  Highly recommended! - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Margaret J. - January 6 - 2:00 am

  The BMW325xi is the first luxury car I have owned and I am having a great time driving it. It responds and handles very well with excellent acceleration and control. The dashboard and other controls are laid out very well so they are easy to locate and operate. I am very happy with the car and recommend it without hesitation.

  I love my car. I wish that I had known about the difficulty of driving it in snow given that I live in New England. I have to change my tires every season, but its worth it.

  I LOVE MY CAR THE HANDLING IS GREAT AND IT LOOKS GOOD TOO. ANYONE WHO WANTS THE CAR YOU HAVE TO GET A STICK SHIFT. THATS GOING TO BE THE UTIMATE RIDE. I LOVE THE WAY THE LIGHTS INTERACT WITH THE MOTION OF THE STEERING WHEEL. THE LIGHTS CURVES AROUND THE CORNER. THE NXT CAR IM GOING TO GET MIGHT BE THE 330CI CONV

  Enjoying It - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By 1stBMW - December 31 - 2:00 am

  I also test drove the Infiniti G35 to compare. The feel of this car is what sold me. Though it has less power than the Infiniti, it is much more fun to drive. Ive never driven a vehicle that handles this well. Have put a little over 6,000 miles on it since purchase, and no problems so far.

  Firm, Fun Ride - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Y2k - December 29 - 7:36 pm

  This is a great car. I bought 330i w/Performance package. It moves much quicker than standard 330, which is already a great car. low profile tires really feel road, and steering will pull strong on uneven roads. This really can annoy as steering is SUPER sensitive and reactive. Car feels the road in a big way. Fanstastic acceleration and cornering ability. Compared to TL and G35, and they have a more "luxurious" feel (especially the TL. They felt "softer".

  BEST CAR EVER! - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By vinnyny - December 29 - 1:48 pm

  I bought my 04 330CiC two weeks ago and absolutely love it! This is my 10th car in the last 5 years but it is one of the two I will keep long term (05 Acura MDX the other). It has performance package, xenon adaptive lights, BMW Assist and automatic. The powertrain and handling are so smooth that I constantly find myself driving twice as fast I think Im going. I was an Audi fanatic for years, but Im a BMW convert now...

  So much to like about this car! - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By bomaster - December 28 - 8:26 pm

  I owned a 318i for 20 years, so deciding to buy another BMW wasnt a hard decision. I got a 330i w/perf package, Imola Red. Acceleration is so quick, and cornering is awesome! I still havent pushed it as hard as I know it can go. Some complain about the Harmon Kardon. I think it sounds great. I love the body style, and that black leather interior is so sleek. Do I have any complaints? A few-the cupholders for instance. In reality you really only get the use of one of them. And Ive seen lunchboxes with more space than the glove box in this car. My main complaint is the ride quality though. The enhanced suspension means you feel EVERY bump in the road. Its still an awesome car though!

  Love my bimmer - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By CJF - December 28 - 4:54 pm

  I bought the car with 24,900 miles April 2014 from 80 year old woman. The car now has 57,000 mile. I like the car very much. NO major issues, just maintenance issues here and there. Unfortunately, repairs can be pricey. Overall , I would recommend this car. I am very happy with it. I do expect to keep it a longgggg time. I will keep up the maintenance and it should go and go .I do believe it is the "ultimate driving machine" and I would not go to back to a "basic" car again. I really enjoy driving it...
