it does not have the new electrical assistance so all is on the driver Build quality - quality parts and it will last Appearance- without a doubt excellent looking car Cost of Ownership - depends how much and how u drive but it can take a bit more fuel easy Fun Factor - very fun to drive, runs smoothly
November 25, 2010This ride was the proverbial little old ladie's car before my son Evan and his friend Joey got their hands on it. Now she sports Bilstein coil-overs, Conti Extreme Contacts, freeflow air intake , headers and sport exhaust and looks and runs like the classic she is. Built prior to traction control, she wears four (4) Nokian Hikkapeliitta 2, T-rated directional snows here in our northeastern Ohio winters and follows in the tracks of her predecessor, an Audi A-4 Avant Sport never missing a beat. This one's a keeper. Good girls don't come cheap!
