  Nice, but not well built - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By James Chun - May 30 - 7:50 pm

  Fun to drive when its willing to work. Many trips to dealership. All problems were fixed at free of cost. but what will happen after warranty expires? Ill be doomed... power window failed twice. Trunk opens on its own(dealer thoght I was crazy but later they found the problem and fixed)small but annoying rattle coming from the dash board. Brake pad squeaks but dealer says its supposed to do that.. auto headlight is on day and night. if you really want a BMW then go for it.. but dont buy it. lease it.

  ITS A HOT CAR!!! - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By SUZY D - May 30 - 10:00 am

  I finally got what I wanted! In 2002 I went to purchase a 325 Convertible and ended up leaving with a 525I. I thought the 325 would be to small, I have 2 teenagers. Even though I LOVED the 525 I still wanted the 325 convertible. In May I finally got the 325 -- IT IS HOT!!! I miss the size and luxury of the 525, but it was never this much fun to drive!!!

  BMW 330i SPEED :-) - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By patrick - May 30 - 2:20 am

  I have had this car for 1 year now and love it. It has the zhp package which makes it like a 4 door m3. Its very fast. I recently learned of a race mode for it. Put it in sport mode then the button (DSC) push and hold for 4 seconds a dsc light comes on allong with a orange light that says brake. When you get it in this put your foot on the floor from a stop and feel the POWER.

  Great car, however... - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By BMW Driver - May 28 - 12:56 pm

  Too many issues. I love my car, however I am taking it in for service at least once a month. The moldings around doors, windows, and fan motor break on a regular basis.

  330ci ZHP 5-A, Nice drive - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Sierck - May 26 - 5:04 pm

  Nice running and handling car, fun to drive on the country twisties. Engine revs easily, wants to go. Seats are superior, much more comfortable than my other car, 1999 Lexus GS300. I like to drive the Lexus, I love to drive the BMW. Just 1000 miles so far, no problems yet. AC seems to work great, was worried about black leather in florida, but ac cools quickly. Had also worried about the firm ride of the ZHP performance package, but rides nice on highways and newer roads, I dont regret the comfort tradeoff for the incredible handling, even sport suspension still quite civilized. All in all, very happy that I purchased this vehicle.

  JACKS OPINION - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By JACK - May 17 - 10:00 am

  This is an awesome vehicle. Great handling at low and high speeds. You can still hear the radio and talk to other passengers on the highway with the top down. Good warranty and maintenance is included (perk from my dealer) It is "The Ultimate Driving Machine"

  A Benchmark Is A Benchmark!!!For Reason! - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Larry Chen - May 10 - 10:00 am

  I got this car 5 months ago. The handling is definitely the best in the class. The steering is so precise and communicative; the braking is so powerful and linear; the suspension offers lots of feedback without any punishment. I just made a test drive on 04 Acura TL(270hp) yesterday, and i feel that my 225hp 330Ci is much quicker than TL. Personally, I think 04 330Ci with 18 inch wheels is the most beautiful bimmer so far. The facelifted front end is especially handsome. BMW always does what we call "magic". Im so proud of my choice to get a 330Ci.

  By Tonto - April 28 - 2:00 am

  Ive been driving a 525i for the past 9 years and didnt know if I would like a 3 series. Boy was I wrong. Better performance & better handling. A great car and fun to drive.

  My 330i - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By New330i Owner - April 23 - 10:00 am

  I recently purchased a 2004 330i sedan, and could not be happier with the decision. Ive read about BMW 3Series, and seen them all over but I never really had the desire to own one until I test drove it. It really is a different driving experience and its so easy to drive, especially with the 3 transmission options.
