  Its Okay - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By RobinS - November 29 - 10:00 am

  Cool car to drive because its BMW. Like the radio with the RDS and steering controls. The Seats suck. they are so uncomfortable.. no cushion just hard leather. Dont like it at all. Rain sensor does not always work that great. steptronic pointless. Too much money for a car with hardly no options. I have replaced all 4 tires within 6 mos. the slighest hard bump will make the tire blow and the rim bend

  Still the Sexiest Car on the Road - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By daveuc97 - November 6 - 10:31 am

  It has been 4.5 years since I bought it and I still get excited every time I get behind the wheel. You can punch it through the sharpest of curves and fly up and down the steepest of hills will full confidence that this machine will exceed your expectations. Solid ride! Better thrill than a roller coaster! In fact, the other day, while resting at a stop sign after a fun filled heart pounding 10 minute joy ride thru the Connecticut countryside, I actually thought I heard the car mutter, “how’d I do?” Add on the fact that this is still the best looking car on the road and that it has the sweetest engine purr you will hear from a car in this class, I have myself a solid purchase!

  Germans make better cars... - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Dustin W. - November 2 - 12:09 am

  I own a 2004 330i w/ performance package. These cars are truly amazing. Unsurpassed performance, elegant styling, reliable, & fun to drive. I drove many models before purchasing mine, I highly recommend the performance package. The power difference is huge, and the styling and standard equipment are worth the extra. I also recommend the manual 6 speed, makes driving and handling much more fun. BMW puts an amazing amount of feel and predictability in the drivers hands. No corners cut in the design and test phase, this car can run around town to get groceries or hold its own on the race track.

  My ultimate driving machine - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By SalsaFIgo - October 28 - 2:00 am

  I just retired for the service after 27 years and I purchased the 2004 325CI right before returning to the United States and this was by far my favorite car and I could not have purchase a better car for my money and retirement. I drove it in Italy and Germany and you know the speed limit over there is not really a problem. SO, I put the petal to the metal and I was in love. This is a wonderful and sporty car. I was surprise that the back seat was confortable since I really did not care for the back seat. I dont plan on having anyone seating in the back seat anyway :). But its was more confortable than the Z4.

  Best Convertible we have ever owned - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By LHSerene - October 17 - 10:00 am

  We are a convertible family, having owned several. The handling, performance and comfort of this vehicle is by far the best. If you love to drive a car, you will love this one.

  3% better costs you 30% more. - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By RicketyDick - October 11 - 10:00 am

  Japanese wannabes are either heavier (Newtons Laws will not be violated!) or less powerful. Im getting used to the SMG, and now I love it. I learned on US1 that youre glad you dont have to take your hand off the wheel to shift while passing on a 2-lane at 110+ w/ traffic coming! Proportions are spot-on. G35? Pulleeez! If you disagree, and cant feel the difference in the steering, save the 30%. Doors are long & heavy - you need to choreograph entry and exit. Valet parker white-lined it, but then lunched my left side wheels! Electric Red/Natural Brown; Sport and Prem. Pkgs., SMG, Xenons, 18" wheels.
