    I bought my 325xi sedan in 2007 and have had a great experience with it so far. The car handles like a dream and hugs the road. It also has good fuel economy despite the fact that premium fuel is mandatory.

    I have always purchased American made vehicles, until now. I fell in love with the design at first of the BMW 325i but never thought I would be able to afford one. Guess what, it is almost the same price as the American vehicles I have looked at. I have 2 children under the age of 6, they have plenty of room in the back seat. Besides that, I feel that this car is designed so well that each time I get going on the road...I am sure I will get to where I am going without any trouble. This 325i BMW is just what I have always wanted, and it looks sharp as well. I chose Black on Black with a 5-speed. It was worth the wait coming over from Germany.

    This car has got to be the best car to handle curves and extremely fun to drive.

  • An unbeatable comination - 2004 BMW 3-Series

    Having own an anemic Saab turbo for the past few years, it was quite refreshing to test drive the BMW. I was originally looking for an AWD sedan for the New England winter but fell instantly in love with the driving characteristics of the BMW. The combination of acceleration, handling and the deep exhaust note was intoxicating. The ride is firm but not jarring, and the seats are comfortable and supportive. Add the muscular yet sophisticated look, this BMW is a real gem.

    my bmw convertible is just a great car. it is fun and a real eye catcher. people stop to look and ask questions. all my friends want to drive it, i say get your own. i drive about a hr each way to work and i never think will i get there, it is just so reliable, a real pretty workhorse. if anyone is on the fence about buying one get off it and take the plunge, and find out what driving is all about, fun , getting a suntan in the summer, wind blowing thru your hair. get one. my family now owns four bmws
