Reasonable fun to drive. Interior design/style could be nicer for this price point. Window and doors have problems. Interior buttons break.

Stalling out problem & other problems

Ever since I purchased my 2004 330CI 6 speed manual, I was the service shop almost every week during the first 3 months of ownership. I had speaker rattle noises coming from the passenger door. Insulation between the speaker and door panel fixed it. Equiped with BMW 18" rims that constantly pulled to the right. BMW ended up replacing 1 tire and tweeked alignment to improve it. Worst problem encountered was the sporadic stalling problem when car was at an idle at a stop light. Engine would just cut out. BMW claims it is a software problem and no current fix at this time and had to temporarily increase my idle speed by 50. I got rid of this car!!

Great Car my 3 rd BMW

The fun in driving this car is not equaled by anything I test drove. I drove my last BMW 125,000 and every time I drove that car it felt as if I was getting in it for the first time. The only reason I purchased a new one is my 17 year old daughter tested the air bags and they worked fine when she destroyed the car. This is the 3 rd BMW that saved the life of someone in my family. I car you will love!

I have never owned a BMW before now. I can say that I find the experience to be incredible. The car has kick A-- attitude and it looks good too. I have only found 2 drawbacks so far. 1. The fuel economy isn't what I expected, but I should have known better and the back seats sit so upright that they lack comfort for even a 1 hour trip. All in all I would buy this car again and again and again. However, I reserve judgment on winter driving since I haven't experienced that yet. Lets see how the car handles the North East winters!
