Pros: Aesthetically pleasing; AWESOME handling; good gas mileage for such power; comfortable and flexible front seating.

Pros: The Ultimate Driving Machine.
Cons: Not for kiddies or those looking for the "Ultimate in Luxury."
The Bottom Line: If you actually like to "drive", buy a BMW. At least test drive one. Have a little fun in your life.
It's true, after buying this car, I probaly won't ever leave BMW. There is just something about getting in my BMW that is different from the other cars I have owned.
Before my 328is (the coupe) I owned a Nissan Pathfinder, a Mazda 626, and a ... read more

This is my wife's car but I drive it frequently. In the half-year we've owned it we've added 10,000 miles to bring it to a 60,000 mile total. And for a three-year old car it has behaved in exemplary fashion... which should be becoming for a car coming ... read more

Pros: Awesome driving experience. A true performance sedan. A lifetime love affair.
Cons: Expensive to maintain; tends to incite Mario Andretti-like behavior from the driver and from other drivers.

Pros: very quiet ride; good features

I bought this vehicle because I thought it was more practical than the little Z roadster. I enjoy this car's handling, speed, and size. It is sleek and low to the ground. The interior is nice leather, you do not use Armor-All on this leather. BMW has ... read more

The 3-series is the Best introduction to the BMW line. Always get the six-cylinder, you won't regret it. Stay away from the Sports package unless you like a hard ride - the regular leather seating is great.
This car will not fail you. It ... read more
