I'm looking into getting a used 01-03 BMW 3 series, I heard those years have a lot of problems.

I just turned in my 03 325i lease and had only one problem in the 3 years I owned it. The transmission started downshifting hard when I would approach a stop, they just had to recalibrate the transmission chip. I did get the front and rear brakes replaced but they were covered under warranty and that was a wear item. Overall I loved my car and would wholeheartedly endorse getting one (and yes I did get another BMW).

Great car.....costly to maintain if it is kept up to BMW standerds and maintained by a certified BMW technician. I have an 03 with 89K miles. Never a problem but maintenance is a bit costly. It is a true driving machine.

I've a 2000 3 series. Has 104000 miles and engine runs real good. No problem at all, touch wood.

Very. I have a 2001 325xi with 126,000 miles and it drives like new. Biggest issue is suspension parts, i.e. ball joints, control arms, but these are normal wear items.
