You just have to drive this car to understand why people just gush about BMW's. Nobody does it like BMW. This is my second 3 Series, and I'm just as blown away this time. This car is just a pleasure to drive. It handles perfectly, it has adequate power, it's comfortable, and it is just flat solid as a rock. It's put together that well. No wonder the 3 Series continues to lead the sports sedan segment!

I test drove Lexus, Infiniti, VW, Nissan, and Mazda before making my decision, and the BMW 325 was by FAR the absolute best performer of all! It is the tightest, most stable car I have ever driven! It corners like its on rails, and the big Inline 6 has a ton of torque! Test drive one and you will see! I HIGHLY recommend you get the sport package as well, as it makes a big difference.
Awesome

This is my third 3 series BMW. Still have a 95 325iC for summer, had a 00 328i, but the 04 325xi is by far the best. Handling, comfort, performance - nothing can beat a BMW. Awesome car.
I love this car!

I bought this 325i after testing the Audi A4 and Lexus IS300. It is everything I thought it would be. I am not a dragster but drive fast. This car is smoother the faster you go, at least that is what my wife says. I got the sport package and the DVD nav system. Love them. No leather, moon roof or automatic for me. I want a drivers car. HID lights are great! What fun!

I have extensively test driven many cars before my purhase. Some cars I have tested had more power, but none came close to the handling and solid feeling of a this car. Truly fun to drive. The service at Koni BMW in Beaverton, and specially at BMW Northwest in Fife is excellent.
Very nice car

After 20 years of waiting to buy a BMW, this car has not disappointed! The interior is stylish yet simple. The 184 hp V6 has plenty of power to get up and go when needed. I purchased my 325I with a manual transmission and I love every minute of the drive and I find myself making excuses to go somewhere just so I can take my car out. The ride is smooth and you always feel in control of the car at every speed and on all types of roads. The added bonus was that I got the car for $700 over invoice which I thought was great for a car that is in such demand. Can't wait to see what BMW comes up with in a few years when I make my next purchase.

I have asked my car guy to get me an SUV, a convertible, and on and on, but I cannot leave my 330I with SMG and M package. The car history revealed it was not a dealer car but sent over as a test vehicle then landed in an auction. I am told it is lower and more tuned than other models. I love driving it. The original tires were Michelin Pilot Sport summer which burned off at 25,000 miles. I replaced with Pilot All-Season and rears are wearing considerably faster than fronts. Just had the full 50,000 inspection and C check, the first off warranty. The full day check, new belts, fluids, an electrical glitch in a tail light and rear brakes, pads and rotors, came to $1900.
Great vehicle to own

EVERYONE was great at the dealership also. no pressure in buying the vehicle, very professional. best place around to buy a vehicle.

BMW's tagline of the "Ultimate Driving Machine" applies here. The 330i accelerates smoothly, stops quickly and takes the curves aggressively. If you are considering a 3, this is it. Not a lot of luxuries on the inside (bells and whistles) but paying for the things you can't see, i.e., brakes, handling, suspension, etc. A true performance car. I suggest the Xenon headlights, the fold down rear seats and the premium package...the rest is up to you. If you purchase, do the Performance Center Delivery...you won't regret it. One more thing, no automatic carwashes. Lastly, enjoy the ride, a great road car.

As a former SCCA competitor and driving school instructor, I find this vehicle to exhibit a tenatious, forgiving dynamic, while remaining comfortable, economical (30 mpg highway) and never trendy. The only complaint is the long, rather numb clutch throw which defies by best efforts at a smooth 1-2 shift !

Sporty, luxurious, fun AWD vehicle -- fast, smooth, quiet. Don't be fooled by "only 184 horses" -- gearing plus no turbo lag mean you get all the power you can use in an urban area. Drove other AWD sedans, plus RWD bimmers -- this one's da bomb.
Great combo of Fun/Practical

Purchased used w/ 18K miles almost 2 years ago. My driving is both suburban and highway, mostly conservative but I like to open it up once in a while. I drive about 20k per year. As title says, this car is a great combo of features when you have to use it to bring a kid to soccer practice, etc and like to "play" a bit. Not as comfortable on a long trip as our Volvo but it's livable. We have extended service plan up to 100k and it is worth it as with almost all Euro cars everything is very expensive and BMW takes full advantage.

This is the most amazing car I have ever owned, my lucky number must be 21. Performance is incredible, acceleration is tops. It's like driving a race car, my dream as a little boy. But why are there so few cup holders. BMW you rocked my world.

Had corrosion on underside of trunk lid after only 20K miles. Had a brake issue also. Both issues resolved by Dealer under warranty. Dealer was very helpful, providing loaner, washing the car during service, and actually rubbed out a rubber mark on the front fender. Car drives like a champ, has long leg room in front seats and has a 400 mile range. Fun to drive.

