Say I had $25k to get a used 3-series (or 5, but I doubt that'll happen) .. what do you think I could get? Is there a good place to look at pricing on the web? eGay doesn't seem to be very reliable ..

Cool! Could you tell me about your experience so far?

Can't link eGay here but i think Item 588636063 is a great deal! 1998 328 w/ M3 package for 19.5k .. seems too good to be true.

Nevermind, Here

Umm... $25K seems like a little too much to pay for any used car. Since you're obviously a rich boy, why not toss in another $4K and get yourself a new 3-series? Or if you're willing to compromise a little bit, you can get an Audi A4 for that much.

Ummm... E-B/\y is not the kind of place you get a car from. Try the classified section in the newspaper. If I might ask, do you even have a driver's license?

I think that's what he was getting at...
I have a cheaper 3 series BMW...1993 318i, small 4 banger...but all I could afford..
25 grand american?..
go for a 328i or 325i, i'd say 96-97...I think...
and any modifications that are done should be done proffesionally or they will end up costing you.
Look for rear shock mounts, on top..
I bought mine a year ago, and love it..gonna step up to a 325i hopefully..
If you wanna talk give me a shout..
I got a fair bit more info but too much to list here..
Later...

Where are you located? If you're in the Los Angeles area, you can try :http://www.californiabeemers.com/.

I've never bought anything from them. I've driven by their showroom a few times, I think it is off Santa Monica. They do have quite a few used cars. Though it does kinda bother me that they call themselves &quot;Beemers&quot; vs &quot;Bimmers&quot;. I always thought that &quot;Beemers&quot; referred to the motorcycles, whereas &quot;Bimmers&quot; referred to the cars.

Once again, yes, you can get a used M3 for $25K. My buddy is selling his 95 M3 with about 50K miles for about that much.
