  All-Wheel Driving pleasure - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Marc Weston - October 18 - 2:00 am

  I bought a new 2003 325Xi AWD touring wagon to replace the 328 converible I had owned for four years. Although it doesnt have the drop top, it is as much a pleasure to drive and drives like a sports car rather than a wagon. As expected, the BMW acceleration, braking,fit and finish are absolutely first rate. And having already driven one full nasty Canadian winter with the AWD system, I can firmly say that this is the most versatile and comfortable car I have ever owned. Yes, a bit more pricey than many....but WELL WORTH IT!

  First BMW...AWESOME!!! - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By Paul Shavatt - October 18 - 2:00 am

  This is our first BMW and we were concerned about the price.... Now, we are glad we spent the extra money for the sport package. What a Great Car! After initially resisting this purchase my wife loves it and now understands what the "Ultimate driving machine" means.

  Mini Turbine - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By webby - September 12 - 7:53 pm

  Most fun since the 1967 Mustang..the engine is silky smooth, tranny is outstanding and love the sound of the engine. Engine behaves like a mini turbine and the car fits like a glove. It is a joy to go back to RWD car that is perfectly balanced. After 8 months and 1500 km it is solid as a rock. It the first car that my wife and son love to drive. Styling is timeless.

  bmw 325 Convertible alot of fun . - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By browrck - August 30 - 2:00 am

  This is a lot car for money. I have had two other bmw I 635 an a 735. The improvement is easy to see. I currently have two mercedes as well,a sl an the large s-class. I had took a look at the jag xk-8, but it back seat was to small. I also looked at the new 320clk convertible by merecedes, but it wouldnt be avaiable until mid march or april. Also The merecedes didnt have the option of a hardtop like the bmw. An finally the reliability of the bmw was much better then the 2003/2004 merecedes.

  better than expected - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By wmwesty - August 30 - 2:00 am

  I EXPECTED A GOOD, QUICK CAR, NICELY APPOINTED. WHAT I GOT WAS A REAL SWEET DRIVING MACHINE. TIGHT. THE MULTI-MODE AUTOMATIC[SPORTS DRIVE, DRIVE, AND MANUAL]REALLY MAKES USE OF ALL THE HORSES. MUCH FASTER THAN I EXPECTED AND MORE SMOOTH THAN I KNEW A CAR COULD BE. A REAL ADULT CAR FOR THOSE THAT DONT WANT TO BE OLD.

  Watch front differential - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By fulks - August 25 - 10:00 am

  Front differential went out at 40,000, no driver negligence. Stalled on a cold night. Shouldnt happen to a bimmer. Dealer ok, manufacturer hard to deal with on car rental for one day, well I was less than 100 miles from home, clerk takes no consideration of driver age, weather, time of day, passed rental cost back to Moses who paid, will not let owner talk to an engineer, to defensive about being sued, which, if someone is killed by this on a busy freeway, they will be.

  bring your own chiropractor - 2004 BMW 3-Series
  By rockaways - July 30 - 10:00 am

  i bought the 330ci convertible (2003) on its reputation for performance. i have a five speed manual-shifting couldnt be better-i can pass just about any other car.BUT THE SEAT IS THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE EXPERIENCE!! i did not get the sport package because my dealer said it would stiffen the ride but i understand those seats can be extended. i am petite-only 5/4 but find the window is so low i feal my sight line has a horizontal line through it and the seat is so short under my legs that i can never be comfortable. i am trading this in AT A HUGE LOSS-WHAT HAPPENED TO BMW VALUE?-FOR THE NEW SAB 9-3 2004 CONVERTIBLE.
