First OwnerWhen the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.

Ownership HistoryCARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions represent changesin ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle history.Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1994 and titled solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealerssometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio,Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history.

LeaseWhen someone leases a car from a dealer, the dealer actually sells the vehicle to a leasing company. The leasing company thencollects payments for the vehicle from the new owner for 24, 36, 48 or more months. A leasing company can be an independent cardealer or a car manufacturer.

New Owner ReportedWhen a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles.

Title IssuedA state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or registrationrecord on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in ownership. In Canada, a registration and bill of sale are usedas proof of ownership.

CARFAX History Impact™Accidents, service records, number of owners and many other history factors can impact a vehicle's value. The CARFAX HistoryImpact is a tool that analyzes millions of used car transactions to measure how the combination of all the information reported toCARFAX impacts the value of a particular vehicle. The vehicle's retail book value plus the CARFAX History Impact will give you a moreaccurate measure of the vehicle's value.

New Car Test Drive Review

Category: Review:Summary: These are indeed the ultimate driving machines.

By Mitch McCullough, Editor-in-Chief, NewCarTestDrive.com

BMW's 3 Series cars offer a truly satisfying driving experience. They offer rear-wheeldrive and five-speed gearbox, and BMW's commitment to this combination speaksvolumes about its priorities.Other cars in this price range surpass the 3 Series in significant areas. The Lexus ES300 is smoother and far quieter, and the Acura TL provides roomier rear seatingaccommodations and more features for less cash. But those are near-luxury cars,while the BMW is a true sports sedan. If driving satisfaction is top priority, one of the3 Series models should top your shopping list.Which model? The 325i sedan is a terrific car and you may never miss the power ofthe 330i. The sport wagons add space and versatility and the only way we could tellwe weren't driving a sedan was to glance into the rear view mirror; it's taut. Coupesadd sports appeal with their two-door styling, while split rear seats offer someversatility. The convertible, well, do you have to ask? The 330 models add a lot ofperformance to the equation. All-wheel drive offers winter capability to a car not notedfor that and is equipped with a more sophisticated Dynamic Stability Control system.The M3 is the best high-performance car on the market that isn't a total exotic. Ordermine with the Sequential Manual Gearbox.Concerned about maintenance costs? Free scheduled maintenance for four years or50,000 miles comes standard with all 2003 BMW 3 Series models.These BMWs are superb cars and that's why the 3 Series continues to be thebenchmark for sports sedans. It's been that way since the late 1970s, and we don'tsee it changing.

Overview: This is the benchmark. The BMW 3 Series cars are the aspiration for everyautomaker building a sports sedan or mid-size luxury sedan.There's a good reason for that. The 3 Series cars are superb. Whether it's the 325i orthe M3, these are terrific driver's cars.
