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.

  solid, fun to drive - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By RTC - January 5 - 12:00 am

  A dramatic change from the Lincoln Town Car I previously drove. The 325i corners beautifully. The automatic transmission changes gears so smoothly it is almost imperceptible. Ergonomics of the dashboard are excellent - its layout is intuitive. Truly a very well designed car.

  By bimmer lover - January 2 - 10:00 am

  Great perfromance when you need it and always very good consistent performance, and good handling, could be a little cripser for my tastes, but still good, great traction control feature, and great durabiality thus far after owning the vehicle almost 2 years, no wear and tear showing, still looks show room new and great sound system and controls on steering wheel

  High Quality - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By engineer1 - June 27 - 7:10 pm

  Bought this car (325i sedan) 5 months ago with almost no options except for automatic transmission. The A/C is fast and cold compared to my 04 Toyotas. The variable-valve 6-cylinder engine gives you enough power when you need it. Steering and ride handling is a 10 out of 10. The rims get a little dirty each week from the brake dust, but that is nothing new. The car is black and very good-looking. The standard leatherette is refined and very comfortable. Rear-passenger room is superior to its competitors, head-room is very good.

  A Great Sports Sedan!! - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By arkdiablo - June 21 - 2:26 pm

  I have owned several cars and this has to be the best. I recently sold my Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe 6MT and bought the 330i with the performance package and 6MT. There is no comparison! The 330i handles better in the rain soaked streets of Arkansas then the Infinti ever thought about on dry pavement. I am not your average driver with several driving schools and drivers training through enforcement. I can tell you the 330i is worth the extra bucks not only for its performance but also the build quality and ergonomics of the interior. The Infiniti, one had to constantly hunt for the desired controls. If you are into driving, the BMW is the car for you!

  THE ABSOLUTE BEST - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By EARLA - April 15 - 10:00 am

  This is the best car I have ever had, it has everything sport look, fun to drive and elegant. I love the looks; BMW has every option available so I got em, the Nav system is awsome, so is the on board computer. Speed is a whole other matter, I love it as I pass other people who just stop and stare; quite frankly, if had to do it again I would buy the same car. Dont care how much it cost.

  Love My 325, Bunta, Torrance, CA - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By Bunta - March 15 - 3:16 pm

  I love my 325, more everytime I drive it. I have the leatherette interior, works for me because of my active life style. Stock springs are too soft, and the shifter is vague. I miss 2nd and hit 4th once in a while. Handles like a dream, doesnt lean and with rear drive it assume the classic neutral tail out just a little when pushed thru the twisties. Oh yes the wonderful song of the engine at full song. It has much more room than I am used to, after stepping out of a two seater. Lets see, dont I have an errand to run today? Cant wait to go for another drive. LOL

  330i no extras - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By Dave - February 13 - 10:10 am

  This car is fun to drive! Although Ive had a couple minor issues that were covered under warranty, nothing major, it still feels like a solid, reliable car . Interior design could be a little more convenient... ie, cupholders seemed like an after thought. For the price, should include more extras... ie sport seats, fold down rear seat, alarm.

  325 Pleasure - 2005 BMW 3-Series
  By mchaplin - January 20 - 10:00 am

  Love my 325i. Didnt spring for leather, not at all disappointed with leatherette. Handsome car, not at all skimpy. If you drive a standard there is plenty of power with the 2.5 engine. My only disappointment is with the 5 speed manual transmission. Wish that there was an overdrive to reduce the revs on highway driving. Also find the shift from 2nd to 3rd very squishy.
