Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: MPG, silky six, cargo capacity, fun to drive, AWD and traction control grip great
Cons: Harmon Kardon stereo needs a subwoofer, window regulators break.
The Bottom Line: If your a skier/snowboarder looking for a replacement for your gas guzzling SUV then this may be the perfect car for you!
This past ski season I was in Vermont and I took a corner a little too fast and my Nissan Pathfinder slid right off the road and into a ditch. So when I was looking for a new set of wheels I had a list of things the car would have to do for me. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: pretty much everything to do with a car: design, engine, value, quality
Cons: no panic alarm, lack of gadgets for the money, needs 6th gear.
The Bottom Line: Unless you're in LOVE with what you're driving, if you have the chance to get a good deal on one of these, get it!
I've been driving my '02 325XI for about a year. It was kind of on impulse; it was a used car on sale at the Saturn dealership where I was servicing my ION (process that for a second, if you will...). I got the Manual which is a little tricky to get ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handling, speed, comfort and the sweet looks of a Bimmer!
Cons: PRICE! They're easily overpriced, don't get suckered!
The Bottom Line: Don't settle for anything less than what you really want! I'm so glad that I didn't!!! THIS CAR IS A PERFECT 10 OUT OF 10!!!
I love this car! The 330i has been my dream car for about 3 years now and I spent forever trying to find one that was perfect but not a total rip off. This car is everything I dreamed of and more!!! I researched every single possible car that was even ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fast as hell, awesome exhaust sound, tremendous braking, unflappable handling, comfortable and prestigious
Cons: Convertible top rattles some, suspension a bit stiff for rough roads or casual driving
The Bottom Line: The M3 convertible is the fastest, most beautiful, and most prestigious convertible sports car out there. Plus it has a back seat and even a decent trunk.
I bought my 2002 M3 Convertible slightly used, with 15,000 miles on it. The steel-gray color is beautiful and by far the best color out there -- cooler looking than the carbon black and FAR better than the boring, too-common silver. I opted for the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fun solid car, reliable, quick. AWD is the feature that won me over.
Cons: Interior ergonomics and design is uninspired.
The Bottom Line: Good buy, but consider and test drive Lexus models which are lower priced. I may have gotten one of these but they do not have AWD.
I've had this car for over a year now. I haven't had any problems with it and the engine has started every time I have turned the key. Driving is lots of fun, however, most of my driving is not on long winding roads along the coast of California; it's ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: BMW feel, solid, great road manners, safety, quality
Cons: $, ergonomics a bit off, did I say $
The Bottom Line: Sport sedan for all seasons.
I recently traded in my 2001 Audi A4 Quattro 1.8T for an almost new 2002 BMW 330xi. My wife really didn't like the Audi's safety record (although the new version did better) and I wasn't thrilled with the turbo lag (very small but still there).

The Bottom Line: the car is the best value anywhere !!!
the all new 333hp 6 speed m3 is a marval of engineering.no aspect of the vehicle has been untouched or unthought of.the inline 6 cylinder not only makes 105 hp per liter but for a 6 cylinder, it redlines at 8000 rpm.the amount of engineering put into the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Outstanding engine, world-class handling, great brakes, crisp steering, comfortable interior, solid as a rock
Cons: Sport suspension can be harsh on some roads, um.........
The Bottom Line: This is as close as you can get to an actual racecar. New engine, new suspension, new transmission, new styling inside and out. What more could you ask for?
Prior to purchasing this M3, my dad had a 1998 E36 M3, which we took to area driving schools. This M3 is so much different than the previous M3. This E46 suspension is much tighter than the E36 suspension, not to say that the E36 suspension was loose, ... read more

This car is nothing short of amazing, The exterior has been changed from 2002 (very minor), but the changes were perfect, the car looks sleeker than ever. There is also an new option of Black leather and Camel Brown leather, both beautiful colors. I ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handles like a dream and corners like it's on rails!
Cons: Convertible top requires silicon spray to keep from squeaking.
The Bottom Line: If you can afford the cost, the insurance and the tickets, and put up with possible failures, it's just about the perfect car.
I walked into the dealership on New Year's Eve looking to order a 330xi. The sales guy saw me looking at the silver M3 Cabriolet with Imola (a color for a German car named after an Italian race track?) Red leather seat and midnight blue top. He tells me ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Sports car handling and power, combined with the utility of a sedan
Cons: This car may turn you into an incurable driveoholic.
The Bottom Line: This vehicle will awaken (or re-awaken) the joy of driving, and may induce a serious compulsion to spend every weekend on road trips.
We've logged a little over 300 miles on our 2002 330Cic convertible and are ecstatic about it. We previously wrote a review of a 2001 330i coupe that we had as a loaner car while our BMW X5 was being serviced. That review has been moved so that it now ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Engine, Handling, Power, Appearance, comfort, lack of availability
Cons: Pricey
The Bottom Line: If you have $$ for a car like this, and you are a real car lover, there is no finer machine on the market these days.
The E46 style M3 has been a work in progress since the E36 ended in 1999, last year, 2001, was the first model year for this new model. The 2002 model has a few nice additions from 2001 includng a new transmission choice, along with some new colors. ... read more

Pros: Exciting, refined, capable 4 seater sports car
Cons: Makes me wish I had a longer commute. Rear visibility restricted with top up.
The Bottom Line: Why did I wait so long to own a BMW convertible?
I've owned this car for about six weeks and have over 1,200 miles on the odometer. We ordered it back in July and collected it on October 16, one of the first 2002 models to arrive at the Houston dealership, Advantage BMW (***** by the way!)

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: BMW handling, great engine, great interior, prestige, gorgeous coupe
Cons: "Softy" auto transmission, sedate compared to previous iterations, expensive, sedan is over styled
The Bottom Line: Great car, but very expensive for the class. Get it with a manual tranny or get a 5 series instead for almost the same money.
I recently attended a BMW clinic and had a chance to spend some time driving a 330 rear wheel drive sedan with an automatic transmission. No restrictions, open roads and parking lots with cones. Boy was that fun... I hope they dont sell this car as new ... read more

Pros: Why buy? Reliable, fantastic looker, amazing breaks, perfect for day-to-day commute.
Cons: Slightly crammed in the back and fuel stops (you'll drive faster than you normally would)!
I've owned the car about a year now. Bought it second hand with 17k km on the meter. Had previously a 1995 E36 325i convertible. Absolutely thrilled about this machine. Abundant power which is great on Hong Kong's mountainous roads. Lot's of torque
