BMW 3-Series - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By mercurysqueen - May 24 - 2:00 amI waited a long time to finally own a BMW and I wasnt disappointed in my choice of a 3-series. I opted for the 325 coupe over the 330 - I couldnt justify the extra cost for the few extra horses. It took me a while to get used to the sports car ride of the 3-series - you can really feel the road. The control panels are well-lit, the interior is comfy, but at times it can be a bit confining. Ive yet to be able to fit an adult in the back seat, but I bought the car for me, not my riders! Overall, Id recommend this car to anyone wanting to get into the BMW line for a reasonable price.

What can I say??.......... - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By Chickpea - May 18 - 10:00 amThis is my 3rd 3 series coupe. They just keep getting better & better each year! The handling is superb like always and its faster than the previous coupes (yay!). I get so many complements on the style and color (mystic blue metallic). I purchased the premium package with the upgraded radio (harman kardon),leather heated seats and onboard comp. The only thing the car didnt come with was the xenon headlights. But thats no problem. I installed aftermarket Hela xenons and they look just as good for less money. I plan to keep this one a long time. VAROOOOOM!!!!!!!

The perfect combo of comfort & sporty - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By Astaire2 - May 13 - 10:00 amThe 330ci is the perfect convertible, the interior amenities are there, GPS, premium HK Stereo, 6 disk cd changer, heated seats, voice activated cell phone (with sprint service) It has a classic mature sports car design, and a fuctionality that fits your lifestyle. (useable back seats and a good sized trunk) The only convertible better in the re-launch of the 6 series convertible, if you can afford that.

Worth the wait! - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By dhump33 - April 29 - 11:13 amI love the way the car looks (Mystic Blue with gray interior) with sports package. I feel safe in the car because it is so solidly made. Its so much fun to drive and to be seen in! I had an epiphany when washing my bimmer for the first time by hand. It reminded me of my first Hot Wheels toy car, a BMW, orange and a 300 series from the 70s. AS I was washing my car I felt like I was washing my toy car.

me - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By Matchb - February 22 - 10:00 amI have a manual shift, and the shifting seems to be a bit rough, other than that, the car is perfect. Handling in great. Will top 110 easily, top movement is flawless and can be done at a red light if timeing is right.

My Ride - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By luvlincolns - January 28 - 4:20 pmI bought this car with 40,000 miles on it. I like it a lot. It turns heads and make for a great conversation piece wherever I am. Handling is incredible. It seems to have a few small elec problems though. One day the car wouldnt let me out of it, windows, roof, doors, locked for about 10 min. Some days the car wont start when I turn key the 1st time, have to do it twice. All lights come on dash and you hear a noise from the engine but nothing but on second turn it cranks. My car requires me to add antifreeze every month, this seems odd also.

I cant walk away - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By L. Robb - January 26 - 6:34 pmI have asked my car guy to get me an SUV, a convertible, and on and on, but I cannot leave my 330I with SMG and M package. The car history revealed it was not a dealer car but sent over as a test vehicle then landed in an auction. I am told it is lower and more tuned than other models. I love driving it. The original tires were Michelin Pilot Sport summer which burned off at 25,000 miles. I replaced with Pilot All-Season and rears are wearing considerably faster than fronts. Just had the full 50,000 inspection and C check, the first off warranty. The full day check, new belts, fluids, an electrical glitch in a tail light and rear brakes, pads and rotors, came to $1900.

My 1st Convertible - 2004 BMW 3-Series
By El Barto - January 15 - 2:00 amI really love my car. I keep the top down even in the chicago winter! If its above 20 degs., the windscreen and the seat heaters do a fine job of keeping the front seat passengers warm! No need for a hardtop. If I were to buy this again, Id spend the extra $$$ to get the 330Cic with the 6 spd manual trans. The extra power would make it that much more fun.
