How reliable is a BMW 3 Series?
Are the 3 Series BMWs reliable? I’m getting ready to buy my first car and I want to make sure I’m making a good choice. Will a 3 Series last me for a long time?

In general,
BMW
3 Series are considered to have an average to good reliability rating. Of course, the actual longevity and reliability of a 3 Series will depend largely on the exact make and model year.Overall, you can expect most 3 Series vehicles last from 200,000 to 250,000 miles before requiring major repairs. This means that your car could last 13 to 17 years depending on how often you drive!
Whether you choose a BMW or a different vehicle for your first car, you’ll also need car insurance. Check out the
