  • Glad I bought this one - 2004 BMW 3-Series
    By -

    Of the many cars I have had this is only the second one (the other was a Toyota) which was delivered fault-free and continued to run with no problems whatsoever. It is roomy enough for our needs, and the powerful engine in the compact body gives it exceptionally lively performance. What a pleasure.

  • A rewarding driving experience! - 2004 BMW 3-Series

    A great drivers car. The feel you get while driving is just amazing! Smooth, solid and exhilarating all come to mind while behind the wheel. I ordered my car with the sport and premium package, navigation, xenon, steptronic and HK and all are well worth it. With a mix of highway and city driving, Ive been averaging 22 MPG. Not bad considering I flog it every once in a while and believe me, its hard not to in this car! The driving reward is well worth the price of admission!

    This car is awesome. Definitely the Ultimate Driving Machine. Flawless handling, smooth and strong acceleration, comfort, and beautiful styling. The new features such as Adaptive Headlights that turn to look in a curve, and the LED tailights look great. This car is extremely quiet and flies. It drives better than any car I have driven before. The road feel and feedback is unmatched in the automotive world including Mercedes- Benz, Audi, and Lexus. BMWs orses seem a little stronger than japanese manufacturers numbers. I cant believe it is rated at 225.

    The BMW exudes understated class. Everything about the car is tastefull. The style is classic and will still look good in 5 years. Driving is thoroughly satisfying. The cars handling is precise with plenty of power around town and also on the highway. The car is solid. Build quality, fit and finnish are first rate. Dealership experience was enjoyable and service was their top priority.
