"I simply love this car. It handles like no other. You have to take a spin and hit the turns at high speeds. It just sucks around the corners."

"I purchased my BMW 325i in August of 2010. I have now owned for almost four months and have had great luck with it and absolutely love it. The car drives like a dream, it's V6 engine sure gets up to speed when you need it to. The handling is great, only a small rotation of the wheel makes a whole city-block turn. The design of the car, especially mine in particular, the silver metallic, is very sporty and, to me, looks very timeless. Make sure, I can not stress this enough, to get a good background and over quality and maintance check on your car, there have been problems I've heard about these vehicles, if you know someone that has one or knows vehicles well, make sure, if at all possible, to have them look at the car, engine area, etc. No issues with my car so far, and really don't expect to have many, if any. My car has been well-maintained, and as you take good care of it, it will last you into the six-digit range of miles. Great car and would reccommend it to anyone looking."

"Drives smooth, good car so far. A few mechanical problems with mine but I'm not sure if that is specific to the 2004 or not."

"I always had wanted a BMW. Never did I imagine it would be this exciting. I love driving to work everyday, and the grocery store, gas station, or just for the fun of it. Despite being a 2004, people still think I drive a new BMW. It is a V6 with 185hp, but has the torque to get this thing moving. If you are looking for a race car, look elsewhere. But if you are looking for a car that makes you feel like you are in the autobahn, then this is for you. Handling and braking are uncomparable. Gas mileage is great! Maintenance can be pricey if the car isn't properly cared for. All in all, a great great car."

"I've had my 325Ci for about a month now and will never look back. I regret not getting the larger engine because of the horsepower difference, but other than that, I have no complaints. The car handles beautifully, and gives me the ability to tightly take corners without worry of it not holding the turn. By far the most fun car I've owned, and is a big change from the Infinity Q45 and the GMC Yukon that I've owned previously, and great on gas, great on looks. The convertible is nice just in time for the summer and is wonderful. The thing that I like most about the BMW 3 series line is that most people can't tell what year it is since BMW hasn't changed body styles drastically within the past couple of years which is a definite plus."

"I have a 2004 Alpine White BMW 325xi (Cold Package) that I brought in September 2007 with 46k miles. I now have almost 69k miles (2 1/2 years later) and the car is in such good condition. The DSC (Dynamic stability control) is such a pleasure to have. It helped me so much in the snow storms here in new york. I never have ever got stuck in it and never slided. The heated seats are so nice to have on cold days. The handling on a bmw is beyond anything I have ever driven. Its stiff and makes it feel like your hugging the road. It has such nice cornering like you wouldnt believe it. I guess thats why they say its the Ultimate Driving Machine. I have never had a major mechanical problem with my car EVER! Yes you have to replace brakes, wipers, tires etc but that is common. They are also expensive to repair if you dont have a warrenty like me because mine expired last year. I have spent overall at least 4k on maintance since owning this car. Oil changes are expensive (if you use good syntheic oil every 5k miles). Try googling MOD parts for your BMW if you want to do it your self because its alot cheaper. Overall I love my bimmer and I wouldnt trade it for anything. My e46 will be with me untill it dies or I die lol. Note: Be prepared for expensive repairs if you go without a warrenty. Other than that like my title says GREAT sporty, reliable, AWD ever OWNED!"

"After owning several Jaguars and Mercedes, I decided to give BMW a shot. I quickly found out what I had been missing with other vehicles. My BMW is the smoothest, sleekest, most exhilirating car I have ever owned or driven. I say this despite the fact that a piece of interior trim came off the inside back door and the shift knob (manual) came off in my hand. Who wants a car qwithout personality? I love my Bimmer. (24.5 mpg)"
