Overview & Reviews

A power moonroof and Myrtle wood trim are now standard on all models. Brushed aluminum column trim is available as a no-cost option. Front lumbar support has been added to the Premium Package for all 325 models; a power top is now standard on the 325Ci convertible; and new star-spoke wheels are standard on the 325Ci coupe and convertible. The 330Ci convertible gets an auto-dimming rearview mirror, lumbar support and a universal garage door opener as standard. This year, the sequential manual gearbox (SMG) is available only on 3.0-liter models, and only in combination with the Sport Package. Buyers can now order both the Performance and Premium Packages together. Lastly, a flat tire warning and white indicator lights are now standard on all models.

• Still the standard when it comes to perfectly sorted vehicle dynamics, high-quality interior materials exude luxury, wide range of configurations to suit any style, available all-wheel drive for sedan and wagon.

• Still costs more than most of its competitors, limited rear-seat space and cargo capacity, confusing array of options and packages.

  Thrilling ride !!!!!!!!!!! - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By Denny - December 9 - 10:45 pm

  This is the first BMW I have owned but it will not be the last. From the moment I drove off it was like I was in another world. One of the first things I noticed, besides the fast acceleration, was the lack of outside noise. This is a great first BMW to get into--its pricey but worth every penny.

  Hot Car But With A Lil Annoyance - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By SLIMQT614@AOL.COM - December 5 - 3:12 am

  Though this has been my dream car since I was a child, i must say its been a little disappointing, why, I had a gas leak after 8 months of owning this car with all door windows vibrating not making the cabin as quiet as I thought (now fixed). . But with the adjustments, I now have a ding noise in the gas tank when I hit bumps and start the engine after a 2 day storage! Not a good thing. As for smooth ride, I think it has its moments!! But the all wheel drive is exquisite, horsepower is just right and amenities are awesome, I have it all installed from the auto/tranny, the nav to the prem package to the pdc and xenon lights/heated seats. Love the car but will upgrade once my lease is up!

  This is awesome - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By BR - November 1 - 4:48 pm

  This is the most fun Ive ever had behind the wheel of a car. Top down is more fun than I can describe, top up, youd never know you were in a convertible.

  BMW 330i - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By Ryan - October 13 - 4:36 am

  Great sport performance car to drive, which makes long trips enjoyable. The seat extension for under the legs is awesome and very comfortable. The tight road handling is ideal for upper end highway driving (speeding!). Net - net awesome car that makes you want to run errands.

  Super Little Coupe! - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By Niels Leppert - October 10 - 2:35 am

  Positives: Smooth and steady power, silky gearbox, and better than advertised fuel efficiency. Dead solid road manners, cat-like road stance...A/C holds up to the Florida summer heat, wipers and xenons take care of the Florida rain...my wife is sold on her little coupe...and no trips to the dealer for silly stuff. Thumbs Up! Negatives: You gotta reach waay back to grab the seat belt.

  Enjoy the 2005 BMW - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By Karl H - September 21 - 7:55 pm

  I have owned the car for two months and loved it. The handling is incredible and I love the design of the interior. Mileage has been decent and trunk space is decent, although if you are going to have five individuals in the car, I would recommend looking at the Lexus. But, with four or less passengers, this is the perfect entry level luxery car in my opinion. Finally, this is the first time that I have ever driven a rear wheel drive car and that took a little to get used to at first, especially when stopping quickly. But, the RWD is not a big issue in my opinion.

  Fun-to-drive - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By HeyMario - September 20 - 12:36 am

  This thing is all about driving fun. If youre looking for a car that will please the passengers, look elsewhere, but for the driver, you dont need to look any further. The power from the 2.5L engine is surprisingly good considering its modest power ratings. The handling, of course, is second to none. We own a 1999 BMW 540i with the Sports package, but this 3-series is alot more fun to play with, especially on winding roads.

  Ultimate Driving Machine!!! - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By gary - September 12 - 10:33 pm

  Amazing vehicle! Consider the M Performance Pkg., extra horsepower, plus M3 handling pkg in a 4-door. BIG wheels and tires, firm sport suspension and HUGE brakes makes this a true drivers machine. Havent had this much fun in years!!! Also, the standard stereo is awful, so consider an upgrade (although the high-end stereo is standard in 2006). Yes, the new 2006 is a great car, but if you can find a "leftover" 2005 with the M Sport or M Performance package, dont miss it!!!

  Love this car - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By Dave - September 1 - 12:12 pm

  I would have never expected to loke a car this much. Great car to drive. It feels like it is part of you. Could use air outlets in the rear with maybe a little more rear leg room when front seats are all the way back. Im extremely happy with the car and have no regrets.
