  RWD, 6spd and a backseat - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Justin S. - October 5 - 11:11 am

  My 2nd e46. I love them. Great steering feel and handling. Aside from a few weak links these cars are the total package. The perfect blend of luxury and performance. If youre not capable of working on it yourself you will need a good mechanic you trust to not charge you double just because of a name. A lot of the parts dont cost any more than other vehicles. Just keep it maintained. Mileage isnt great but that all depends on the weight of your right foot. I can manage 28 but usually average 20-21mpg. The car is very driver oriented. Not a lot of frills for this day and age but not lacking either. The proportions feel just right. The rear seats are cramped but this is a compact car, not a full size sedan. Tires go fast with the sport package because of the inability to rotate due to staggered sizes. The grip is worth it. Large capable brakes hold up well under heavy use. The engine is asleep before 3k but after that its hard not to go to the limiter. Sport seats are great, good amount of bolstering and lumbar support. Overall, great looking cars that if maintained well will last forever. Great drivers car though this isnt a miata, its still a blast to drive.

  Best small station wagon I have owned - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By capedrido - October 4 - 2:00 am

  Great performance. Brisk acceleration and a feeling of complete control in handling.Somewhat limited cargo carrying space. Better value than Mercedes, Audi or Volvo. Best way to buy is to order with features you really need as car comes pretty well equipped with standard features.

  The Best Coupe Out there - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By pilotpaul13 - September 30 - 10:00 am

  I have two 330Ci Coupes and they are the best bang for your buck. They offer everything from Performance to comfort. And, you cant go wrong with its wonderful styling.

  Powerful - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By BIGKALACAL - September 9 - 10:00 am

  I just got this car this pass weekend with the Sport Package. After driving this car you dont want to drive anything else but BMW. I only have the 325CI and it is more than enough power, the handling of this car is sweet. There is nothing a BMW. I drove the SAAB 93 and the Audi A4, they dont compare to this. Once you drive this car you will not want anything else.

  The Ultimate Driving Machine - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By PhantomX - August 26 - 10:53 pm

  Ive had my BMW 325Ci all of three weeks but I must say I am already smitten with it. This is the most fun automobile to drive Ive ever experienced. It makes you want to just get in and drive around with no particular place to go. Ive already done that a lot! It has torque at-the- ready all across the RPM band so never any lag when you need to move. The car feels more powerful than it is. Its handling is incredibly dynamic.

  Unique Experience - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By dotkidz - August 18 - 10:00 am

  As a long time BMW owner, the new convertible is a superb extension of BMW heritage. The suspension is flawless, allowing for safe, quick maneuvering even in the city. The interior is sporty and comfortable. I"m continually amazed at the pickup and the smoothness of the high-speed ride. This car is a unique driving experience in the city or on the open road.
