  WOW - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By Birdman - February 15 - 2:00 am

  Test drove the Audi A6 and the Acura TL and there is nothing like the BMW 325. It drives like a dream because of its silky smooth transmission, fast acceleration, and great suspension. Once you drive this car not other will fell the same.

  Love this car - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By devvil - February 12 - 2:00 am

  Only thing to watch out for is the Harmon Kardon audio system. It sounds great with the top up but just isnt quite loud enough to give enough punch when youre cruising at 65MPH. Needs more audio power.

  For Entry Level BMW,Just plain nasty! - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By BULLDOG - February 12 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this 2001 BMW 325i on Jan 31,2004 in Dallas and drove home to Memphis(500 miles) the same day.I still have a smile.What looks!What handling!I was worried about acceleration and power of 325 vs 330.Dont be.I had trouble keeping the car under 80-90 MPH!At this speed,it feels like 60 in most cars.The xenons and Harmon Kardon are marvelous.Get the Sports package.Why didnt I at least test drive and thus buy a BMW 15 years earlier!

  Awesome - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By PaulBz - February 10 - 10:00 am

  Just brought home my 330ci and love everything about it. Acceleration is smooth and quick due to the well engineered inline 6. Braking is best in its class as is handling. I could write a book on the wonders of this car but will simply sum things up with a rock solid "awesome." Drive one and you will know why BMWs are the Ultimate Driving Machine.

  325i is Beautiful - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By Freddie - February 10 - 10:00 am

  I love my 2001 BMW 325i. I got it in Titanium Silver Metallic with Gray Leather and it is clean as a whistle. I bought it new and it still rides smoothly. I didnt expect to purchase one after I test drived one but this car is irresistable. The only car I would trade this in for is a BMW M3 Coupe.

  An awesome car - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By shopp1999 - February 8 - 10:00 am

  I have had 3 wonderful years in this car. We have travelled up and down the east coast through blinding snowstorms and enjoyed many trips up the north seacoast in the summer with the top down. A great car!!!

  Its a blast !!! - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By Double D - February 7 - 10:53 pm

  I purchased a 2001 BMW 330i CPO car, which is the only way to go but typically will cost you a few more duckies. Great car, tremendous torque versus the 325i and the steptronic AT is perfect. No complaints except for a tall person, its a little tough getting in and out.

  Used 2001 BMW 330 XI - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By Laurie - January 31 - 8:31 pm

  We bought this car used 2 years ago and our love affair with it has not ceased from the moment it first beautified our driveway. Fun to drive (I wanted a manual and am so pleased with the 5-speed manual on this car), great power, looks gorgeous, fantastic Harmon-Kardon stereo system (stuck in traffic? great!) and did I mention fun to drive? Also, no mechanical/reliability issues and the minor issues that have popped up were covered under BMWs used- car extended warranty.

  First BMW - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By jmyers - January 26 - 11:58 am

  This is my first BMW, and I am very pleased. The response is good, gas mileage is around 23 in local driving. I have the optional hard top which is great for the winter months and makes the lines of the car look fantistic. Interior roominess is lacking and rear seat passenger leg room is tight. The car is fun to drive and handling is excellent. I may opt for a 7 series in the near future.

  I like driving now. - 2001 BMW 3-Series
  By Red Snap - January 20 - 5:33 pm

  I have owned this car for over 2 years now and bought it used. Which is the way to go when getting a high end car. I like to drive now, didnt before, and dont plan on giving up the car anytime soon. I hope I can always own a BMW.
