This is my first post and my first visit to this site. I'm finally selling my Lincoln Navigator to get something a little more practical, and I've been looking at a 2000+ 323ci. I have never driven or ridden in any kind of Bimmer before, and I was just wondering if you guys could let me know how well they ride, handle, etc. Another thing that worries me is the fact that I don't know how reliable BMW's are. Are they as bad as a Benz? I just need something nice looking and reliable to cruise around in, I'm not looking to beat the hell out of it at the track or anything. Thanks in advance!
