Stunning! A Dream Vehicle For Me... - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By Jonathon - December 10 - 10:00 amWhat an amazing vehicle. So much fun, so much pride, so sexy... Yet what is most important is how reactive this automobile can be in case you get into trouble and need to really stop on a dime or accelerate your way out of trouble. It handles every sense of your commands. Often I feel like it is pre- anticipating my every move just before I accomplish it. It is so very sure of itself that you drive her with little effort and with total ease and control as though you were a pilot on a Boeing airplane.

A Change - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By KIM - November 3 - 11:46 pmFrom having a truck or SUV for every car that I have owned, I have to say this is fun to drive. My last vehicle was a Tahoe I needed a more fuel economical vehicle. I researched and test drove several cars and would have to say this is the best one. It could use some more interior room and definitely a useful second cup holder. Still not sure what all the buttons do. Beware of pulling into parking spots that have a curb, you will scrape. Leather seats seems to get a lot hotter than my other leather seats. My brakes seem to leave black residue on them (no I am not hard on the brakes).

330i ZHP - a sport sedan for the ages - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By JamesSpot - October 29 - 10:00 amThis BMW is for someone who wants to drive a sports car on a daily basis but requires the added luxury, convenience, and practicality an upscale sedan provides. The powerful, smooth-revving inline six, tight suspension and performance tire grip, powerful brakes, and feel of the road through the gearshift lever and steering wheel are the zenith of what BMW offers. With the ZHP package, you benefit from an increased sporting feel and minor tweaks to the engine and running gear, without paying the premium in reduced gas mileage, insurance cost, or ride comfort of a single purpose sports car. To me, it is a "best of both worlds" daily ride.

Fun ride - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By aGermanInUS - October 29 - 10:00 amI got the sports package and metallic paint, but no other gimmicks. I take 25mph-turns at 40-45 mph (on dry road, of course), with room to spare. The engine has enough spunk for fun driving, and it has near-maximum torque at almost the entire range. The sport seats, once adjusted, are extremely comfy. If traffic allows you to use cruise control to "take a load of your feet", 3-4 hours nonstop driving does not lead to much fatigue. This is not a luxury vehicle! The suspension is sportily-stiff, the performance tires give you road noise, and you feel the road. The engine is not as "in your face" as in the Z4, but you can enjoy its comforting growl in the cockpit.

Better than Infiniti G35 - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By ME747 - October 23 - 10:00 amI traded in my 03 G35 because it rode to stiff and had to much road noise. I could not be happier with my decision. This is a true drivers car, confortable and decent power (my G35 was much faster)with smooth delivery and quieter than the G35. I purchased a BLACK ext. with tan leather. The only 2 problems I had were the brake pedal and steering vibrated when I applied the brakes and at 200 miles the engine misfired (was running on 5 cyl). I had to pull over to then side of the road called BMW, they told me to turn the engine off then re-start it,the problem went away. I took it in for service the following week and they changed the no#3 coil and the rotors.

2004 BMW 325 Ci (Coupe) - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By Thalamus3 - October 9 - 10:00 amWhile Ive only had this car a few days, it is proves a wonderfully fun, yet comfortable and secure driving experience that I have not been privy to for many years. The quality of workmanship, both inside and outside, is exceptional.

Truly "The Ultimate driving machine" - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By uflash - October 9 - 10:00 amI went around driving cars like WRX, IS300, G35 Coupe, Audi A4, and the VW GTI. Nothing compares in overall performance+quality+comfort to the BMW 3 series. Trust me you wont go wrong with this car. Advice: Shop around for better pricing of the car.
