    This is one of the most reliable and, most importantly, funniest cars I have ever owned.. My wife and I love it so much we got her one as well!

  • Highly Recommended - 2004 BMW 3-Series

    I own the 330i 4-door. This car is an absolute kick to drive. It is awesome in just about every way. If you are in the market for a sports sedan; I highly recommend this vehicle. To see what I mean, drive all of the 330s competitors first (e.g., Lexus IS, Mercedes 230, audi a4) and save the best for last. It is truely a fabulous car ... the best vehicle I have ever owned.

    When comparing value, quality and of course fun, BMW beats them all. If fun is not a factor get an old Yugo, if value is not a factor get a Chevy and if quality is not a factor get a Chrysler. The only short fall is the lack of cupholders but I guess with the performance of this car you should keep it in your hand anyway or it may just get away from you. Besides that who would want a nasty spill in the beautiful machine?

    I had a 5 series before.Loved it. My convertible is even better,because its my little sports car. I take very good care of my baby. I would like a l999,or newer,silver automatic con. 6 cyl.I would never consider any other,and I have other sports cars before.

    ITS CHOPY,COSTLY,NO FUN. THE CRAFTSHIP INSIDE IT GREAT, BUT THE REABILLITY IS BAD. I HAD A LOT ISSUES WITH THE A/C,THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM. NEXT TIME I WILL TRAY A SAAB 9-3 OR AUDI A-4.
