  • A fantastic car - 2004 BMW 3-Series

    This is the car of my dreams! It handles fantastic. It accelerates so fast, yet so smooth. I drove it home from Seattle to my home 200 miles away and it was so great. I was so relaxed having the cruise control on and listening to the fantastic sound from the stereo.

    As a former SCCA competitor and driving school instructor, I find this vehicle to exhibit a tenatious, forgiving dynamic, while remaining comfortable, economical (30 mpg highway) and never trendy. The only complaint is the long, rather numb clutch throw which defies by best efforts at a smooth 1-2 shift !

    This is my very first BMW!! But it WILL not be the last! The handling on the highway, especially in traffic and through the endless construction zones surrounded by trucks, is incredible! I feel safe like never before, and driving is actually FUN!!

    the BEST car i have purchased!!!! nice color, good handling, overall excellent vehicle. reccommend this vehicle to any person(s) looking for a a new car, especially for the price... for roughly $40,000, you can get a well equipped bmw.. the heated seats definitely come/came in handy! EVERYONE was great at the dealership also. no pressure in buying the vehicle, very professional. best place around to buy a vehicle.

    The BMW 330 Ci is super-classy, yet maintains the driving experience every sports car should attempt to live up to.

  • Very solid - 2004 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    The BMW is more stylish and refined than my old sports car but the ride is the largest improvement, its so quiet that I sometimes need to check to see if the engine is running. I was concerned that the 17" tires and sports package would make the car run loud but that hasnt been the case. Acceleration is nice in the low RPMs and the pickup is smooth. For those of you who really want that aluminum trim ask the dealer if they can order that trim even if you get the premium package. Lastly, sports cars arent made for good gas mileage get over it!
