Review

This is my first BMW but it won't be my last. My wife and I have had so much fun driving this automobile, I used to think that a car always needed power to have fun but the way the car handles is remarkable. I have not had the car long enough to gauge the reliability but so far so good.

Favorite Features

All of the safety features. DSC, side air bags, rain sensing wind shield, and great brakes

Suggested Improvements

Can't think of any

I love this car! It is fun to drive and safe. With the AWD, I feel secure in snow and rain. I would recommend this car to anyone.

Favorite Features

The AWD.

Seats can get a little stiff after sitting in NYC traffic for a while.

2005 BMW 3 Series 325i Rwd 4dr Sedan (2.5L 6cyl 5M)

Review

A dramatic change from the Lincoln Town Car I previously drove. The 325i corners beautifully. The automatic transmission changes gears so smoothly it is almost imperceptible. Ergonomics of the dashboard are excellent - its layout is intuitive. Truly a very well designed car.

Favorite Features

Handling - the car goes where you point it.

Suggested Improvements

More storage space for sunglasses, cell phone, pens, parking cards, transponders, and all the other "stuff" that accumulate in cars (and often end up on the floor) and

Review

This is the best car I have ever purchased. My only regret was not doing it sooner. Words cannot do justice to the feel of this car, but it is superb. The 2.5 liter engine has enough power for me, and the interior and exterior design is timeless.

Favorite Features

Drive, seats, dash layout.

Suggested Improvements

Rear seat and trunk room, but that's not why I bought the car!

2005 BMW 3 Series 325i Rwd 4dr Sport Wagon (2.5L 6cyl 5M)

Review

One of the few wagons we tested that you did not feel your driving experience was being taken away as punishment for buying a wagon.

Favorite Features

Drives like its sedan cousin. On wheel controls and hands free are nice extras.

Suggested Improvements

Engine seems a little underpowered; could use little more spirit on the hills.

2005 BMW 3 Series 330i Rwd 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

Thirty-five years of GM, Volkswagen, and Japanese in my garage, and when it came time for a new ride, figured there'd be more of the same. Stumbled across a BMW dealer, stopped in for laughs. A minute in a 330i, and I stopped laughing. I had to have this car. It WANTS to go, and hang on to your hat, it's quick, not just fast, even without the performance package. Exhilarating to drive, handling must be experienced to be believed. Elegant simplicity to the interior design. Handsome exterior exudes class. HK sound system is nice, but the growl of the engine is the car's real music.

Favorite Features

Wife adamant about automatic transmission. Steptronic splits the difference nicely. Handling is superior to anything else I've ever driven, and it's not close. Driving is fun again!

Suggested Improvements

Put the handbrake on the floor to add storage space under the arm rest.

2005 BMW 3 Series 330Ci Rwd 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

I have checked out other $35k-$55k convertibles and the BMW 330ci was the all around best fit for my enjoyment with driving, power, style, handling. I have just ordered my 330ci and am looking forward to getting behind the wheel. The dealership has a great reputation and is very important for me. This is my 1st BMW and so far very satisfied.

Favorite Features

The Steptronix auto transmission is smooth and versatile. 4/50000 100% maintenance program takes a lot of decisions out of owning the car (Time will tell)

Review

A smooth engine and superb handling make this an enjoyable drive in town or out on the twisties. A somewhat dated design that still attracts attention.

Favorite Features

Handling, good looks, and quality build.

Suggested Improvements

Could use a bit more power.
