2005 BMW 3 Series 330i Rwd 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M)

Review

This car is expensive, but the more you pay the better car you get!!! I could tell that this car is made for youth and its classy. Its superb and it's outstanding specification ( spe. when it comes with SMG gearbox ) can make everyone to be proud of the expense. Overall I love this car, way much more than an old Mercedes.

Favorite Features

SMG, CBC, navigation, EBD, and ATM.

Suggested Improvements

Well the seats is not made for long time driving. Everything else, excellent.

Review

It is a very nice car with many interesting features.

Favorite Features

Road handling, passenger mirror tilt to park

Suggested Improvements

The automatic convertible top should work faster. When on the road and sudden rain one get very wet. BMW should think about contacting Bose.

Review

I haven't had this much driving in ten years! The convertible is "nifty" and easy to use, and the car handles like a roadster. Feul economy is lousy 17 mpg in the city, but the car is SO much fun to drive that it's worth it ! Loving It !!

Favorite Features

convertible

Suggested Improvements

BMW could give you a little more inside for the money

Review

A lot of my biz associates and friends have bmws. I attributed it to some sort of clubby snobbery, and thought Lexus was "it"--until I drove a 330i with the sports pkg. I could not believe the solid driving feel and bed like cornering ability. I got all the toys and find myself driving just for the joy of driving. This week I drove over some concrete in the road and blew a tire and scratched the wheel. I had the foresight to get the insurance for the wheels. Brought it to dealer- no problems, new everything n/c all computers checked and brakes reconfigured. I am a reformed lexite.

Favorite Features

the handling and s drive power

Suggested Improvements

can they make the bucket seats a little roomier? I only weigh 175, but the sit down section is not wide enough.

Is that the New 3????

Review

I get that question just about every day. I love my New 3. I had a 2001 322i before I bought the new 2006 model. The new sleek style is great - lots of bells and whistles when you purchase the navigation and other upgraded packages. I love the new dash, the absence of all that trim, the bluetooth technology... I don't particularly care for the cup holders in the front, how easily the material around the gear shift scratches or the four plugged holes in the rar bumper - but overall I enjoy the ride.

2005 BMW 3 Series 325Ci Rwd 2dr Convertible (2.5L 6cyl 5M)

Review

This vehicle is fun to drive & gets a lot of attention on the road. Even though it's not the powerful 330 engine, it handles the Texas hill country curves like a dream!

Favorite Features

Putting the top down with one button, more trunk space than my last BMW convertible due to the new feature.

Suggested Improvements

I wish I could turn the radio on using the steering wheel controls. Kind of defeats the purpose of having them on the steering wheel when you have to turn it on the dash. That is my biggest complaint! I love my car!

2005 BMW 3 Series 325Ci Rwd 2dr Coupe (2.5L 6cyl 5M)

Review

This car is absolutely fun to drive. The steering is razor sharp and extremely responsive. The suspension is tuned perfectly; right comprise between performance and comfort. The engine sounds like a Me109. Everything in this car comes across as intentional and well thought through. Also, the reviewers who are complaining about more room in the back are missing the point: this is meant to be a coupe, and for a coupe, it has plenty of room in the back and trunk space (compare it with other sports coupes). If you really want more room in the back, be realistic and buy a sedan.

Favorite Features

Driving feel. Steering response. DSC-- saved me on several occasions (you can turn it off if you want). The dash layout. Ergonomics. Free revving engine.

Suggested Improvements

BMW needs to realize the competition is providing much more horsepower for the buck. I don't want to be left behind by a $20k Dodge if I pay $35 for a BMW. Either supercharge this engine or increase the displacement. The 2006 improvements are nice with the super- light engine parts, but not enough.

Review

These cars are nice, this is my second 3 series Ci and I really enjoy driving it. The fun factor is the selling point. Mechanically, they need some improvement. I have an 05 325ci that has 4k on it. Already my windows squeak, my back shocks squeak and the windows don't seel real well. I have taken top care of the car, so it is nothing on my end...

Favorite Features

Styling, performance, auto lights and wipers

Suggested Improvements

Seats, too many buttons and levers, harmon kardon system (don't spend the extra money) too many squeaks, very annoying on a $35k car w/ 4k in miles
