Germans Refute Fluid Dynamics And Replace It With "Intelligent Motoring"

Date of Review:  Aug 23, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the car. Overall it's a big improvement over the previous generation, though not quite perfect.
Review: UPDATED April 2007

Introduction
I have owned a 2004 "E-46" 325i with Sport and Premium package for three years now and I love it, for the most part. However, this review will focus on the new body style "E-90" 3 series, which I have...

Best 3-series and best small car yet again

Date of Review:  Aug 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Wow, this is an amazing deal for this level of performance--assuming you can keep your options list in check. This $30k performer can become a $40k shocker pretty quickly.
Review: Introduction
I went to the dealership and test drove the new 2006 BMW 3 series. I am not in the market for a new car and test driving cars is not something I do often. One word: Amazing.

Review
I test drove the 325. I don't see...

Ultimately Driving this Machine...

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you can afford it, after you try everything else, you will ultimately be driving this machine. It's that good.
Review: Introduction

So after 5 years, I'm back again to once again sing the praises of a BMW 3 series. This time it's been redesigned and re-engineered and not surprisingly, it's even better. I'm going to make this review a potpourri. There will...

The 330i is your own personal rollercoaster

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: If you absolutely, positively demand the best driving experience in a sports sedan which does not have an "M" on the back, accept no substitutes.
Review: Introduction

I have owned Japanese cars, Acura Integras, to be specific, for about fifteen years, and had a Nissan prior to that. All the cars were fun to drive and extremely reliable. I had also driven a few BMW's in my time, and clearly...

Resting on their laurels

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2006
The Bottom Line: For the money, you can get more car from Acura, Lexus, or even mid-level contender Honda. This isn't really a "luxury" sedan anymore.
Review: I've been in love with BMW since I was handed my first license. At 35, this was the moment I'd waited for since I was 15. I test drove the BMW 325 and 330.

1. Ergonomics were below average. The "modern" design on the armrest for the driver...

Awesome new Bimmer with some minor quirks

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: Still the best sports sedan on the market today- BMW keeps improving the ultimate driving machine.
Review: I own a 1996 BMW 328is and have driven the 2004 BMW 330i before. Both great cars. Well had to try out the newest 2006 BMW 325i for a test drive. Overall much improved for the most part over last 3 series. Loved it. Major improvements nicer creature...

Nice car with the exception of engine failure.

Date of Review:  Jan 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't know if I would buy another BMW. Definitely not a 2006 3 series.
Review: Bought my wife a 2006 325i a year and a half ago. She wanted something more luxurious than her Subaru 'golf cart' with 125K miles.

Within a few days of purchase a sensor in the fuel system failed causing a check engine warning light. This...

2006 BMW 330 car doesn?t work with the tires.

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Do not buy a 2006 BMW 3-Series until they have solved this problem.
Review: I've got more bad news about the run-flats on the 3-Series. In addition to the ride problems (which I can get over), they just don't last very long. We have a 2006 BMW 330 with the stock Bridgestone run-flats and in addition to all of the other...

2006 BMW 325i - Great Car...Horrific Customer Care

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2005
The Bottom Line: Great ride and control. Quiet and comfortable. Looks great too! Customer service at Weatherford is terrible...4 stars for the car 1 for service.
Review: My wife and I were unfortunately involved in a serious accident when my wife lost control of our Acura Legend on the Highway near Truckee California. We ended up in a deep ditch. My wife was badly contused and I sprained my neck severely, was...

great handling, poor ergonomics

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: For performance and handling, it's hard to beat a bmw. For other features (styling, ergonomics, etc.), there are many to choose from.
Review: i have a 2005 330ci and a 2007 325i (chris bangle model). i don't like the 2007 model. here are my comments on the 2007 model:

1. the 2007 model looks the same inside as it does outside. if you don't like it outside, you won't like the...
