1.Chasis & exterior build very impressive. Howver, there creaks & noises from the interior. Also, my car's transmission makes a whirring noise loud enough to make conversation difficult,dealership just said "It's impossible to have no noise."Engine light comes on, they can't figure out why. 2. Dealership attitude. Combine 1+2, anticipate to have a very antagonist ownership. As a physician, seeing over 7,500 patient/yr in their most stressful & oftentimes angry state,I possess excellent personal skills, diffusing any confrontations.I have been to four different dealerships,& each time, I was invariably yelled at or ignored for some small incident.

This ride is far superior to the entry level Mercedes, Audi, Volvo or Saab, I tried them all. This car hugs the road and accelerated on demand. Making a turn at 50MPH feels like your moving straight. For quality, technology and and overall handling this is my favorite.

My 325i (Sport Package, Manual, Harman Kardon Stereo upgrade, moonroof) is pretty basic in terms of the feature sheet, but still is a very nicely equipped car. The 2.5-liter inline six is a great engine, it is not a serious compromise in my opinion relative to the 330i. It is a free-revving engine - - wind it up to 3 grand or more for best results -- but with a manual gearbox that is part of the fun. Steering is tight and responsive. The car encourages very aggressive driving -- have to be careful not to conform to Bimmer driver stereotype!
