Warning: BMW's are addictive. Driving is fun again.

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Acceleration, tight handling, comfy interior, great standard sound system.
Cons: Not a lot of rear interior leg room.

The Bottom Line: Definitely get this car.  Great warranty.

I "graduated" from a German sedan, VW Passat V6, to a BMW 330i. Suddenly I no longer mind sitting in commuter traffic for up to an hour and a half per work day. I have a straight six cylinder BMW 300i. It feels solid like a tank yet agile like the ...

Better going older or newer, or buy new and pick up at the factory

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: probably still the best in its time, powerful fun drive, good compromize
Cons: not as refined as its immediate predecessor, funky design cues
The Bottom Line: worth considering, but expand your search

I leased this car for 3 years from 2004 to 2007, after having leased a 2001 e46 (prior to the smiley faced bangle refresh). Looks aside, this car had every reason to be a better automobile, especially from someone used to one. I had an absolutely ...

Almost Perfect

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Tight, solid, smooth and super responsive. Well built,
Cons: Super small trunk, fold down seats optional. Limited cabin storage, tight back seat. Awful stereo
The Bottom Line: This model is BMWs most reliable and affordable. High resale value. There is no better driving car out there. Rear wheel drive....ahhhhhh love it!

BMW, once you drive one, it is hard to drive anything else. All systems, especially steering, brakes, and suspension work together to become and extension of your will. The engines are super smooth as they are what BMWs are most famous for. This ...

Love my BMW

Pros: The style, handling, the gas mileage, the heated seats.
Cons: Nothing yet.
The car is the perfect size for a couple. If you have kids do not buy this car. It's way to nice to have their feet all over the back seat!!
I don't understand when people complain about the size of a car. If you want a big trunk and a town car size back seat then buy one!!! The BMW is just what they say!! The ultimate Driving. It handles the road better than any other car that I have owned.
The dealer service is great. For the price it's the best SPORTS SEDAN out there. Not family sedan people!!!! It's a sports car 1st, people hauler 2nd.
New car warranty that includes ALL MAINTANENCE. I've now had all brakes replaced, at no charge. Wiper blades on several occasions replaced. Oil changes w/ synthetic oil no charge. The last check up they noticed a small tear in one of the boots. Replaced no charge.
Plus the car is washed and dressed when you pick it up.
Next month I will extend the maintenance warranty for an additional 50000 miles for $1300.00 Plus BMW always provides a loaner. Usually a new BMW. You can't go wrong

Excellent Sports Sedan

Pros: Driving "feel", ergonomics, service at dealership, stiff ride (if that is what you are after)
Cons: Stiff ride (if that is not what you are after)
My wife and I recently purchased a 2004 Certified Pre-owned BMW 325i with a sports and premium package. This is an excellent sports sedan that (with a manual and sports package) rewards the driving enthusiast. If you are not a purist, and want to "relax" while driving- go for the automatic sans sports package. If you want to "cruise" don't buy a BMW- go Mercedes, Volvo, or Japanese. There are more suitable cars for people who are out to "beat the Jones with vanity." When you roll over a dime with this thing- you can tell what year it is, and the vehicle dynamics are nothing less than superb. This car is for people who want a sports car experience but need four doors. Interior craftsmanship is impressive, service at the dealership is top-notch, and as stated- the driving experience is as good as it gets in a sedan!
