Pros: Drives like a dream, and looks beautiful.
Cons: Expensive, and a couple of niggling problems.
The Bottom Line: If you like to drive, you must test-drive this car. Being behind the wheel on a twisty road is an absolute delight.
My beloved 1989 Accord was hit in August 2002. I had hoped to keep it for another year or so, but after the accident it was nearly a write-off (just bodywork, but it doesn't take much bodywork to write off a car that's only worth $2500), so I donated it ...

Pros: Great gas mileage, one touch windows, back up sensor
Cons: 6 speed needs to downshift to get the R's up to 3500-4000 for passing.
The Bottom Line: Buy this car if you like to drive. I drive to LA from San Francisco area just so I can drive it more. Corners like a dream.
The 330 is the best car I have ever owned. I have owned muscle cars, pickups and massively large cars and by far this is the most fun, luxurious and well proportioned. In the California Bay Area I bought the 2003 in 2005 with about 17000 miles. I was ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes
Pros: Strong low and top end power
Finished look inside and out
Cons: Options way too expensive
Too many options "needed" for $40K car
The Bottom Line: Ideal package (330xi) so long as you are willing pay for options other manufacturers made standard 4-5 years ago.
This is a car we did ont need - but enjoy vey much. The Jettz GLX 5-speed which was replaced satisfied our needs - The BMW offers far more stability, handling, and added width for 4 people with no performance hinderance. Sport seats are great.

Pros: Strength of engine, perfect interior, steering, sport seats, road grip, manual transmission

Intro - I have now had the opportunity to properly break in my 2003 electric red 330i w/ sport package, heated seats, moon roof and xenon's. I came across this car at BMW of Watertown, CT. and the dealer was very aggressive in trying to move it. The...

Pros: A great car for not too much money. An excellent buy.
Cons: I can't think of any.
The Bottom Line: Best buy for the under $40k models. A step up from the typical luxury imports from Japan.
First of all, I am not going to write about stats and numbers about the BMW 325, those can be found at edmunds.com, car magazines, etc. 1. The base price is at around $29 US, but most that are available are loaded and price will carry from the upper ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Fantastic gas mileage, acceleration, rear leg and head room for car size, breaking, handling, looks
Cons: Some problems with factory-defective parts, interior fake leather hard to clean, annoying break dust
The Bottom Line: Overall this is a car with some factory defects to overcome, but in the end is worth it!
My wife and I have owned our 2003 325i now for two years and for the most part have no regrets on our purchase. I do, however, need to gripe a little about the several factory defects that have occured so far (three trips to the dealer and counting...). ...

Pros: Status. Handling. Comfort.
Cons: It's not a 330.
The Bottom Line: solid ride with a great feel. You will not regret it.
I had to purchase this car used because my 2001 325Ci was totaled in an accident. I have 49,000 miles on the car and it is running great. Besides new tires I haven't had any major expenses to speak of. Like my old car, this one runs extremely smoothly ...

Pros: Nimble, agile, fun to drive, no service issues
Cons: smallish trunk, cup holders in poor location, brake dust
The Bottom Line: A great buy and a great driving experience, with no service hassles.
I've owned this car for 2 years now and have had no service issues to date, other than something caused by Mother Nature that wasn't BMW's fault (a colony of ants decided to make a home inside my ignition system, causing it to short out; who would have ...

Pros: A blast to drive, what every car should be!
Cons: Didn't get the fold down rear seats
The Bottom Line: Test drive the BMW last, you will buy it and appreciate what this car can do.
While looking for a new car I drove the Acura TL-S, the BMW 325i and the Saab Vector. While all were good cars the Saab and the Acura just didn't do much for me. The TL felt like an Accord. It had a number of bells and whistles but I just didn't ...

Pros: Killer in-line 6, power on all RPM band,gorgeous good look
Cons: Small trunk space, Steering is too light.
The Bottom Line: Don't just read about it, go test drive it. And you will know why they call this the Ultimate Driving Machine.
I took delivery of my 2003 BMW 330i back in early October. I ordered the car with sport and premium package with titanium silver as the color. The car is far better than I expected. Previously owning a 1999 323i, I knew that BMW makes good car. You...

From the moment I spotted this car I was in love with it! It was sitting in a row of Mercedes Benz's and stuck out like a sore thumb. Black with a Sport & Premium package and sand leather interior. I had never driven a BMW and therefore had no...

Pros: Very fun to drive, exceptional build quality, The BEST all-around car i've ever purchased!
Cons: The only thing I can complain about is the lack of head room for some.
The Bottom Line: If your looking for a solid, fun to drive car that is pretty good on gas mileage, choose this one. I'm now a BMW enthusiast for life.
My wife purchased a used 2003 BMW 330xi in January of 2008 for my son as his first car It is Titanium Silver Metallic in color, with black leather on the inside. I purchased it with just under 46,000 miles and came equipped with BMW's premium package and ...

Pros: A nice solid sporty car that performs pretty well.
Cons: Too cramped and pricey for what you get.
The Bottom Line: Its a great car, but, too cramped for us. The entry level car without leather is too spartan for the price you pay.
My wife and I recently went shopping for an entry level car in this class. In making the rounds of ...
