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.

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.

Who needs therapy when all you need is a full tank and an open road? This car will cure whatever ails you... Rock Solid performance, Awesome Handling & Braking. I was looking for a long time, came down to i330 & G35... I have no doubt that I made the right choice. This is My First BMW... I'll always own one from this day forward.

The 325i is a great first car when entering into the BMW world. This car will make you a BMW fan for life. Great handeling and response. Sporty yet elegant body. This car can accompany me to any event! I use my 325i at least 3-4 times a week to commute and the gas mileage is great!
