  Lady in Red - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Scoob - August 4 - 10:00 am

  Fun, responsive, smooth, precise. ultimate driving machin indeed. dislikes- goofy radio on/off volume knob- cheap. also, instrument cluster vibrates - whole thing pushes in when I reset the odo- weak. also, goofy right-side rear-view mirror looking down every time in reverse. otherwise, clean, simple, quick, smooth and precise. The convertible retracting Top is flawless so far! great!

  A joy to drive - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Tom H - July 25 - 8:56 am

  Bought my 330ci with the performance package as a pre-owned vehicle - couldnt be happier with the ownership experience, performance, and handling. Not a single negative issue with this vehicle.

  BMW = Practical - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Kenny - May 15 - 4:12 pm

  Wife and I had our first kid and dumped a minivan for the BMW wagon. She loves everything about this car. The AWD is good in the snow and 2 Britax car seats fit comfortably in the back with the armrest down. With enough space to pack all the kiddie stuff in the rear, my wife loves the ride, stability, safety, and overall ride of the wagon. Whos kidding... I love driving it too.

  German reliability is an oxymoron - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By JohnnyBoy - May 12 - 7:16 am

  My car with the 6 speed performance package is probably the most fun to drive machine on the road. The handling is superb and the engine growl is great. Ride is a bit stiff, but that should be expected from a true sport sedan. Ive had a number of warranty repairs and I sometimes question if I made the right choice. I definitely will dump this car for something more reliable when the warranty is up, even though Id really like to keep it. The thought of needing to pay the frequent repair bills is frightening.

  The Ultimate Driving Machine - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Omaha Dave - March 21 - 10:57 am

  Have owned Porsche, Volvo, Audi, Saab, BMW, Mercedes, VW & am used to superb handling, but this BMW is incredible! I drove it home 500 miles immediately after buying and it was a blast!. Before I bought I did my research and drove Infiniti G35x, MB 320 4matic, Subaru Legacy GT, Volvo S60R and while the others may have more hp and maybe even be a bit faster, none compared to the overall driving experience of the 330xi! There is a lot to be said about the differences in handling with AWD cars built from RWD platforms vs FWD platforms. It may be as smooth and tight as my 82 Porsche 911sc. 27.5 mpg coming home was a huge bonus!
