02 325i WOW!

My car: 02 325i, 5 spd, Prem & sports package, xenons, Harmon Kardon stereo, Titanium silver with black leather. I absolutely love driving this car. If someone would have told me that this car with 184 hp was this quick, I would have laughed. You just have to get out and drive one of these cars. It performs so well that the instant I drove it, I wanted it. This is one of the smoothest driving cars I have ever driven. The only thing I wish I had was more money to get the 330i, I didnt even go test drive it because the salesman told me it would throw you in the back of your chair, and I knew I would have to have it.

For those seeking performance, comfort, and an all around superlative experience, consider the BMW 330xi. I just took delivery of mine in Europe and the 330xi has so much power that opting for the xi (AWD) model is one of the best decisions you could ever make! Not only does it sport the BMW performance, quick acceleration, awesome handling, the added AWD weight is not noticed, while the traction is unmatched. I found some ice in a parking lot in Switzerland and TRIED to spin it out and COULD NOT do it! You won't go wrong with this car!

I’ve had it for 1.5 years now and obsession doesn’t stop (just ask my wife). Now that I am approaching my 40's (whew!) and have a wife, couple of kids, etc. I decided to buy a car of my dreams, a BMW 3-ser convertible. So, when the time was right I went ahead and purchased a beautiful E46 325Ci Convertible with sport package, premium package, cold weather package, and 5-speed. It does everything very well. It is a joy to drive and I still wake up in the morning with the thought that I am going to drive it and leave work looking forward to hugging corners on the way home.

I'll never drive anything but a BMW!

I bought this car in July of 2007 and I have enjoyed this car more than any other car I have ever owned. It handles and holds the road beautifully. It feels like it has more power than it actually does and looks beautiful. For the mileage and how hard I drive this car it holds up extremely well. I have had a few minor issues with it but most of it has been covered under the Certified Pre-Owned Warranty. I have only spent $202.00 out of pocket to fix the car. I bought it with 39,000 miles and it has 43,000 on it now. I recommend only buying a BMW from a BMW dealer because of the great warranty. Buy it from another dealer and spend more money! I will never own anything but a BMW!
