2004 BMW 325 consumer reviews

I bought my 2004 325i in 2005 with about 20,000 km on it. It has been very reliable and has all the features I could want in a car. It's still running perfectly with about 275,000 km on it now. I do maintenance as recommended by the BMW club which includes some preventive maintenance. Repair costs have been about the same as other cars. If you are looking for a good used car, the 2003 to 2005 BMW 325i should be on your list.

325Xi Wagon. Simply a classic. Great road feel and long distance driver. This is my second and I just think it is a perfect BMW. Plenty of space to lug stuff around and is just a treat to drive. Stable in winter weather. Fun on the twisties. Engine is responsive and sounds amazing. Can't say enough about this E46.

I love the looks and the handling of my 2004 BMW 325 Ci. Best car I have ever owned. Regular maintenance is all it has ever needed. This is a car with personality, dependability, and power.

Car has timeless design and sporty character. Probably the most reliable BMW ever built. Handles much better then the new 3 series G20 generation. A must have car if you can find one in great shape. SMG on my E46 makes me enjoy 325ci more than my 550i m sport

Still very quick with 105K. Engine is great. All maintenance records from purchase in 2014. Minor body damage. The rear brakes were replaced last year @101K and new tires were installed @ 98K

Has great driving power. One of the best features for me, easy to care for, very reliable, compact which is great for personal washing and detailing.

I bought my 2004 325ci brand new, ordering everything I wanted in the car, including 5-speed manual transmission. It is the best, most reliable car I have ever owned, not to mention that it is also gorgeous. I will never get tired of driving this car. No other car handles like it or is as much fun to drive.

I used to be a valet driver for an NFL team and can attest that this car drove better than most of their six-figure toys.

The car is perfect the best car because its manual So the Maintenance is a lot cheaper best car for a first car or the ones are new to the manual world

I take very good car of my car and do not beat it, thus, the car has been good to me. It did the cooling system re-do just recently as preventative ( at 114,000 miles) Other little stuff like a coil, valve gasket, tires , brakes, plugs and other maintenance stuff. Nothing major. I have really enjoyed this car? I bought it used in 2015 with 24,000 miles, no has 116,000. Paid $13,000 and only needed new tires. Original purchase price was $40,325.00. That was a lot of money back then!! Not sure why so much but it does have genuine Dakota leather and the XI ( all wheel drive) . I still love this car and its drive. Some interior items are cheap to me ( trim at the pillars, cup holders and cheapy film on them,,,they chip up easy. OHHHH!!! I have Bi xenon lights and they always flicker and have never been able to fix. Little annoying. I deal with it but may do something soon. A ballast?? it may need. ac is great, heat is fine and I love my heated seats in winter...I really do love this car. If you get one, make sure you know how it was maintained and what was done.
