Follow up to a 2008 review. I still like driving this car and the looks are great. However, I am starting to have to put $$$ into this car for repairs. BMW ripped me off by denying to pay for a broken sunroof diagnosed at the dealership 2 days before the warranty ran out. It'll take!!$1800!! to repair it. The front end suspension has cost me $700 in the last 6 months and I need to put another $750 into a new driver side ball joint and related parts. Best advice for this car is to buy an extended warranty to at least 100,000 miles. Still love to drive it. Ran at 110+ mph in Wyoming this summer for over 25 miles. WOW!! What their missing is expensive repair bills, but it is still a fun ride!!

This is the first BMW that I have ever owned and I am sold for life. I have owned luxury vehicles (Mercedes and Jaguar) as well as a sports car (Honda S2000) and the BMW 325xi is the best of both worlds. I test drove the G35, A4, and X-type but none compared to 325xi. Also, I initially went to buy a 330xi but after driving both vehicles decided that the additional horsepower was not worth the additional cost. I have owned the 325xi for 3 months now and I am completely happy with my purchase.

Great to drive, but some little problems

I've had this car for eight months, and every mile is a pleasure. I look for excuses to get into it. However, in that time, the hissing/crackling radio was replaced (took three trips to dealer: diagnosis, amplifier, radio); the fuel door opener broke; and now the interior sunroof panel doesn't track straight and the gas gauge is wrong (ran out of gas with 1/8 tank indicated). Sounds like a lot of problems, but they're all minor and none (except the hissing radio) detracted from the pleasure of driving, which is the main reason to have this car. I'm glad I bought it.

We have owned other small cars such as a Mercedes and Cads. This car initially did not impress me as fast. However, as the motor loosens up a bit it is getting really fast. Cornering is great. The construction and finish are better than we found with the others.
