This is the Ultimate Driving Machine!

I've always dreamed of owning a BMW and for years I've driven other cars (Honda, Pontiac, Toyota, Mitsu, etc...). After I got my 2004 330Ci, I can't believe I waited this long! The car handles very well and the performance is top notch. I'm sure the 225HP rating is "toned" down since it feels more powerful than that. The interior speaks of luxury and the sound system is pretty good. For price/performance/luxury, this car can't be beat. From now on, I will always buy a BMW.

This 330XI is awesome!!! It has a good ammount of power, very good handling and good braking power!!! The build quality is second to none!!! The Step-Tronic is fun and sport mode is good for that extra rpm raising power!!! I'm just waiting to test the car in the snow with the AWD.

Steptronic recall is a must

New 325Ci, steptronic loaded. Less than 2,000 miles car hesitates on acceleration. The car revs wildly then slowly lurches forward. Dealer and BMW of NA played DUMB. I produced documentation found on message boards. A safety bulletin SIB 2407 03. BMW tells dealers to "replace the transmission on a customer complaint basis only"? Not how makers of "The Ultimate Driving Machine" should treat customers. NHTSA defect investigation underway as of Feb 04. I have lost all confidence in my dealer and BMW for not contacting me.

330 Xi handles great, good looking and is fun to drive. Got a good deal at Rallye Motors. Take a test drive you wont buy anything else......

This is our first BMW and we were concerned about the price.... Now, we are glad we spent the extra money for the sport package. What a Great Car! After initially resisting this purchase my wife loves it and now understands what the "Ultimate driving machine" means.
