Review
This is the best car I have ever purchased. My only regret was not doing it sooner. Words cannot do justice to the feel of this car, but it is superb. The 2.5 liter engine has enough power for me, and the interior and exterior design is timeless.

Review
Thirty-five years of GM, Volkswagen, and Japanese in my garage, and when it came time for a new ride, figured there'd be more of the same. Stumbled across a BMW dealer, stopped in for laughs. A minute in a 330i, and I stopped laughing. I had to have this car. It WANTS to go, and hang on to your hat, it's quick, not just fast, even without the performance package. Exhilarating to drive, handling must be experienced to be believed. Elegant simplicity to the interior design. Handsome exterior exudes class. HK sound system is nice, but the growl of the engine is the car's real music.

A smooth engine and superb handling make this an enjoyable drive in town or out on the twisties. A somewhat dated design that still attracts attention.

Great sport performance car to drive, which makes long trips enjoyable. The seat extension for under the legs is awesome and very comfortable. The tight road handling is ideal for upper end highway driving (speeding!). Net - net awesome car that makes you want to run errands.

This is a driver's car. If a soft insulated ride is your cup of tea, try one of the other luxo-cruisers. But if you love outstanding handling, sportscar acceleration and some of the finest seats on the planet, look no further. Our 330i came with the sport package which includes the sport seats, performance tires and sport steering wheel. It also came with the premium and cold weather packages. The handling is on a par with the best sports cars on the market. Interior details are tailored to the enthusiast driver but the center console cup holders (when holding a beverage) can get in the way of the shifting arm. And shift you will!The fantastic Steptronic 5 speed automatic is wonderful.

I love my 325, more everytime I drive it. I have the leatherette interior, works for me because of my active life style. Stock springs are too soft, and the shifter is vague. I miss 2nd and hit 4th once in a while. Handles like a dream, doesn't lean and with rear drive it assume the classic neutral tail out just a little when pushed thru the twisties. Oh yes the wonderful song of the engine at full song. It has much more room than I am used to, after stepping out of a two seater. Let's see, don't I have an errand to run today? Can't wait to go for another drive. LOL

Review
This is my second 330. The first one
had the performance package & cold
weather package. This one has leather
seats, Xenon headlights and heated
seats -- but no cold weather package --
I do miss the headlight washers and
drop down rear seat. However the
handling and acceleration of my new 330
is a quantum leap above my first one.
The 6 speed is much smoother and
shorter than the 5 speed. Whereas the
original had a softer ride, it had
more body lean -- in the 330i PP you
really feel much more in contriol as
you take tight corners at speed -- and
it defintiely sticks you back in the
seat when you accelelrate. They're
both great models --this as close to
an M3 as you can get with 4 doors

Review
I have owned the 2005 330xi for just
two weeks. Each time I get behind the
wheel it is more enjoyable than the
last. It has exceeded my expectations
and can only hope it delivers
reliability in the future. Although
ownership has been brief, I have been
nothing but impressed with the
product.

This thing is all about driving fun.
If you're looking for a car that will
please the passengers, look elsewhere,
but for the driver, you don't need to
look any further. The power from the
2.5L engine is surprisingly good
considering it's modest power ratings.
The handling, of course, is second to
none. We own a 1999 BMW 540i with the
Sports package, but this 3-series is
alot more fun to play with, especially
on winding roads.

I have owned several cars and this has to be the best. I recently sold my Infiniti G35 Sport Coupe 6MT and bought the 330i with the performance package and 6MT. There is no comparison! The 330i handles better in the rain soaked streets of Arkansas then the Infinti ever thought about on dry pavement. I am not your average driver with several driving schools and driver's training through enforcement. I can tell you the 330i is worth the extra bucks not only for its performance but also the build quality and ergonomics of the interior. The Infiniti, one had to constantly hunt for the desired controls. If you are into driving, the BMW is the car for you!
