  • I love this car! - 2004 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    I bought this 325i after testing the Audi A4 and Lexus IS300. It is everything I thought it would be. I am not a dragster but drive fast. This car is smoother the faster you go, at least that is what my wife says. I got the sport package and the DVD nav system. Love them. No leather, moon roof or automatic for me. I want a drivers car. HID lights are great! What fun!

  • Great Car my 3 rd BMW - 2004 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    The fun in driving this car is not equaled by anything I test drove. I drove my last BMW 125,000 and every time I drove that car it felt as if I was getting in it for the first time. The only reason I purchased a new one is my 17 year old daughter tested the air bags and they worked fine when she destroyed the car. This is the 3 rd BMW that saved the life of someone in my family. I car you will love!

  • What a blast! - 2004 BMW 3-Series

    My dream car has been the BMW...I have had this 330Ci with Premium, Sport, Cold Weather packages for just under a year. I have over 15000 miles on it, and thoroughly enjoy it. I have had some minor problems with the driver door handle but other than that its been the dream I thought it would be. Definitely a head turner! Still cant believe its mine!

  • BMW 330Ci The Best Drop-top Out There - 2004 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    The 330Ci truly is a wonderful car. The Harman Kardon sounds like you are a concert hall. The cars performance is so wonderful it is hard to control it during the break-in period. The 330Ci is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever ridden in and there is very little noise from the outside. The 330Cis backseat is less to be desired. Another great feature of this vehicle is the adaptive xenon headlamps, which turn towards where you are steering. The adaptive brake lights are great, they get brighter the harder you press them and are made up of LEDs. In conclusion the 330Ci is the ultimate driving machine.

  • Very Nice... - 2004 BMW 3-Series

    This car isnt the least expensive in its class, but is one of, if not, the best. A joy to drive because I feel integrated with the car in all driving environments. The time from order to delivery was 72 days - well worth the wait. The dealer provided the best customer service Ive had in 40 years of purchasing vehicles.

    Great lines, good power, superb sound and comfort. The BMW 330Ci is remarkable fun. Eye-catching and fun, this convertible is great to drive and great to look at across a parking lot. The options make this car good in winter and summer. Theres little to improve.
