"The engine is strong. The handeling is fun. I did alot of homework on German auto ownership before purchasing the car. I am impressed with the fit and finish of their cars. I tend to keep cars for as long as humanly possiable. Some German manufactures have been making 6 cylinder engines for close to 100 years. That speaks to me. Living in New England on top of a hill is not the easiest way to make it home in the winter. THe AWD makes the snowy hill climb easy. This is my 8th car. I belive I can get at least 300k out of it. My last car from Korea lasted me for 10 years and 236K on the odometer before the winter road salt made it too far gone to merit keeping it up to snuff. I cannot remember the last time I saw a rust bucket GmbH made car on the road. I've see lots of Pacific Rim autos that fall into the rust bucket status after 10 years in New England. Many car manufacturers from Japan make a strong and reliable engine, but they lack in rust prevention. Do realize that German cars need to be cared for. You can pay others to maintain it or you can maintain it yourself at a lower cost."

"If you are going to buy a Bimmer, buy a newer one. They get very expensive to maintain. It's fun to drive and fun to be seen in, but make sure you budget $3,000 a year to maintain!"

"So far so good. A couple months. The car had 75K on it. We have a small clip problem with the driver side window insulation that allows a little bit of water drip inside and wind. The transmission has a little bump when the car is cold and it slows down into first gear. It goes away after the car warms up. Otherwise, pure enjoyment of a driving machine."

"I bought this car used, and in great shape with 160K miles on it. The paint looks great, the interior held up, it still handles great. I love the xi version, as I go in all conditions all the time. It is a little small inside, although I fit easily at 6' 2". It handles fantastically and I wish I could afford one new. The interiors hold up much better than other makes from what I have seen of other comparable used cars. I also have a 330CI convertible so you know I love the brand."

"Recently purchased my 2003 325 xi with 116K for $9000. Prior owners took great care of it, Looks and drives like new. Recent 300 mile road trip got 30.6 mpg going 68 MPH, amazing. Love the AWD and am looking forward to winter driving in Minnesota. Too soon to comment on reliability as I have only put on 2000 miles but I am optimistic."

"I am very impressed with the fit and finish of the car. Inline six engines have always topped my list and this does not disappoint. Buying a base model has also made it surprisingly affordable. I have had some cooling system issues, but recognize that this car is 8 years old , so it is too soon to judge reliability."

"I have owned this car for 6 months and put 30k miles on it. Car still runs like the day I bought. I bought it with 100k miles on it. Runs better than numerous newer cars I have owned. It is a manual but is very smooth. This car has the best response I have seen in any car I have owned. Winter driving is great. The car stays straight on the road."
