"Best car I've ever owned. (vs. passat, audi 2000, land rover, taurus wagon...) Maintenance is not much more expensive than U.S. cars. Thanks to the internet parts are very reasonable. The only repairs outside the maintenance schedule were the lower control arm bushings which cost $500 total. 170,000 miles and runs like a new car. 2r mpg in town, 31 on the road but i drive like the old man i am. only complaint is the glue or connectors they use on the headboard fabric and one interior wood panel. still running with original muffler! just changed the water pump/hoses/belts for the first time. simply and amazing car. handles so well. and the straight six is so smooth. pity they gave it up. it's bullet proof."

"I own 03 coupe 325, and it is one of the best cars I have ever owned. Very reliable and perfect both inside and outside. Drives very smooth, and inside of this car is very well designed. Cruise control and media control are very appropriately located on the wheel."

"I have an 02 BMW 325ci 2 Dr Coupe that I purchased from a public auction about 7 months back. The previous owner did all the maintenance (as far as I can tell at this time) other than pull over when it was overheating. I ran it through my repair shop and did cylinder headgaskets. The car is a pro... I have slight lifter noise but runs and drives awesome... This is my first BMW but am looking now to find a Z3. Never really been a BMW Fan prior but they definately know how to make a car luxurious! I love the way it rides and the only reason for a change is I am a convertible fan!! Great car in my eyes and not near as "expensive" as they are made out to be!!!"

"this car will make you feel invincible. you will feel as if doing anything on the road can be done and without fear of crashing or anything. this is indeed the ultimate automobile. the only bad thing is there isnt enough horsepower and torque compared to todays standards. otherwise great car."

"I've had this car for a few weeks, and the performance on this car, is like no other car I have driven. I plan on keeping this 2002 for a couple more years, and then trading it in for a 2006. Great car, and definitely recommend it! Make sure you change oil every 3k miles even though the dealer says 10k, and you'll be fine."

"I have owned this car for 4 years. The laundry list of repairs; 4 Window Regulators, Water Pump, Lower Control Arms, Climate Control Sensor, Thermostat, Left Rear Tail Light, Right Rear Tail Light, Oil Filter Housing, and numerous sensors for Check Engine Light. I am amazed that a vehicle born of "German Engineering" has so many quality and reliability issues. I have learned that the Lower Control Arms typically wear out at 60 to 80 K miles on this car. ??? Why?"
