good looks, A to B in no time, nice styling, excellent ride, good value for your money. Interior, though, could be a little bigger.

Great car. Fun to drive. Excellant handling on curves. Great pick up in 3rd, 4th and 5th gears.

Doors (power windows, speaker trim)

power window regulators continually go bad (front and back), speaker trims break (cosmetic issue) in the doors (front). I'm tired of windows that won't go up or down without things breaking (breaking plastic, ginding sounds, and power windows completely inop). - "Regulator", as the shop personell blaim, needs redesigned.

So far I've been back to the dealer for: bad smell coming from the A/C, Alarm not arming, Passanger one-touch window not working properly, Trunk opening by itself, Rear tow hook loose, passenger seat belt not locking, turning signal light loose, panic alarm malfunctioning, Jack broke while changing flat tire, remote key's not functioning the vehicle also staled out a few times, the car sometimes shakes alot when first starting and lasts about a minute, I had to bring the car in for a recall on the electronic control unit, and a few other things.

I love my car. I love the way it handles. It is a car that definitely turns heads. I like the close quarters feel of the drivers side. I am in absolute control. It will hold its value well into the future and will be the pretty car that it is, ten years from now. You can't go wrong with the 3 Series.
