"We purchased this car used in 2007 with 48k miles and currently has 80k. The car is fast -we also installed a performance chip. Gas mileage is tolerable, about 26mpg hwy and 15mpg city. Only issues with the vehicle is the air compressor for the a/c leaks, so it must be charged every couple of months (but who cares, we put the top down). The back flaps of the convertible top constantly come undone -a nuisance, but not a deterrent (common issue). The engine top drains into the trunk causing the trunk to fill with water (poor drain design), because we leave the car parked outside now. Small trunk space -so prepare to pack light on trips (plus for males, major complaint for females). The greatness: it starts every time. It accelerates really quickly -just as fun as our '86 MKIII Supra and '06 Cayenne Turbo S. The seats are comfortable and the interior has held-up really well all things considered; we pile dogs in (mastiffs and pitbulls) and messy neighborhood kids. The audio is ok- if i wanted a better sound quality i would not have purchased a convertible. In all -great car to get you from point A to point B."

"After 5 winters in Arizona I finally realized it was time for another convertible. Since I've had pretty good luck with the 2000 BMW Five Series I drive during summers in NH it was natural to gravitate to an older 3 series Cabriolet and I was lucky enough to find a very nice, lightly used 330iC with good equipment and nice colors (black over red). I vetted the car carefully, ran a Carfax, a pre-purchase inspection and obtained service records. What a blast! This little car is just outstanding to drive with great power, handling and ride. Don't be afraid of older BMWs, if they are well kept, they're great buys and they're built to last (my 528iA has almost 140,000 miles) . I bought a really fun convertible for the price of a loaded Ford Fiesta!"

"Needed to upgrade my Mercedes SLK for a convertible with a back seat for grandkids. This car is perfect for me I got the sport package with a 5 speed. Acceleration and suspension is such fun Seats are super comfortable with lots of support Don't think i will drive cross country with people in the backseat but out to dinner it is ok for space. Love the trunk space for a convertible. Everything i was looking for BMW doesn't disappoint!"

"I currently own a 2007 X5, when my job changed, and had to commute over 50 miles (one way). I wanted to keep the X5, so I asked my salesperson at the dealership to let me know when an older model 3series gets traded in. He called as soon as this 330i came in. Once the car was checked out and found to be mechanically sound, I purchased the vehicle. What a great car. Handles awesome (even in the pouring rain). A joy to drive; the steering is on point; car manuevers perfectly, and extremely responsive."

"Thanks to Cars.com I bought this BMW in the U.S. that I could not get in Canada. It rides beautifully, it is cheap on gas (28/gall) and it is cheap to run and service. The car may be a bit small for a large driver but responds great to commands. It has all the amenities that a larger BMW provides."

"330xi is an awesome car. All wheel drive is critical for Maine winters. 5 speed standard is a blast to drive. Tons of power from the 3-liter straight-6. Corners excellent, looks beautiful, and brings attention to itself. Love my new car. Granted, it's ten years old and has 90k on it, so perhaps at $8500 it's not necessarily economical in the sense that you get an old car with a lot of miles for a substantial amount of money. But you get what you pay for, and this is definitely worth it. Biggest problem will be the repairs...definitely going to be a large expense anytime it needs to be taken to the mechanic. Hoping to do a lot of the work myself. So far nothing but good things to say!"

"I just bought a used 2001 bmw 330ci. This car is AMAZING!! This car has so many awsome things about it. First of all, the performance is even better than what I expected. Mine has the sport and premium packages and the premium harmon kardon sound system is great! The bass is very good and the speaker quality allows the listeners to think that they are right next to a live concert! All the gadgets on the car are up to date, even for an 01'. The blinkers and windshield wiper buttons are all well placed and easy to operate. I waited a year for the right car and it was well worth it. BMw doesn't call their cars "Ultimate Driving Machines" for no reason."

"The 330CI is a rock solid example of what a great car should be! Handing, performance, comfort, styling, very low interior noise levels, the list goes on. Overpriced yes, but you get what you pay for and that's why i bought mine used. If it just had and another 100 ponies and a standard LSD, i wouldn't drool over every M3 i see. Guess what my next car will be......"

"I love driving this car. It was really built for a woman, thank you! Thank you :) My husband likes to drive it, too. He enjoys detailing the most. It is small enough for him to just wash and wax it in about an hour, lol!"