This is the best vehicle I have ever had. Yes, it costs more than the average, but you get a lot more too. The differences are subtle but effective. Most people won't notice the precision and sophistication of the smooth-as-butter five speed manual or the tenacity of the car's suspension through an off ramp. Sadly, most of the capabilities of this car will go unused by 80 percent of the people who buy the 330i. For the other 20%, we have explored the limits and understand what makes a BMW the Ultimate Driving Machine.

This my 3rd BMW in 10 years so i'm no stranger I have a 2004 330 ZHP sedan and i just LOVE IT! Personally to me the BMW 3 series is the best car in the world. It doesnt do one thing perfect, it does everything very well. Performance, handling, comfort, good looks, and safety in one package. If your in the market for a sports sedan look no more than the three letters, BMW has set and still holds the benchmark for the sports sedan and truly lives up to the "Ultimate Driving Machine" slogan.

The Performance Package option may look a bit expensive, but the added tweaks are well worth it. Drive this car hard, and it won't complain. The ride is firm, but supple and not as jarring as an M can be. This car intuitively knows where I want it to go, and it feels confident and safe at any speed. I thought the steering wheel was a little weird at first (that suede stuff), but now it feel right. A truly awesome machine.

Recently my Porsche was stolen, so I decided to get something different. I decided to get a 4 door that was under 35k. Well, I decided to look at a BMW 325i. Since the day I purchased it I haven't looked back. My new Beemer handles great, I sometimes forget I'm driving a 4 door. Unlike Porsche, BMW pays for all your sch'd oil changes, brake pads, etc. To sum it up, BMW is turely "The ultimate driving experiance."

I am eighteen years old and this is my second BMW. My first BMW was a 2000 sports wagon and I hated it! It was time to get into something sportier, yet sophisticated and practical. I fell in love with this car the moment the sales person drove it out of their garage and let me test drive it. This car is just as much fun to drive as the day I took it home. I will only drive BMW's for the rest of my life!

This is my first BMW. I have always dreamed of owning one, finally at age 31 I bought a 2004 325I. I have owned many vehicles in the past but none compare to this automobile. The way this car handles and feels on the road is remarkable. Recommend this vehicle highly tio everyone.

The 330i costs more money that it's competitors and these cars are NOT for everyone. But if you like to drive, dont need a big back seat and have enough money, these cars are second to none. I have a 4 door "performance package" (ZHP) and it is the best compromise between the standard 330i ( a VERY smooth machine) and the somewhat raw M3. The ZHP package will be a rarity since the new Bangle-ized version will be out next year- These cars are almost "throwbacks"- get one while you can!

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.

Having own an anemic Saab turbo for the past few years, it was quite refreshing to test drive the BMW. I was originally looking for an AWD sedan for the New England winter but fell instantly in love with the driving characteristics of the BMW. The combination of acceleration, handling and the deep exhaust note was intoxicating. The ride is firm but not jarring, and the seats are comfortable and supportive. Add the muscular yet sophisticated look, this BMW is a real gem.
A great drive

This is my second three series car and I was so amazed at the quality and engineering that went into my 2000 323Ci that I got a new 2003 330i. This marks the very first time I have ever bought the same car twice. For me, that is saying a lot about a vehicle. I think that the 3 series is the true world car, the benchmark in it's class and obviously one that every manufacturer wishes were theirs. I hope the new 3 series that debuts late next year is just as nice....because if it is, I'm marching myself down to my BMW store and getting yet another....of course in jet black too!

Love this car! Period!! Is it the fastest? No. Is it the most attractive? No. Is it inexpensive? No. Is it the most luxurious? No. That's a lot of nos, yes? Ah, but wait! Is the 3 Series the most overall well-balanced, interactive, inutuitive, and fun car to drive? Resoundingly, yes! I've owned a lot of cars over the years; an Acura TL, Audi A4, BMW Z4, Honda Accords, Ford Mustang, Toyota Camry, Lexus SC400, and Mini Cooper, and they all do at least one thing very well, maybe even best in class! But overall, the sum of their parts only equal their total. Remarkably, with the 3 Series, its total exceeds the sum of its parts. But you won't find it on paper. You have to drive it to know it.

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.

I have always purchased American made vehicles, until now. I fell in love with the design at first of the BMW 325i but never thought I would be able to afford one. Guess what, it is almost the same price as the American vehicles I have looked at. I have 2 children under the age of 6, they have plenty of room in the back seat. Besides that, I feel that this car is designed so well that each time I get going on the road...I am sure I will get to where I am going without any trouble. This 325i BMW is just what I have always wanted, and it looks sharp as well. I chose Black on Black with a 5-speed. It was worth the wait coming over from Germany.
