"When i went to cars.com looking for a car i was looking for something very specific. A BMW 330i but just any 330i a ZHP 6 speed standard trans that was not grey or silver. Cars.com found my car for the right prices but it was in NC and I live in NJ. but the price was good so I flew down to Charlotte purchased the car and drove it home. My car is sweet, its a dark royal blue, 4 door with the 6 speed i wanted."

"We bought an 03' xi for our son as a first car. He was very, very happy, of course! I have owned several BMW's in past and they have all performed wonderful. This car has almost 140K miles but handles and drives great. The 330 has a lot more punch than the 325 or 328 and I would recommend the 330 if you can find one. I have had 3 BMW's, all 3 series and they just never break down. The most I sent on all 3 cars in repairs was about $200!! BMW's are like the Terminator......they just keep going and going. Drive one and you will buy one."

It is in fact the "Ultimate Driving Machine"

"I've been thinking about a BMW for quite some time but didn't want to spend a ton of money for a new one. Although its a '03. I bought this 330xi with only 76,000 miles after a lot of looking and searching for just the right car. I must say that it was well worth the effort and time spent. It might be 8 years old, but this IS my "Ultimate Driving Machine" What a pleasure it is to drive this car."

"I've had lots of cars... trucks, sports cars, junkers... and this was the first BMW I ever drove let alone owned... boy was I missing out. You really do feel in touch with the road. Feed back on the vehicle is impressive. You input, it does what you want. Want a smooth ride for gramma? No problem. Want to take a turn and have your buddy suck the leather off the seat and into his pants? It will do that too. And I'm amazed at what great fuel Milagros it gets for a I6 and a fat foot like mine 25 mpg. Not bad when you consider the performance. I'm hooked. I don't know if I can own anything else now. Expensive to maintain, sure; but you really do get what you pay for at least with BMW."

"I had been lurking around the internet to buy my next car. After months of searching, I was able to find my extremely well kept BMW 330CI Convertible. The owner took maticulous care of the car and I was able to get a great deal. I believe that it takes a fair amount of research to find what you really want and when you find it you need to pull the trigger quickly or you may lose on the deal. My deal was great, a totally loaded 330IC with upgraded BMW wheels/tires, 38,000 miles for $17,500. I'm very happy with the entire process and can't thank Cars.com enough."

"I have a 2003 330 ci with 40,000 miles. I've had it since 8K miles and never had a problem. It's quick, responsive and fun to drive, plus it gets 20 MPG. I also have a 2008 Acura MDX that I drive in inclement weather. When I have gone weeks without driving it and take it out again it is like driving a brand new car."

"Electronic gremlins just cost me $1500.00 to fix the driver's door lock and gas gauge at the dealer. . . shocking! I love the handling & performance of my 330i sedan, but the electronic baloney that fails at less than 36,000 miles is ridiculous. It's like being married to an extra beautiful woman who knows it; very exciting, but the baggage that goes with it can be a load to carry."

"There is a reason this car is consistently on Car and Driver's top ten list every year. It is simply the best car in its class by far. What more can I add to the user reviews posted above. My model is a 330CI with sport package, premium package and 5-speed manual. Usually after I own a car for a year or two I start to think about wanting something else, but not this time. I think I would be sad to let this baby go (even for one with the new body style). I live in the city and this car is a blast to zip around city streets, easy to park, etc., however you will feel every bump and pothole in the road (if you want a car that absorbs every bump in the road then buy an SUV). On the highway it is an absolute dream to drive -- it feels like a much larger car at high speeds, if you know what I mean. Nimble in the city and on windy roads, and extremely comfortable cruising at a high rate of speed. Also no major maintenance issues. I opted out of the extended warranty and good thing because I've never needed it."
