My 1st BMW

All in all I have enjoyed this car. I wish I could afford the bigger model, 5 or 7 as the only drawback I've had is the small back seat in the 3.

Exceptional handling and way fun to drive. Not as powerful as I thought it would be, at least here in Colorado. StepTronic is disappointing. Shifts very slow (1-2 seconds) in "manual" mode, and sometimes upshifts when you might not want it too. I should have bought a 5 speed. 4WD system is great. Harmon-Kardon stereo is weak, way not worth the extra $$. Climate control system is pretty unintuitive and hard to use until you get used to it. I want a 330xi with a 6-speed!

Mini Turbine

Most fun since the 1967 Mustang..the engine is silky smooth, tranny is outstanding and love the sound of the engine. Engine behaves like a mini turbine and the car fits like a glove. It is a joy to go back to RWD car that is perfectly balanced. After 8 months and 1500 km it is solid as a rock. It the first car that my wife and son love to drive. Styling is timeless.

Great lines, good power, superb sound and comfort. The BMW 330Ci is remarkable fun. Eye-catching and fun, this convertible is great to drive and great to look at across a parking lot. The options make this car good in winter and summer. There's little to improve.

Great ride, even on brick streets. Super handling, good quality inside and out. Draws admiring looks everywhere. Best new car I've ever owned.
