2004 BMW 3 Series 325i Rwd 4dr Sedan (2.5L 6cyl 5M)

Review

I have had my BMW for a few years now, and I have had nothing but problems with it. It is constantly in the shop at the dealership having parts repaired. I have brought this car in once a month for the past two years. I have had terrible experiences with BMW and have friends that have experienced the same problems. This is the last time I will ever purchase a BMW and I definately do not recommend this car to people who are considering it.

2004 BMW 3 Series 325xi AWD 4dr Sedan (2.5L 6cyl 5M)

Review

According to the automotive press, this car is the standard for performance sedans and I would have to agree. The car drives like it's on rails and there is constant power throughout the pedel. The leatherette is good enough that I don't even tell people that it's fake. I like the smooth shifts and feedback from the engine. This is a true drivers care.

Favorite Features

Handling, smooth shifting auto tranny, and sterring wheel audio controls.

Suggested Improvements

The base stereo stinks. One would think that a 10 speaker system would sound better than it does. An outside temperature guage should be standard. Relocate the trunk release botton to the dash. More back seat leg room.

No doubt...the best

Review

Have owned 325's, A4, & Passat in past and this car is simply the best. When compared to TL, G35, & even A4 it seems expensive at first, until you drive it for a few days. Sticks to the road with minimal road noise, doesn't give you a back/buttache on long trips and still provides the panache of a BMW. Power is steady to redline with tire grip and brakes to give you confidence to take on any corner and have the ability to correct any driver mistake. I have 12,000 miles on mine with no problems to date. Still have not driven it in snow but it drives like it's on rails thru heavy rain. Xenon lamps are worth the extra expense.

Favorite Features

Simple interior, clean lines inside and out. I've averaged 26-28 mpg with alot of hwy miles and minimal A/C use. The styling of this model is top- notch but I'm afraid of what the future holds in regard to styling. I love the fact that there is no torque- steer under heavy accel;just rockets ahead.

Suggested Improvements

Maybe this is greedy, but I'd love this car to have about 40 more horses. Homelink, XM/Sirius radio, floormats, and leather-wrapped steering wheel should be standard on a car costing $42,000 plus. A/C is a little weak on really hot days, paint on hood chips/scratches too easily. HK radio so-so.

Review

I bought my new 330i 6 weeks ago and have loved every minute driving it. This car is definately the car for those who like to drive.

Favorite Features

I'm 6'4" and there is plenty of leg room. I love the 6 speed manual trans. and the handling is supreme.

Suggested Improvements

Better interior design. Get rid of some ash trays and make some useful storage compartments and/or better cupholder design.

Review

I think this care is a car that can be bought by people who are middle class, and buy wealthy, and still have the same kind of performance, and driveablity, as a mercedes or porsches. This car is definately "The Ultimate Driving Machine" I love having this type of car. I will not buy another american car ever!

Favorite Features

I love the heated seats, and the memory adjustments when you put your key in the ignition.

Suggested Improvements

I have no suggestions for improvements. This car is the best car i have ever owned.

2004 BMW 3 Series 330Ci Rwd 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

The 330ci is the perfect convertible, the interior amenities are there, GPS, premium HK Stereo, 6 disk cd changer, heated seats, voice activated cell phone (with sprint service) It has a classic mature sports car design, and a fuctionality that fits your lifestyle. (useable back seats and a good sized trunk) The only convertible better in the re-launch of the 6 series convertible, if you can afford that.

Favorite Features

GPS, Premium HK Stereo, the sound proofed convertible top

Suggested Improvements

More updated cell phone options

Review

Nice little car, great mileage, handling fabulous. Finish good, seats ok, a bit firm for long drives. Car is too low to ground, difficult to get in and out. A bit too much engine noise, but it is a BMW.

Favorite Features

Handling. Xenon lights (but expensive).

Suggested Improvements

Too difficult to get in and out of. Repair expensive.

Sporty and solid. Fun to drive.

2004 BMW 3 Series 325i Rwd 4dr Sedan (2.5L 6cyl 5M)

Review

Almost one month old and 500 miles later. The car rides and handles great with a tight, solid and sporty feel.The car really hugs the road on turns and the slight roar of the engine enhances the performance care experience. Not a single problem to date.

Favorite Features

Xenon Headlights...well worth the extra dollars.

Suggested Improvements

Slightly larger rear seating area. Introductory video was great. Owners manual could be clearer. Psychologically wished the car had more horsepower but I would buy again even without it.
