  I found this car to be the best Ive ever seen and/or driven. I purposely try to go to the grocery store just so I can drive my baby.

  330CIC BMWer - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Golson - November 7 - 10:00 am

  The 330CIC is not only fun to drive, it is also a sharp looking vehicle that turns heads. Excellent pick-up, highly recommend the 5-speed trans. Quality is flawless which is typical for German- built vehicles.

  2004 330Ci Convertible 6spSMG - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By lhalljd - October 1 - 2:00 am

  This is unquestionably the best sports convertible for the money. A perfect combination of room for people, luggage and/or golf clubs in a pure preformance convertible. A joy to drive.

  Fun,style and class - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By peabee - October 1 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my car in July 2003. One of the first to buy the 2004 model. I got the new color Mystic Blue and pin striped it according to the beige interior. Ive received many compliments on the color combination. Ive dreamed about this car since I was a kid. Finally treated myself to one on my 60th. birthday. I LOVE IT. What a great driving experience it is. Power, close to the road (hugging) 5 speed manual shifts wonderfully. I only wish they had made the 325 with the 6 speed manual transmission. Ive laid it up over the past winter in my garage (even covered it up) and cant wait to get it out and on the road again.

  Truely the ultimate driving expericance - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By beemerboy - October 1 - 2:00 am

  Recently my Porsche was stolen, so I decided to get something different. I decided to get a 4 door that was under 35k. Well, I decided to look at a BMW 325i. Since the day I purchased it I havent looked back. My new Beemer handles great, I sometimes forget Im driving a 4 door. Unlike Porsche, BMW pays for all your schd oil changes, brake pads, etc. To sum it up, BMW is turely "The ultimate driving experiance."

  Glued to the road - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By MtnMad - September 26 - 10:00 am

  The BMW XI is an ubeleivably good handling car. The sport package is a must though. Without it you can feel that the car is a station wagon in corners, but with the sport package the ability of the car to carve a corner even after going beyond the tires ability to grip is breathtaking. It may not be a rocket ship in the straight lines, but if the road is snaking nice and tight, that WRX cant get away.

  Fits the bill - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By tmc2 - August 26 - 2:00 am

  We have two kids and my wife likes to zoom. We got our 325iT built for us, including PP and sport package... and a manual transmission. We wanted something that can haul groceries or just haul. This is that wagon. It drives like a 325i sedan. Damn fun on the highway. Fun as well on twisty roads. Only downside is the rear seat can only seat two with kid car seats. Wish the cargo area were larger, but honestly that might make it lumbering. I wouldnt want to upset the balance of this jewel!

  330i with PP - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By nbostonguy - August 19 - 2:00 am

  The Performance Package option may look a bit expensive, but the added tweaks are well worth it. Drive this car hard, and it wont complain. The ride is firm, but supple and not as jarring as an M can be. This car intuitively knows where I want it to go, and it feels confident and safe at any speed. I thought the steering wheel was a little weird at first (that suede stuff), but now it feel right. A truly awesome machine.
