Humming along at 10 years of ownership

Anything worth having is worth taking care of. We bought a 2003 325xi sedan in November 2006 with about 60000 miles and apart from regular maintenance have been very happy. The fuel pump died and that required a tow. My water pump went out 4 blocks from my mechanic and he said drive it there now. Brakes, tires, cv boots, wheel bearings. Still has original engine, transaxle and radiator at 252,000 miles. It averages to cost me $1000 to drive from a repair standpoint. When it finally does die, I will buy another BMW, likely the i3, but another older 325xi with under 150k miles would be worth considering.

Best car I've ever had

After driving Honda Accords for many years, I finally decided to step it up and get a faster car. But was wary of rear wheel drive so went with the sedan AWD due to Chicago's snow. I have a 5 speed, which was ordered from Germany since the dealership didn't have one in stock. I've had the car three years now and don't regret my decision, even with gas prices so high. I get 25-27 MPG and with 38,000, I've had no problems with the car, other than occasional alignments. The car is fast, exp. with the 5 speed and cruises at 70-80 effortlessly. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves to drive.

Poor Performance

I've had the car for 14 months and it has broken down 4 times and had to be towed each time. Asked to be let out of my lease because the car continues to have service problems and BMW's response is that this does not qualify as a buy back in their company. To me, that is poor customer service to tell someone sorry, please drive a car that does not work. I would not recommend the car on the experience I had with the vehicle and BMW North America.

This has turned out to be the ultimate experience, great comfort on long trips you arrive refreshed, always looking for back twisty roads for the handling.

This car drives like a dream and is very reliable. It is my 2nd 3-series. I had my first one for 6 years and sold it for more than the blue book value. I love the way it powers on the highway. Great pickup and great maneuverability. Who needs a big, dumb SUV (get those things out of my way on the highway!)? This little car is super!
