"I bought a used 325i with 100k miles, put about 3k in vehicle and still could not find the problem , about a month after I bought it the car would smoke after it was driven over 50 miles, took it to mechanics, no blown head gasket, I keep the oil and water level topped off , still it does this, in the process of trying to get rid of it and buy a mercedes , any buyers let me know, only want 9k for it."

"These cars are a blast to drive. They really are. Fun fun fun. And when you get it out of the shop you can drive it around and look cool and be cool...until you get the loaner car while your BMW is in the shop again. Plan on installing cup holders in the loaner vehicle because you may be in the loaner more than your BMW. Now onto why. We've owned TWO 325's. Both incredibly well taken car of. One older gentleman was a retired doctor and well known in our community. He took very good care of the car with all maint. records. We bought it in 2008 with 8900k miles. Long story short. Engine and transmission ALWAYS ran and performed well, but if you want a car that costs $400.00 for window actuators (and they ALWAYS break on these cars) and if you want to hook up a direct money withdrawl from your bank account to the BMW shop for the money you'll have to dump into getting the a/c system working this is your car! It's the little things that will rob you blind on these cars. So, onto our second 325...we DIDN'T learn the first time! Bought a 325 with 112k from a neighbor. I won't go into it but he had OCD and even a speck of dirt on a floor mat would be enough to have him service his cars. He took better care of this car than he would his own children. We bought it and once again....the car bled us dry on EVERY single tiny issue. The other reviews are dead on. AMAZING handling, FANTASTIC looking car. Built with safety in mind. All that stuff. But LOOK OUT! It will BLEED YOU DRY with the little things. I'm just warning you. If you have a LOT of extra money laying about BUY THIS CAR. I'm not kidding. If you have extra income and don't mind making your mechanics house and car payment for them buy a BMW."

"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."
