The 2000 BMW 3 Series is available in six models: the 323i and 328i sedans and the all new 323Ci and 328Ci coupes, 323Ci convertible and 323i Sport wagon. The completely redesigned coupes feature a four-function on board computer and automatic climate control with auto recirculation which upon detection of high level of pollution outside will automatically recirculate cabin air until the outside air is clear. The new 323i Sport wagon offers versatility including 48 cubic feet of cargo volume, standard roof rack and stiffer rear suspension to handle varying cargo loads. The all-new 323Ci convertible offers new front seat integrated safety belts and a special easy entry feature lets rear passengers enter and exit easily.

2000 BMW 3 Series
Author's Review
As a late twenty-something banking on some future income, I came across this entry level BMW amidst a field of other well-respected car lines such as Acura, Volvo, and Audi.
I decided on getting a BMW not because of price, but rather because of it's clear superior quality. After test driving an A4, a 3.2TL, and the Volvo S40, the 323i just blew me away and was far and above the best. Little was I prepared for the pleasures of driving a rear-wheel drive vehicle, and having been hit with a six-inch snow storm literally a few days after driving off the lot, my fears about poor-weather handling were gone. It did fine, and it performs just as well on any other road condition.
Having driven an Audi 80 for the past few years and having grown accustomed to German engineering, I didn't think driving could get much more fun, but it has. I shelled out the money to get the Premium package with leather and the H/K stereo system, but it's worth it. My commute every morning is fun rather than a chore now. Simply put, this car makes driving FUN. The car is so responsive, I take curves with confidence. And the engine purrs with power when needed. If you have the money, and are looking to enter that next level in cars, I highly recommend this vehicle!
The only drawback I can think of is the price one pays for premuim gasoline and the less than superior gas mileage that the larger engine requires. Otherwise, enjoy the ride.
