Used 2001 BMW 3 Series 330Ci Rwd 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
The Ultimate Driving Experience
I bought this car brand new and have owned it for over 6 years. Driving this car is one of the few enjoyments of going to work in the morning. The maintenace could get expensive so I've herd, I've been working on cars as a hobby since before I could drive and do most of my own wrench turning. I've had some minor mechanical issues that are out side of the routine maintenance stuff that I was able to repair on my own. The only disappointment was the automatic transmission It needed to be replaced after a little over 100K. Lifetime fluid does not mean lifetime. I only have on regret and that is not getting the manual tranny.
Know your preference
Without a doubt the performance is outstanding and the exterior design is quite elegant. I enjoy driving this vehicle. However, problems have made ownership much less satisfying than it should be. (MINOR: window squeaking, passenger door hard to close, moonroof shade off track, loose DSC related connection, popping noise in rear, clunking noise in 1st gear, bulbs frequently failing. MAJOR: failed ?sensor leading to engine overheating, vehicle shutting off at low speed while stopping). In sum, know your expectation (performance or reliability) and pick accordingly. Consumer Reports removed its recommended rating due to reliability problems.

Yeah Baby
This car has it all. Unbelievable handling and amenities. I got mine for $32,000 with the Sport Package, Premium Package, and Cold Weather Package. Once they take the major part of their depreciation hit, the car is a good buy. Test drove the Infiniti I35 which is a nice car but did not get me nearly as excited as the 330Ci.
Smooth as Silk
3.0 litre engine packs nice punch, with tight handling to go along. Comfortable cockpit with great adjustable leather seats.
Great car
The 330Ci is a great mix of handling, speed and comfort.
