4.5out of 5 overall- 5.0
Great Reliability so far
by Jrny on 8/29/2026 11:47:55 PM
I bought this car when it was 5 years old and had 17k miles. So far, with approximately 9 years and 100k miles that I have driven, I have had to do only tires, brakes, scheduled fluid replacements and two minor repairs (brake lights and a stretched front door cable). This is not the horror show I was expecting. I am watching the feared timing chain guide rails ( the reported weakness of this engine). So far no rattle. I have ignored the BMW oil change schedule which is a 10,000 mile interval. I have changed the oil every 5k since I purchased it, and I believe that is why my timing chain is still working. This has turned out to be the most reliable car I have ever owned (I am 62). - 5.0
Unproblematic, Refined, and Powerful.
by Mike Boudreaux on 6/27/2026 5:49:41 PM
I have a 1 of 1,489 ActiveHybrid3’s sold in the US. Mine came with the shadowline trim and is an original M-Sport. After 134,000 flawless miles I have nothing but praise for this 340 horsepower partial hybrid. Only needed maintenance on these cars is the plastic charge pipe and sometimes a Fuel tank vent valve. Otherwise, it has been unproblematic for spans of 10-20,000 miles at a time where I have done nothing to it. - 5.0
Awesome Car!

I have owned this model since May 2019; and it has been the most enjoyable driving experience I have ever had (I've been driving for 45 years). The handling and transmission are second to none in my opinion. Great car for long road trips. Comfortable; but I'd change the front seats if I could to something a little higher. I understand the ground clearance is low due to the "performance" aspect of the car; but it's the only thing I'd change to make it perfect, apart from the addition of Android Auto. My next car will be an SUV I feel. Easier to get in and out of. I love having the "old school" hard tactile buttons and knobs for everything. I don't want so many things embedded in an infotainment touch screen. I prefer the gear shifter to be a proper shifter and not a push button or a stub. The newer models of today have eliminated all that I enjoy in the interior controls. Sure, BMWs are expensive to maintain and/or repair; but when they're running smoothly it's worth it! Even the horn is so much "meatier" than other cars! I probably won't buy another 3 series in my lifetime; but I'll be reluctant to give this one up! Another thing I like it that it was assembled in South Africa, and the transmission was built in Eastern Europe. I would still recommend anyone thinking about buying a 3 series to do it. Reviews everywhere back me up in my opinion!
