I call it my street legal Go-cart

I'm the original owner and have put over 140k on it to date 4/21. It has been my main transport since purchase. I have the manual and no matter where I'm heading its a blast to be going there. It is nimble because it is lighter than it's heavier, newer cousins but it can still stick a corner and accelerate away with enough umph to make you smile for the basic little beauty it is. I've had to have a few minor repairs in the last 4 years but prior to that it was a steady, reliable companion who never let me down. Back seating has plenty of room, front seats are plenty roomy for tall people. Heated seats and other novel inovative items for its time still work great.

I love this car its a 05 325i sport package

I was skeptical at first, considering the high maintenance required by these cars . I bought the car with the usual codes , vacuum leaks , evap leak ,and valve cover leak , plus the ccv system was past its prime. Long story short a few hours of my time and a couple hundred in parts here and there and I have a car I would drive anywhere, and enjoy every mile . Its not a 330 but it can still pass most everything at the lights and the on ramp . And the handling, best driving couple I've ever driven . All in all ill hand this car down to my son in a few years hopefully.

Still Remains the Ultimate Driving Machine

The BMW 3 series of the E46 generation is truly the best when it comes to driving experience. The aggressive seat bolstering combined with the gauge cluster design create the feeling of command; this is the only car I've felt like a glove in. I wasn't driving the car, I was wearing it. This is easy as once you seat inside you'll notice the great outward visibility and driver focused center console. The seat is adjustable in every way and the steering wheel too. Stay on top of the maintenance, invest in upgrades such as good tires and performance enhancing to increase confidence. They're relatively rare, handsome and a classic. Would recommend to any BMW or automotive enthusiast.

Fun to drive

I wanted a convertible sports car. I purchased this car a while back and have been completely satisfied with it. I have not had any major repairs and it runs like a gem

Self maintenance = Win

If you are able to maintain one of these cars yourself. They are very cheap to run. Where a dealer will rip you off and charge $1700 for a job that cost me $7 and 2 hours of labor. Easy to work on. Cheap parts online. Far superior to any American car even up until 10 years later.
