good overall car but...

I love my 2004 BMW up until it reached 80,000 miles. where do I begin, valve cover gasket, upper suspension joints twice, CCV valve, fuel filter, oil filter housing, radiator expansion tank, replaced emblems twice front and back, door locking system, wheel bearings, head liner, loose grill, fuel pump, coil pack, plastic trims.... and I still cant figure out how to turn off service engine light off. the car has 108,000 miles.

The Ultimate Driving Machine

These are the last of a great breed of BMWs. They were built with solidity and longevity in mind and have stood the test of time and mileage with very little issue. This particular car was bought and serviced by one owner in Florida and because of the navigation system this is an extremely good car for the money!

Underpowered

The 184 hp engine was inadequate in my 325Ci; a 330Ci is much better. The engine had a very random high-rev miss that was never found or cured. My car was equipped only with automatic nad help me avoid repair bills for other options like GPS.

excellent powerful car

this car was well built i had it for a while and it was well over 200k miles, very strong car goes over 100 and the steering would still be firm and not shaking.

Best Looking Convertible Ever!

E46 platform is stylish, sexy and fun to drive. Especially with the top down. The 3 series is reliable and a great car to own. Worth the $$$ for sure.

Love the classy look and drives great!

This car has always been reliable. It drives very smooth even at high speeds, feels solid. It take premium fuel only but does really well on gas mileage. I really enjoy owning this vehicle.

This car is so beautiful and in such good shape.

This car fits me and meets my expectations of the kind of car I was looking for. BMW's have always been my favs and it is my dream car. This car drives like a dream too. I am so proud to own it. The radio in this car is of the best quality.
