  • A Great Car - 2004 BMW 3-Series

    The Bmw 3 series is absolutely amazing. The vehicle does not only look great, but performs exceptionally well and is always comfortable and reliable.

    The cornering is amazing. The off the line is the same. From the moment that the car is started, you know it will be a fun ride. The sound that the engine makes when reving is so pleasing to the ear and is quiet when cruising. Overall, this car is an ultimate driving machine.

  • 4 years later, still in love with it - 2004 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    I just had my 2004 325i detailed, and I feel just like the day I drove it off the lot - it is still that much fun to drive. The best surprise Ive had with this car is the highway gas mileage. According to the trip computer, I get between 33-34 (sometimes a little more) mpg on the freeway, and thats driving at 70-75 mph. Other than a short in a headlight socket, I havent had a single problem with this car in the 53K miles Ive driven it. Most fun and, again, surprisingly, most reliable car Ive ever had, including 3 Hondas and two Toyotas.

  • 2004 330 ci Convertible - 2004 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Thius is the second BMW we own. The first was a 2001 325 ci Convertible...nice car, but no where near the performance of the 330....should have bought it back then! The 330 is really the way to go!

  • BMW 330ci - 2004 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    The 330ci is the best convertible in its class. It has the best engine, brakes, handling, quality of materials and reliability of all comparable vehicles. It is beautiful, fast, and has that unique "BMW" feel.

    The car handles exactly like one would expect and the people at the BMW dealership are always friendly and ready to help. The car handles like a dream and is even better in real life than I would have thought.
